“I need to … make you proud. You have the absolute right to cuss me out … because no one knows or cares about me more. … To modify a classic, ‘I could not have parted with you, to anyone less worthy’—and, I will add, it is I who is unworthy.”
— Natalie Harp, undated letter to Donald J. Trump
The man behind the Greenland land-grab and the push for Ukraine’s minerals—instead of its victory—was all over the files, too.
It was his family that once seated Trump next to Soviet Ambassador Dubinin at a gala dinner—after which Dubinin took him by the arm and whisked him away to Moscow, accompanied by KGB officers, to show him the Kremlin spires.
Meet Ronald S. Lauder. The billionaire heir to the Estée Lauder fortune, a major GOP donor and a very long-time, close friend of Trump who, by a strange coincidence, is also neck-deep in Russian ties.
And the high-profit beauty shops right by the Kremlin, mobbed by desperate Soviet crowds—I guess those were probably just trinkets.
The 2016 secret server pinging between the Trump Org and Alfa Bank was hardly a glitch. Lauder, a close friend to both Trump and the Alfa oligarchs, has been the strategic bridge between them for decades.
And here’s a 'charming' little vignette, a minor trifle:
When Epstein was arrested in 2019, authorities found a fake Austrian passport in his safe with his photo but a different name. Since Lauder served as U.S. Ambassador to Austria in 1987—the very year the passport was issued—it's not hard to guess who might have helped him get it.
During his time as ambassador, Vienna was the ultimate spy hub—a playground where Soviet intelligence and shady business deals were one and the same.
Today, this old man has secured a lucrative concession for lithium mining in Ukraine. But back in the nineties, his partner in Ukraine was just an actual criminal and KGB informant, Vadim Rabinovich—who would later become a clownish pro-Russian politician. For some reason, the Russians have a real soft spot for clowns in politics.
However, from a mere KGB informant code-named 'Acorn,' Lauder would soon rise to the office of the most famous and sinister KGB man in the world.
Lauder met with Putin multiple times, including in 2003, 2016, and 2019.
Following a 2016 meeting, Lauder praised Putin as a “true patriot” and a “true leader” who was working to restore Russia's status as a global power.
Mind you, this was already after the annexation of Crimea, the hybrid war in Donbas, and the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17.
Lauder was a top-tier donor who basically 'purchased' Trump’s street cred with the Jewish lobby and the Republican establishment. He’s one of the main culprits behind the mess we’re in today. And that whole plan to snatch Greenland? That was his, too. Looks like the guy has developed a late-life obsession with soil and subsoil.
Epstein wasn't just his friend; he was Lauder’s 'fixer' for delicate family matters, including handling complex inheritance disputes. Even as the scandals broke, Lauder remained loyal, keeping Epstein at his table until the very end.
Lauder co-founded the “Mega Group,” a closed group of 20 billionaires—a kind of 'shadow cabinet' for resolving global political and financial issues outside of official structures. Epstein was the group's “strategic advisor” and inner-circle fixer.
Canada already has the highest beer taxes in the G7, yet Ottawa keeps increasing them automatically year after year. Canadians are paying more, and jobs across the beer industry and its supply chain are on the line.

@StephanieKusie@PierrePoilievre Give me a break. Perhaps you should be accountable for your own party and figure out how you blew such a lead .... hint it's because of PP.
🚨EXCLUSIVE: Rep. Mark Pocan just blew the lid off a MAGA cover-up: FOUR Republican Senators switched their votes to confirm Trump’s cabinet after their families got death threats from MAGA lunatics. That’s not democracy. It’s terrorism - and it’s infecting the GOP from inside.
