You really think Trump would enjoy a pun on an anagram of a synonym of indelicacy?

Even before his brain melted he was considered one of the most uncurious fellows to have even lived.

Epstein's favorite book was apparently Lolita. That book used the word "gamine." It's actually eerily fitting that if Trump and Epstein's secret was pedophilia, that that's exactly what "enigma" means.

Trump isn't smart but he can parrot back something that sounds smart from someone else.

He might not have come up with the term. Let's say you're a supposed "financier" whose real specialty is procuring young girls for ultra-rich clients. You don't want to use the actual word in case someone overhears it or reads it, so you come up with a term like "enigma" that your clients can use for an added layer of security when discussing your services. One of those dumb-shit clients uses that word in a public letter to you because he thinks nobody could possibly decipher it.
