Ok, everyone wants to know about David Rem, billed for tonight's Trump MSG rally as "his childhood friend."

Don't say I don't do anything for you guys.

Here is Rem being interviewed by David Zere in May about how he went to Trump's school 17 years after Trump, and how after his father died, Fred Trump visited his mother to say he would pay for his tuition.🧵 you can view this at the link above)

Rem attempted to run for Congress in AOC's district this year, the 14th CD in The Bronx, but didn't collect enough signatures. He is a regular at events, heckling pols about migrants, often with his friend Jonathan Rinaldi, the Sperminator former Queens City Council candidate guy with all the sperm donation offspring.

Rem is a full-time sanitation worker in the city. His father was friendly with Fred Trump (who was on the school's board) and Fred Trump paid for all of the Rem kids to stay in private school, someone who knows him well told me.

Donald Trump signed Rem's yearbook at that recent Kristi Noem swaying to music PA rally after spotting Rem in the crowd. Rem says his mother's dying wish was to shake Trump's hand. She is deceased so Trump shook his hand. I was told Rem is very nervous about tonight.
And yes, Rem looks like the same David Rem who was arrested in 1992 after leaving his suitcase with 18 kilograms of cocaine on a train from LA to Chicago, per someone who knows him well and records.

"In 1991, David Rem pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute cocaine in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a) (1). He was sentenced to 151 months in prison to be followed by five years of supervised release." He testified that he was working as a courier.

His friend says Rem is a good guy and "reformed."
