I'm afraid I don't quite understand that.

Well, I must admit that it does sound somewhat puzzling, dear Sister Dana; but, I think it pertains to something else. You may recall that Mrs. Trump — our beloved former First Lady — re-designed the rose garden at the White House. The garden had been designed previously by First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy, and there was a bit of an uproar from the Demonrat, LIB-beral people, concerning Mrs. Trump's new design.

With reference to the statue, I think that when Mrs. Trump said she "didn't want to see it", it meant that she didn't want to see it [in the garden]. A similar re-design of the Mary Lago gardens had been undertaken recently, and I'm afraid that dear Mrs. Trump felt bullied by the Demonrats when they posted unkind things about her project on the Kennedy rose garden (as you shall see below).

She did not want to be bothered by similar wrathful comments, if the Robert E. Lee statue had been placed in the petunia patch at Mary Lago. I'm sure that's what the article means.

Thank you so much, Sister White. That makes a lot of sense.

Oh, you are just as welcome as welcome can be, dear Sister Dana. I should mention that I had also heard that there was a bit of "drama" when one of the LIE-beral, fake news people had left "a little something" in the Mary Largo garden after an interview with dear President Trump. I'll enclose a photo for you to examine. I think this sort of thing points out — very clearly — why Mrs. Trump did not want to have another statue placed in the garden!

The injustices are being piled on President Donald Trump. First, Sleepy Joe and his insiders stole the election from Trump. Now, a new injustice. One of the most striking pieces of art in the U. S., located in Georgia, is being taken down.

A sign has graced the highway quoting scripture, "Unto Us a Son is Given..." A wonderful picture of Trump is right beside the scripture. It is said good art triggers an emotional response and this is an example. Many tears of joy must have flowed from seeing this billboard:

Oh, how disgusting is this, dear Brother Mayor Hold? Why, it's nothing other than an abominable atrocity — that's what it is! And, as if this isn't bad enough, there are other signs that have been put up around the country — such as the one I am attaching. This is a terrible campaign that has been started by the devilish Demonrats. Sleepy Joe Burden will regret this; mark my words!

Please proceed quickly to the introduction page and introduce yourself. We may learn you have some acceptable qualities--that you go to a church, that you parent sons and have asked Jesus to forgive your sins.

For someone whose chosen user name is meant to credit his brain power, you sure do write an abysmal post.

Also, I won't be thanking you for "letting" me "live as I want to live." That right is enumerated in the Declaration of Independence. It is not some grand, magnanimous concession on your part.

Barging into an on-line house of worship, criticizing them and then imperiously waving your hand while saying, "go ahead and practice your incorrect beliefs" makes you look like a boor, rather than an intellectual.

Poor, poor President Trump; my goodness! The things that this dear man has had to put up with are unbelievable. And, now, he has had to resort to suing even his own niece, Mary (and the New York Times — no surprise there), for saying unkind things about him.

Rather than being a cooperative, friendly family member, Miss Mary has, apparently, sought to offer "inside information" about her Uncle Donald. What a fool she has been, to take on the world's most powerful man.

Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday sued his estranged niece and The New York Times over a 2018 story about his family's wealth and tax practices that was partly based on confidential documents she provided to the newspaper's reporters.

Mr. Trump's lawsuit, filed in state court in New York, accuses Mary Trump of breaching a settlement agreement by disclosing tax records she received in a dispute over family patriarch Fred Trump's estate.

Hasn't our dear President been though enough, already? What with voter fraud being rampant in so many of the states, and then suffering as he watches not-my-President Joe Burden tear apart our nation, it is little wonder that our beloved, true President is so upset! I think that the dear lady in the following clip says the truth so very clearly here:

[Johny Joe Hold]

There is so much misleading or false information about Trump's wealth. An example is an article today in Forbes.

The article claims that if Trump simply had invested his inheritance in the stock market back when he received it he would be richer today than he is after spending a career in real estate, golf courses and resorts. This is misleading because it leaves out his ability to make deals and turn things around.

