Trump
Judy Wallman Trump, a professional genealogical researcher in southern California, was doing some personal work on her own family tree. She discovered that President Donald Trump's great-great-uncle, Remus Trump, was hanged for horse stealing and train robbery in Montana in 1889. Both Judy and President Trump share this common ancestor.
The only known photograph of Remus shows him standing on the gallows in Montana territory. On the back of the picture Judy obtained during her research is this inscription: “Remus Trump, horse thief, sent to Montana Territorial Prison 1885, escaped 1887, robbed the Montana Flyer six times. Caught by Pinkerton detectives, convicted and hanged in 1889.”
So Judy recently e-mailed the President for information about their great-great-uncle, Remus.Believe it or not, President Trump's staff sent back the following biographical sketch for her genealogy research:
“Remus Trump was a famous cowboy in the Montana Territory. His business empire grew to include acquisition of valuable equestrian assets and intimate dealings with the Montana railroad. Beginning in 1883, he devoted several years of his life to government service, finally taking leave to resume his dealings with the railroad. In 1887, he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the renowned Pinkerton Detective Agency. In 1889, Remus passed away during an important civic function held in his honor when the platform upon which he was standing collapsed.”
Now THAT is how it's done, Folks! That's "TRUE POLITICAL SPIN"!
