If this Buzzfeed story has legs, then perhaps the Donald’s may get cut off.
Overlooking terrorism that killed Americans, including the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, Donald Trump sought investment partnerships with Muammar al-Qaddafi and the Libyan regime. He rented his Westchester estate to the dictator, tried to set up a face-to-face meeting, and took the Libyan ambassador golfing.
I can’t make this stuff up. Qaddafi was to be a house guest at one of Trump’s opulent estates. Or, more accurately, he would pitch his opulent tent on Trump’s opulent lawn. And sacrifice a lamb. Trump would get $200K. A bunch of Libyans had already moved in. All went well until helicopters recorded what was going on. Trump later claimed that he had no idea that this was going on, and that he threw Qaddafi out. As if all these Libyans were squatting on the Trump grounds w/o permission. Uh, read the story. You decide who is telling the truth.
More importantly, the story reports that Trump made every effort to strike various business deals with the Libyan dictator. Please. Read it. I’m gonna stand by my prediction from earlier this week. I don’t think Trump gets the nomination.
I mean, hurling derogatory terms at Mexicans, Muslims and women is one thing, after all, you still have the mouthbreathers. But having our leading America Firster chumming around with Qaddafi, that’s head-exploding stuff, even if there is next to nothing inside those heads.
