Asha Rangappa thinks the enigma/gamine anagram in Trump's letter for Epstein was probably an in-joke Epstein started

Itâ€™s true that the enigma/gamine anagram is beyond Trumpâ€™s abilities but itâ€™s something that Epstein, who seemed clever, would think of and tell Trumpâ€¦and Trump loves to adopt/repeat things that make him feel â€œsmartâ€ while making an inside joke

Yes. No matter who conceived it or authored it, Trump and Epstein yucked it up when they talked about it later on. John1956PA Jul 21 #2

DUers have pointed out that some of the words sound more British than American.

Maxwell planned and organized the scrapbook. She would have known that Trump was too stupid to come up with anything clever.

I agree that he would have chortled along with the joke. People laughing about raping children. Nice.

So, it wasn't Trump. Might have been Epstein, but it's an anagram that would simple befuddle most people.

While most people understand that enigma is some sort of puzzle, very few know the word "gamine.' Very few people would use "enigma" in a spoken or written sentence.

So, I'm not sure about the interpretation here.
