lol of course he fucking would. The dudes all about getting that clout with his buddies he invites over.
IKR. It's incorrigible, but it's 100% on-brand. Ask anyone, "do you think Trump would steal ancient israeli artifacts from the whitehouse?". Absolutely yes, that is exactly what Trump would do given the opportunity.
That said, I don't feel very sorry for the Israeli's, they were just trying to suck up, Trump reciprocated with some incendiary statements in support of Israel IIRC, so it just sucks to be them really.
Someone should just start putting out fake Trump articles with super-weird headlines and no-one would notice - anything is plausible with this guy.
Challenge: 50% of these headlines are real, can you spot which ones?
1, 2, 4, 8, and 9.
3, 6, and 7 require too much physical ability to be true. 5 and 10 are both plausible, but I doubt they’d be a headline.
Congratulations, here’s your lemmy lemon! 🍋
Finally, a prize I can use!!
I’m just glad I didn’t win a lemon party.
🍋 🎉 💦 😩 🥵
🤔 I want to make lemon bars out of that
Winner! Well done. You win a Trump Prize Pack containing a signed MAGA hat, a pack of Trump NFT cards, a genuine Trump tupee with pre-combed slick back and sides, a framed copy of his love letter to Kim Jong Un the North Korean dictator, and a McDonalds voucher for a years supply of cheese burgers. Look for it in the mail.
I assume “trump’s nft cards pack” is just a pack of low-quality printed cards that simply say “nft” somewhere on them? :)
Um, th-thanks, I guess..?
The love letter would be interesting to see, as would the nft cards, but maybe I can auction the rest. Lol

That's exactly what we need, more fake news.
1, 3, 4, 8 and 9?
Close, but still good enough for second prize. Good effort.
You win a life-sized cardboard cutout of Donald Trump with touch activated audio loops of all his most memorable Presidential quotes, such as: “And yet I’ve gone decades, decades without a war. The first president to do it for that long a period.”, and “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn’t lose any voters, OK? It’s, like, incredible.” and “Despite the constant negative press covfefe”. Look for it in the mail.
He stole a bunch of stuff from the house he stayed at when he was in France.
Trump is literally a 77 year old child and conservatives want this guy to be president. Holy hell, no one can be a Trump supporter and criticize any other president.
Of course he did. The dude is a typical piece of shit criminal. He will do any crime he thinks he can get away with without a second thought because only cares about himself and literally nothing else.
So far he has gotten away with all of the crimes, so it's really working for him.
Let's hope the tide is changing on that, but I'm not holding my breath.
Here's a headline:
"Cheeto guy commits felony, others suffer as a result."
Now that's a headline no one expects!
/s
actual batman villain
The writing for Batman villains isn't this shallow, tbh.
The Joker: "I may be a literal deranged clown with an obsession for a guy in a bat suit, but even I'm not as cartoonish as this Trump guy."
Reminds me of the time a version of him refused to work with and tried to kill a version of Red Skull when he found out the dude was an actual Nazi rather than just cosplaying one. "I may be a criminal lunatic, but I am an American criminal lunatic". Which is an interesting take, dude's a sometimes omnicidal maniac who has on multiple occasions tried to destroy all of reality, but at least he's equal opportunity about it and it isn't for racist reasons.
Even the Joker knows racism isn't funny
Nah... most of batman's villains have PhDs. Trump is like if a saturday cartoon villain had an unfortunate accident with an ice pick and lost 100 iq pts.
He's a Captain Planet villain.
The Hamburglar?
Do we know what the artifacts were?
Yes, the article says they were ancient clay lamps.
maybe he was trying to make a wish, Aladin style
ow that paywall
I gotcha,..
ISRAEL LENT SEVERAL antiquities to the White House in 2019, including ancient clay lamps for a White House Hanukkah event. Unfortunately, Donald Trump was president at the time, which means the artifacts are now at Mar-a-Lago, and Israel can’t figure out how to get them back, Haaretz reported on Tuesday.
The artifacts were only supposed to be in Washington, D.C., for a few weeks. Israel Hasson, then the director of the Israeli Antiquities Authority, told Haaretz that because they are so valuable, he wanted someone to pick them up instead of having them shipped overseas. The pandemic derailed these plans, and the artifacts remained in the White House. Israeli authorities learned several months ago that they wound up at Mar-a-Lago.
Eli Eskozido, who took over for Hasson at the Israeli Antiquities Authority, has solicited the help of the Israeli government and Trump’s former U.S. ambassador to the nation in his efforts to retrieve the artifacts — to no avail.
Somehow, the former president stealing ancient Israeli artifacts isn’t surprising. Trump all but ransacked the White House on his way out of office, most notably absconding with hundreds of classified documents. Trump was criminally indicted for his handling of the documents in June, and yet still thinks he’s entitled to the sensitive material. Rolling Stone reported late last month that he was demanding his lawyers figure out how to get “my documents” back after the government retrieved them, even as it became clear he would be indicted for hoarding them.
This is like a plot to a movie or something. Some cancelled Indiana Jones spin-off.
