Jeffrey Epstein memorial plaque appears at Donald Trump’s Aberdeenshire golf course

A JEFFREY Epstein memorial plaque has been installed at Donald Trump’s Aberdeenshire golf course.

The campaign group Everyone Hates Elon posted a video yesterday taking credit for the plaque and showing it being installed on a bench at the US president’s course in Balmedie. 

It reads: “In loving memory of Jeffrey Epstein - a terrific guy. See you very, very soon. From Donald”. 

It comes a week before the US president is due to land in the UK for his unprecedented second state visit.

The group said in the video: "Donald Trump called Jeffrey Epstein a "terrific guy". He was a sex trafficker and paedophile.

"So we know he'd want to remember him properly on his Aberdeen golf course. Trump arrives in the UK next week for a state visit. Let's absolutely ruin it."

It comes as Trump has continually attempted to bat away claims about his past friendship with Epstein. 

This week, Democrats in the US released a sexually suggestive letter to Epstein allegedly signed by Trump, which he has denied.

The letter was included as part of a 50th birthday album compiled in 2003 for Epstein.

Epstein killed himself in a Manhattan jail while awaiting trial in 2019 on charges that said he sexually abused and trafficked dozens of underage girls.

Trump has said he did not write the letter or create the drawing of a curvaceous woman that surrounds it, and he filed a 10 billion dollar (£7.3 billion) lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal for earlier reporting on his link to the letter.

“As I have said all along, it’s very clear President Trump did not draw this picture, and he did not sign it,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement posted on X.

“President Trump’s legal team will continue to aggressively pursue litigation.”
