Comedians The Good Liars staged a provocative stunt inside the lobby of Trump Tower in Manhattan, aiming to spotlight President Donald Trump’s past ties to Jeffrey Epstein. In a video posted Tuesday to X, the duo described their stunt as “Finding the perfect place in Trump Tower to hang a framed copy of Donald Trump’s birthday note to Jeffrey Epstein,” and showed Jason Selvig holding up the letter near a wall beside the building directory. The framed 2003 birthday note, written inside a hand-drawn silhouette of a naked woman, appears to carry a signature forming the figure’s pubic hair. The note allegedly says “enigmas never age” and includes the sentiment “may every day be another wonderful secret.” The prank was orchestrated to draw public attention to the ongoing questions about the former president’s relationship with Epstein.
Trump has repeatedly denied writing the note, and his lawyers sued The Wall Street Journal in July after the paper reported on the document. The Epstein estate was later subpoenaed for the original copy, underscoring ongoing legal disputes over the artifact and its provenance.
In a video chronicling the prank, Selvig asked a Trump Tower security guard for the best place to leave the note, only to be told, “No, it shouldn’t be anywhere.” The White House on Tuesday reiterated Trump’s denial, with spokesperson Abigail Jackson telling The Daily Beast that “This isn’t the President’s signature—and it’s not news that Epstein knew Donald Trump, because Donald Trump kicked Epstein out of his club for being a creep,” in reference to Epstein’s reported ejection from Mar-a-Lago in 2007.
Observers describe the latest stunt as part of a pattern by The Good Liars of using humor to prompt questions about Trump’s associations with Epstein. Earlier this year, the duo briefly disrupted the Trump Tower gift shop by displaying a photo of Trump and Epstein together at Mar-a-Lago in 1997, a visual cue that has fed ongoing public debate about the Epstein episode and its political resonance. The broader context remains unchanged: Epstein died in 2019 while facing federal sex-trafficking charges, a development that continues to fuel theories about a network of powerful individuals linked to the case.
While the note’s authenticity remains contested by Trump and his allies, the prank underscores how entertainment figures have repeatedly leveraged high-profile spaces to keep the Epstein story in the public eye. The White House has offered only the denial that the signature is not Trump’s, while lawyers and journalists continue to pursue the provenance of the document and any related communications. In the crowded arena of Culture & Entertainment storytelling, the stunt adds another chapter to the ongoing, highly visible dialogue surrounding the former president and Epstein, blending tabloids, legal intrigue and public spectacle in a way that captures attention without delivering definitive answers.
