Trump's real connection to Unabomber

The trouble with is:

1) Epstein never attended UCLA.

2) He would have been 16 years old in 1969, the year Kaczynski left UC Berkeley (he never taught at UCLA).

So, no, it’s not possible.

But it's entirely possible that if Epstein told stories about the Unabomber to others, he told the same stories to Donald Trump. And Trump, ever eager to hitch his wagon, retold them, substituting his uncle as the source.

Fair enough. It’s not as if either Trump or Epstein are known far and wide for their truthfulness.

They must give the Nobel Prize to Letitia James or Gavin Newsom or someone else whom Trump fears and then he'll finally get that fatal stroke.

Trump told Norwegian minister he wants Nobel Prize

"Out of the blue, while Finance Minister Jens Stoltenberg was walking down the street in Oslo, Donald Trump called," Dagens Naeringsliv reported, citing unnamed sources.

"He wanted the Nobel Prize - and to discuss tariffs."

In a comment to Reuters, Stoltenberg said the call was to discuss tariffs and economic cooperation ahead of Trump's call with Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Stoere. "I will not go into further detail about the content of the conversation," he added.

The Norwegian newspaper said it was not the first time Trump had brought up the prize in conversation with Stoltenberg, a former secretary general of the NATO military alliance.

It’s kind of weird that he’s pressuring people NOT on the Committee to award him the Prize. Perhaps he thinks bullying by proxy will work. I have some (admittedly sparse) experience with Norwegians - they don’t give the impression of being bullyable.

Trump Says Smithsonian Focuses Too Much on ‘How Bad Slavery Was’

“The Smithsonian is OUT OF CONTROL, where everything discussed is how horrible our Country is, how bad Slavery was, and how unaccomplished the downtrodden have been — Nothing about Success, nothing about Brightness, nothing about the Future,” Mr. Trump said in a social media post. “This Country cannot be WOKE, because WOKE IS BROKE. We have the ‘HOTTEST’ Country in the World, and we want people to talk about it, including in our Museums.”

Mr. Trump made the comments a week after the White House told the Smithsonian that its museums would be required to adjust any content that the administration finds problematic in “tone, historical framing and alignment with American ideals” within 120 days. Taken together, the administration’s examination and Mr. Trump’s post on Tuesday were the latest example of Mr. Trump trying to impose his will on a cultural institution and minimize the experiences and history of Black people in the United States.

“It’s the epitome of dumbness to criticize the Smithsonian for dealing with the reality of slavery in America,” said Douglas Brinkley, a presidential historian. “It’s what led to our Civil War and is a defining aspect of our national history. And the Smithsonian deals in a robust way with what slavery was, but it also deals with human rights and civil rights in equal abundance.”
