When Trump placed a Mar-a-Lago friend as Ambassador to the Dominican Republic— a woman who didn’t know a lick of Spanish — I found it very odd.

Soon enough, though, it all became clear.

My family is very land-rich in DR. Last year, we decided to put up for sale the land in Bay of Maimon, over a million square meters of land.

Almost immediately, THERE WAS A BID BY THE AMERICAN EMBASSY.

Will not sell to them.
