Jokes about President Donald Trump shining up former President Bill Clinton’s rod have flooded social media ever since the world began combing through newly released emails tied to Jeffrey Epstein.
On Nov. 12, the House Oversight Committee dropped over 20,000 pages of documents connected to convicted sex offender Epstein.
If you’ve come across the jokes, you’ve seen Trump and Clinton’s names getting dragged into the chaos, sparking a wave of wild punchlines about their imagined bedroom interactions.
Here’s the rundown on Trump, Clinton, Epstein — and why blowjob jokes are suddenly everywhere.
How did the jokes about Donald Trump giving Bill Clinton a blowjob start?
One of the newly released documents includes a March 2018 email chain where Epstein’s brother Mark suggested Epstein ask Steve Bannon — who had been ousted from the White House months earlier — whether Vladimir Putin had photos of “Trump blowing Bubba.” It’s unclear if Mark was joking, and no such photos have ever surfaced.
Who is Bubba?
After the email surfaced, people online quickly assumed “Bubba” was Bill Clinton, since that nickname has been tied to him for years. But Mark Epstein told Newsweek that the “Bubba” mentioned in the message was not the former president — though he offered no clues about who it actually was or what the email meant.
Have Trump or Clinton spoken on this?
Trump hasn’t directly addressed the email itself, but he did jump on social media calling for Clinton to be investigated over his connection to Epstein.
Trump wrote that he’ll “be asking A.G. Pam Bondi, and the Department of Justice, together with our great patriots at the FBI, to investigate Jeffrey Epstein’s involvement and relationship with Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, Reid Hoffman, J.P. Morgan, Chase, and many other people and institutions, to determine what was going on with them, and him.”
Clinton’s camp fired back shortly after. His spokesperson, Angel Ureña, posted on X: “These emails prove Bill Clinton did nothing and knew nothing. The rest is noise meant to distract from election losses, backfiring shutdowns, and who knows what else.”
What jokes are people making about the situation?
As expected, social media has been running wild with jokes, memes, and punchlines about the bizarre email. Here are a few of the types of posts people are sharing:
