49. Trump's "Swedish" Heritage Wasn't Legend - It Was A LIE

Sun Oct 6, 2019, 08:01 AM

Oct 2019

We need to stop being defensive about this issue. It is an irrefutable fact that Trump lied to Holocaust survivors and their families for decades with no other purpose but to enrich himself. And he got $413 million from his daddy's "Swedish" empire of lies. And a Jewish tenant got him out of Vietnam - how much is that worth?

If someone brings up Warren's heritage, don't wring your hands. Republicans certainly wouldn't. Dream big, fight hard. They say "Cherokee," you say "Swedish" before they finish the last syllable.

Warren never asked for anything for her heritage, and never got anything. Trump was able to fund all of his many, many failed businesses by lying to Holocaust survivors - even in "The Art of The Deal," his personal mythology, he claims to be Swedish.
