Billionaire Umar Kremlev, a close ally of Putin, was one of the 50 attendees at the multi-day, lavish wedding, which included only family and friends. Bettina Trump, Don Jr’s latest wife, defended Kremlev’s inclusion and gift in a post, writing, “Friendship doesn’t require a political motive. Generosity doesn’t automatically come with an agenda. And sometimes a wedding gift is simply a wedding gift.”
Sure, Jan.
Kremlev has been accused of trying to influence American elections, went to China with Putin, and is sanctioned by Ukraine for his role in abducting children.
With friends like these, am I right?
If you’re keeping score, the Trump family loves Putin, MBS of Saudi Arabia, techno-fascist billionaires, and North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. They loathe Americans who come from “shithole countries,” the rule of law, allies such as Canada, and NATO. Somehow, they’ve made more than $2 billion in Crypto through World Liberty Financial. Another person who has made an obscene amount of money, doubling their worth to $7 billion, is Trump’s Secretary of Commerce, Howard Lutnick, thanks to his investment in Tether, the largest issuer of stablecoins.
All of the world’s worst people are raking in record profits through crypto, AI, and insider trading as Americans struggle to pay for gas and buy groceries.
It’s all a giant Ponzi scheme set up to benefit the Trump family. We’ve entered into the Age of American kleptocracy with a heaping dose of white nationalism and idiocy. Meanwhile, the same companies that line Trump’s pockets also donate generously to Democrats, who are more comfortable meeting Jared Kushner than being seen with Zohran Mamdani.
I invited the one Trump family member whose wedding hasn’t been subsidized with illicit money to join The Left Hook.
