Ugh......this is so fake and all it hopeless if anyone is gullible enough to believe it. 1) Anyone in the hotel business knows the horrific cost of emergency plumbing repairs owing to guests trying to flush foreign objects down the drain. It does not work and Trump is the last person on earth to suggest such a thing 2) How convenient that the 1 out of 20 pieces comprising a page turns up on top....with the signature side showing. The chances of that happening are nil. 3) This is a commentary only on the abject failure by the Left to generate yet another "scandal". Trump has been investigated more than any person on this earth and nothing has been found, including this laughable effort.

Nil? if there were 20 slips of paper, the odds of a pice containing his signatire is at least 1 in 20. If it only on 1, that piece could land signature up or signature side down. So the odds of a signature side up being on the top would be at least 1 in 40. The only matter of fact is that 1/40 > nil.

I'm game....what if the missing 18 pieces were randomly disposed away during previous flushing efforts (as is likely if we are forced to make this leap of faith). Try it for 5 flush efforts and report back (my calculator displays zed)

Aha! What if....? The odds of 50 consecutive heads from tossing a fair coin are incredibly small, but still greater than 0. Depends on how many significant digits you allow. But in fact, even Maggie H. doubts the authenticity of the photo; it's just too good to be true.

Another one that does not know basic plumbing....The ample orifice at the opening of the bowl is twice as big as the 3" pipe residing downstream to carry the emulsified load through a "trap". That is where the stoppage occurs, and not in the bowl.

11 hours?? Trump survived 11 years of scrutiny. Everyone of his tax returns has been audited by zealous Lefty NYC bureaucrats. And then there was the Pissgate Investigation by a special prosecutor who wasted a year and $100 million trying to find Anything at all.

To the contrary - Trump (and Musk and many others) are proud examples of American exceptionalism. They are first or second generation people who started from the ground up and change the nature of our world. Naturally, those pushing the Marxist agenda that relies on creating a culture of upheaval, victim hood, and relativism take umbrage with this. The back stabbing is expected and even anticipated. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5VEjF1uhYo

Have you ever read any of the biographies? When Trump went to Wharton he spent his spare time renovating brownstones in the inner city instead of partying. When Trump graduated, his father loaned him $200k to start investing in NYC at the time it was bankrupt and Ford said Drop Dead. Trump rebuilt the decrepit water front on the west side, the Grand Hyatt from a midtown crack hotel, and of course Trump Tower. Of his hundreds of ventures only several were unprofitable. But nice try!

It would be interesting to see what are in the Nixon archives

Diane, you are too good a research writer to have put your name to a gossip article like this.

It is. You could not make it up

Just curious how do former President’s have material for their libraries?

They must have material that violates the act!

Interesting point and I assume that they negotiate this with the National Archives through proper legal channels. But maybe some haven't!!

Photocopies? Duplicates? Personal stuff. Probably nothing classified in any case.

Doesn’t that put Hilary Clinton’s private email server in the same sneaky category?

Expand full comment

Yes

As do the private servers of the entire Trump clan when he became president...

I was thinking in terms of disqualification for running for President in 2024. Should eliminate both Trump and Clinton.

He has already raised a record amount of cash from this and probably another 6 pts to his lead; another couple dozen seats in the house and senate. Also none of his supporters have called for violence, something that only the Left relishes

"None of his supporters have called for violence." Not sure what alternate universe you live in, but they were the most armed and aggressive element in American society today.

Expand full comment

Indeed we are, alas its likely that none of principal aggressor demographics voted for Trump. Antifa has been openly rioting for 5 years with armed insurrections and young black males in Democrat strongholds comprise 3% of the population and commit half the murders, typically with illegally obtained pistols - (why havent made the effort to prevent this urban genocide with Stop and Frisk laws, etc).

Thanks Diane. Please stick to the debate. I ask why down the toilet? Seems crude and ineffective. Are there not shredders in the White House?
