Correct me if I am wrong, but didn’t another group of people once steal a lot of Jewish treasures last century? I don’t remember who it was but I seem to recall it was a big deal . . .
Hobby Lobby?
the Swiss ?
Nice guess, but it was the Palestinians /s
I don’t remember the details but I remember the story arc. It didn’t turn out well for them.

“the artifacts wound up being stored at Mar-a-Lago, and it remains unclear whether the former president is aware of this.”
Dude lost track of all the shit he plundered.
I just don’t see how those would have ended up at Mar-a-Lago without direction from at least someone in the family, if not Trump himself. Like… Why? How? Who would care enough, besides a Trump?
Everyone under him is a crook, I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a ton of theft that he didn’t directly control.
Oh for sure! That theft probably didn’t end up at Mar-a-Lago, though. To end up in his home… I feel like he or someone close to him has to have been involved.
“They’re mine. They were given to me personally by someone really, really great, so they’re mine, and I get to keep them.” - Trump probably
Totally tracks. He probably does think they were given to him personally.
He also thinks that the classified documents were his personal property since someone handed him a copy when he was President.
I guess we’re just lucky that he’s not trying to claim the White House as his because Obama turned the keys over to him in 2017.
Of course he did. Woody Allen used to joke that Nixon stole the silver from the White House when he left, and Trump actually did worse.
Can’t help but think of children that just take shit from wherever they are cause they can. A national embarrassment.
Anyone else remember the pictures of his family carrying a bust of Abraham Lincoln, several paintings, and other artwork out of the Whitehouse only hours before they had to be out?
I remember seeing that and wondering why they were carrying all that stuff out.
C’mon now people, I’m sure there’s a perfectly reasonable deflection for this.
they were just there for safe keeping - or whatever argument the Brits use when they looted the subject nations in their empire.
I kind of recall TFG taking antiquities and artwork when he was at an embassy in, I think it was France? It was super embarrassing for America but nothing ever came of it. I think he was there for a WWII memorial and didn’t bother to even go, too busy swiping valuables. I kind of remember that they were replicas of American iconic artifacts.
