China Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Trump’s business partner in Indonesia exhumed graves in West Java to build resort CILETUH HILIR, Indonesia — In the valley between two volcanoes, the soldiers fanned out around the cemetery as men with shovels moved in to dig up the dead. Village leader Djaja Mulyana had catalogued many grievances about the construction site that hemmed in his community. He’d filled binders documenting what he considered the deception, broken promises and lost livelihoods from the builders threatening to displace residents. But nothing like this: In January 2019, gravediggers came to unearth corpses where his Muslim ancestors had rested since the 19th century, said Mulyana and two others who witnessed the excavations. The remains were being moved to make room for a mega-resort that will include a Trump-branded hotel and golf course. At least one person had agreed to the exhumations, but other families had not given consent. One woman, Iyum, said the remains of her two daughters had been disinterred without her permission. “Who did they think my children were — dogs?” she said in an interview with The Washington Post. MNC Land — the subsidiary building the project, including the Trump resorts — says some residents of Ciletuh Hilir had accepted the company’s proposal to relocate their relatives’ remains “to a new cemetery location that we provide, which is more appropriate.” The company also accused those who refused of exaggerating their concerns as a negotiating tactic to extract higher prices to sell their homes and unearth their ancestors. “MNC is even willing to bear the entire grave removal costs,” the company said. The village and its cemetery is located on land slated to become the resort’s theme park. Trump’s business has sought to distance itself from the faraway feud.

Well, also in England: Quote In British slang, however, “to trump” (intransitive verb) also means to expel gas through the anus — e.g. Trumped from eating too much baked beans — often in a highly audible way (as in with trailing sound).

Larry Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Actually, I've been wondering. Is Trump actually his real name? I mean, it sounds like something he would make up. (Except probably too literate.) But I also feel like, if it wasn't his real name, I would have heard that by now. Thousands of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
