    So, I heard the story that he’d buried his first wife, Ivana, in a pauper’s grave in order to get a tax break on a gold course.

    I actually bothered to look and see if it was real, because it seemed like the kind of sick joke the interwebs love.

    He buried her in a hole in the ground like a dog. No crypt, just dirt.

      You are saying that as if “burrying someone in dirt” somehow is a weird / unusual thing to do. Plenty to dislike about him without manufactured outrage.

          I don’t need to, I know how her grave looks now. And it doesn’t look like that picture.

            And there’s some reason you didn’t post the pictures of the well kempt site?

                lol! It says in the picture ‘new.’

                Almost as if there was a change.

                Thanks for proving my point.

                  I mean, okay? They always said the previous gravestone was temporary. But if you want to be outraged, have fun being outraged.

                    That’s the thing about Trump. He’s been a steaming pile of human garbage for decades. I’m a native New Yorker and got to witness his venality in local media pretty much my entire life. This wasn’t even the worst thing he did to Ivana, who back in the day was the star of the show. If I want to be outraged I could think about the Haitian immigrants, or Project 2025, or anything else from the current new cycle.

                    If I want to go back I could talk about his calls for the lynching of the Central Park 5, or the time he used Polish immigrants as slave labor to build Trump Tower.

                    The point of my original post was that Trump was such a dumpster fire that any new story was far more likely to be true than it was to be made up, because Donnie always manages to exceed our lowest opinions.

                    You wanted to stare at the mote [the grave] and ignore the timber [his ongoing calls for a treasonous coup]
