Uncle Remus Trump

Judy Wallman Trump, a professional genealogy 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 this response back.

*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, in politics!
