BREAKING - Trump moved docs from Mar-a-Lago to Bedminster in 2022, according to another Trump employee who confirms what has long been reported - including this video from spring 2022:

The savvy among you know perfectly well this blog title isn't about how the classy ladies of Mar-a-Lago are wearing their cleavage this year but is actually a term of art. The above reference in the embedded Tweet to Bedminster reminds of that quintessentially New Jersey show--The Sopranos.
There's a great episode that lets us know what Tony Soprano's business is--Bust Out. Davey Scatino, a gambler, thinks he understands who Tony Soprano is and what his business is. He thinks they are friends. But his business is ruined because he's in debt to Tony. Why? Business, and respect. Tony is a mob boss. His business is getting paid back in full. Friendship doesn't get in the way of that.
When Trump was betrayed by the American people by their not re-electing him, he took a few things from the White House. (He would have taken things anyway. He takes. He's funny that way.) For all I or you know or The Mahoff of Jabib knows, he still has documents at Bedminster, where one of his Mar-A-Lago employees has broken omerta and told us he knows some of these boxes of documents went there. A lot of water has run under the bridge since then. It would be great if it could be confirmed there is still something there. (I'm guessing a legal pretext for a warrant needs something more substantial than "COOMMMME OOOONNNNNN!")
I just think maybe it's time to see a case opened up in New Jersey. "Loose" Cannon seems to be okay with giving Trump infinite delays. And I am definitely not.
Anyway, TrumpWorld has officially taken control of the RNC, and changes are being made--big changes. There will be dozens of staffers let go, and believe me, any replacements will be Trump loyalists. You can already foresee what the fundraising goals will look like. And where the money will go. How assets will be used. How "help" will be steered to the Trumpiest candidates for down ticket offices, if at all, and might even be withheld for candidates that just aren't Trumpy enough. All with the strategic know-how of people named Trump or Yunaska or behind the scenes ass-wipers from the set of Celebrity Apprentice.
I'm sure people in the party feel strongly that Trump is their friend, though, and he definitely won't dick them over. After all, it's not like he's some reality show tough guy advertising his endorsements by Sammy "The Bull" Gravano and Skinny Joey Merlino or anything.
(It's not like we don't already know he slavers after being a dictator.)
And I'm sure it's not a big worry to big Republican donors that the man who bankrupted casinos and doesn't seem to understand what the term "whale" means is getting control of the RNC exactly when he's at a definitely "go to the mattresses " moment in his life.
Oh wait. I meant that's not a big worry to me. They could worry, though. They could worry about additional civil suits (he won't stop defaming Ms. Carroll) and maybe they haven't noticed, but he might still be criming regarding his business dealings. I would not assume the RNC take-over is without a bezzle.
So here's what I know. The great actor, Robert DeNiro, recently said he could never play Donald Trump because the man didn't have anything redeemable in him. I think in terms of literature, myself--what would Shakespeare make of someone like Trump? He's not a Falstaff. He's not even a Richard the III. If you look at the childhood pictures of Trump, frankly, he was an adorable kid born with a silver spoon in his mouth, not wanting for a thing. And then he grew up and became a motherfucker. Mary Trump suggests his dad made him that way--a guy who had to "get over". A taker, a "killer". It makes some sense and also doesn't.
You could imagine a different or better Trump if things went different. But still and all, people haven't yet figured out how to deal with the Trump they've actually got. The one who will screw you over for a slight advantage.
They will see.
The tragedy isn't his--it's ours.