Take for example his hotel in Washington DC he opened a few years ago. It loses millions of dollars every year and has been for sale for quite a while. That his net worth numbers are down just now does not take into account the huge sum he will inevitably receive for the DC hotel. He knows how to sell property and is a world leader in negotiation. When he sells some of his unprofitable properties for huge lofty prices we will see much better net worth numbers.

My advice is to ignore Forbes and any other publication which seeks to discredit the genius of Donald Trump.

I think Forbes is leaving out all of the money that President Trump made by defaulting on his company's loans in his many bankruptcies. My God, that man is a financial genius.

New documents show Trump kept 2 sets of books for his biggest property in Manhattan, pointing to potential financial fraud

Did Forbes make sure to use the set of books that Trump shows when he's applying to loans and not the ones when he's getting his property appraised to pay taxes? You pay more taxes on property when the government thinks the value of the property is greater, thus is makes financial sense to trick the government into thinking your property is worth less than it actually is. Though these artificially reduced values shouldn't be used when appraising his net worth. Forbes should be using the set of books Trump uses when applying for loans.

Trump’s businesses are full of dirty Russian money. The scandal is that it’s legal.



Let’s go back to 1984, when David Bogatin, an alleged Russian gangster who arrived in the United States a few years earlier with $3 in his pocket, sat down with Trump and bought not one but five condos, for a total of $6 million — about $15 million in today’s dollars. What was most striking about the transaction was that at the time, according to David Cay Johnston’s “The Making of Donald Trump,” Trump Tower was one of only two major buildings in New York City that sold condos to buyers who used shell companies that allowed them to purchase real estate while concealing their identities. Thus, according to the New York state attorney general’s office, when Trump closed the deal with Bogatin, whether he knew it or not, he had just helped launder money for the Russian Mafia.


And so began a 35-year relationship between Trump and Russian organized crime. Mind you, this was a period during which the disintegration of the Soviet Union had opened a fire-hose-like torrent of hundreds of billions of dollars in flight capital from oligarchs, wealthy apparatchiks and mobsters in Russia and its satellites. And who better to launder so much money for the Russians than Trump — selling them multimillion-dollar condos at top dollar, with little or no apparent scrutiny of who was buying them.




The Trump Organization has dismissed money laundering charges as unsubstantiated, and because it is so difficult to penetrate the shell companies that purchased these condos, it is almost impossible for reporters — or, for that matter, anyone without subpoena power — to determine how much money laundering by Russians went through Trump-branded properties. But Anders Aslund, a Swedish economist, put it this way to me: “Early on, Trump came to the conclusion that it is better to do business with crooks than with honest people. Crooks have two big advantages. First, they’re prepared to pay more money than honest people. And second, they will always lose if you sue them because they are known to be crooks.”

Trump is a brilliant business man. He knew that if Russians were laundering their money they would be willing to pay far more than market rate for apartments in Trump Towers than the typical buyer using legitimately earned money, since other locations in that area wouldn't allow them to spend their laundered money. He also knew that he wouldn't be caught. It's very doubtful Forbes calculates properties at the amount Trump will sell them for after factoring in his slick negotiating and deal making.

Money laundering more prevalent in real estate than anywhere else

A story today released from the miami herald about how money laundering in real estate is now more common than anywhere else. These wannabes are playing catchup with Trump who has known about it for decades.

Liberal sites are so slimy when it comes to President Trump. To explain let's go back to Biden's terrible withdrawal from Afghanistan. He made it look like our side was defeated and running for its life.

Trump would have defeated the Taliban and then left as the victor. He was talking with the Taliban during his last days in DC and no doubt would have negotiated a surrender from them before pulling out our troops.

That said, it is so logical the Republican Party would have just now have purged its website of a report on Trump's earlier call for a troop withdrawal from Afghanistan. That Trump a year before the election called for removal of troops from Afghanistan does not explain he would have obtained a victory first. Now liberals are saying the Republican Party and Trump have reversed their positions. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Mr. Mayor, the concern of Republicans for our great friends the Africans Afghans will compel a humanitarian platform to retake the Afghan continent in 2024 with the blood of American children. Trump will ride to victory on the salvation of the African nation.
