Jim Acosta needs to guarantee that President Donald Trump’s friendship with Jeffrey Epstein is remembered within the historical past books — that’s, if we nonetheless have correct historical past books sooner or later (we’re you, Linda McMahon).
Acosta revealed his hilariously petty thought to endlessly hyperlink Trump to the late convicted intercourse trafficker on Wednesday’s episode of his Substack present whereas he was blasting Trump’s newest assault on his predecessor, former President Joe Biden.
On Wednesday, the White Home revealed the Mar-a-Lago revamp of the constructing’s historic West Colonnade — an exterior area that runs between the West Wing and the Govt Residence. Beforehand the hall’s wall was fully clean, however it now boasts a row of gaudy gold-framed portraits of every president, which the White Home is asking the “Presidential Walk of Fame.” But, the portrait of Biden is lacking. Squeezed in between two portraits of Trump is a photograph of an autopen writing Biden’s signature, with a label studying “Joseph R. Biden Jr. 2021-2025.”
Trump’s dig is a reference to his longstanding declare that the Biden administration abused the autopen and implied that lots of Biden’s prior actions are invalid. That is regardless of former presidents utilizing autopens for many years to signal numerous paperwork.

Acosta was outraged by the stunt, likening it to “defacing the White House,” after which rolled out his suggestion as to how the following Democratic president, like “President Newsom or President Jasmine Crockett or whoever,” might avenge the act.
“I think the next Democratic president of the United States, when he gets to — or she gets to — Washington, D.C., should take every picture of Donald Trump in the nation’s capital and replace that picture with a photograph of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein,” Acosta stated an hour into the episode.

He continued by taking his thought one step additional.
“The next president of the United States should say — if it’s a Democrat, if we still have elections — that any photograph, and this could be an executive order, ‘I hereby decree, by executive order, that any photograph of Donald Trump that ever exists in the United States of America in a federal building, that that picture should be a photograph of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein.’ I am dead serious.”
