Jimmy Kimmel Wishes Donald Trump Happy Birthday With Jeffrey Epstein-Inspired Birthday Card

Jimmy Kimmel wished President Donald Trump a happy birthday via Instagram on Sunday, June 16, 2024, by sharing a birthday card designed to resemble a note Trump allegedly sent to Jeffrey Epstein for his 50th birthday. The card, posted by Kimmel, featured the message "Happy 80th Donald! A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday and may every day be another wonderful [day]." This reference alludes to a widely circulated image of a birthday card purportedly from Trump to Epstein, which surfaced following Epstein's arrest on sex trafficking charges in July 2019. Kimmel's use of this imagery connects Trump to Epstein, a convicted sex offender with whom Trump has had past associations. The late-night host has frequently used his platform to comment on political figures and events, often employing satire and humor to critique them.
