Trump Took Antiquities And Israel Wants Them




The Malignant Loser isn't just confined to making off with classified documents and storing them in his bathrooms, ballrooms and bedrooms at his Merde O'Lardo estate. He's also taken Israeli artifacts and the Israelis are having a time getting them back, according to reports:

"In 2019, Israel sent some of its national treasures for an event at the White House, on the condition that they be returned within weeks.

But almost four years later, the ancient artifacts are "stuck" at former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, with senior Israeli figures scrambling to get them back, per the Israeli newspaper Haaretz.

The artifacts include ancient ceramic candles, which were sent from Israel to the US for a Hanukkah event at the White House attended by Trump, who was then president, Haaretz said.

The candles were meant to be displayed briefly in Washington, DC, but failed to be exhibited due to an unspecified bureaucratic issue, the newspaper reported."  (our emphasis)

He apparently packed up everything that wasn't nailed down before he was booted from the White House in January, 2021 (he must have been guided in this case by the Presidential Steal The Israeli Antiquities Act). The story continues:

"Israel Hasson, who was the director of the Israeli Antiquities Authority, said they wanted one of their employees to go and pick up the items because they were too delicate to be sent by a regular courier. 

'Then COVID broke out, and everything got stuck,' he said, per Haaretz.

Officials then asked Saul Fox, a major Jewish-American donor to the Israeli Antiquities Authority, to keep hold of them for a short period until they could be returned to Israel, the newspaper said.

But somehow the antiquities ended up at Mar-a-Lago, where they remain to this day, according to Haaretz."  (our emphasis)

Who knows what property of other countries he took, since he thought he was elected emperor in 2016, and thinks that everything he sees -- classified documents, women, etc. -- belongs to him. Good luck getting the antiquities back.
