Trump is giving Iran $25 billion to end the war to distract from his son marrying the daughter of the guy who sold Epstein his island.

Trump being an "orange gasbag" is definitely true, but I don't think his asshole son is marrying the daughter of the man who sold
Epstein his island.

"Fact Check: The claim about Bettina Anderson's father is true

It further claims that in 1999, Anderson wrote a letter of recommendation for Jeffrey Epstein to the US Virgin Islands Industrial Development Commission, helping Epstein secure tax benefits for his company linked to his properties, including Little St James.

The post also asserts that Epstein held accounts at Anderson’s bank from the early 1990s, with some testimony-based reports suggesting the bank was used in transactions connected to Epstein’s activities."

Bettina Anderson (who recently married Donald Trump Jr.) is the daughter of late Palm Beach banker Harry Loy Anderson Jr.. While her father did not sell the property, he was a long-time acquaintance of Epstein. Anderson was a Palm Beach banker who managed Epstein's accounts in the 1990s and wrote a character reference letter vouching for Epstein's integrity, which reportedly helped Epstein secure tax breaks to finance his development in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
