Trump Family's European EPSTEIN ISLAND Sparks INTERNATIONAL UPROAR! - Really American



Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump are facing MASSIVE BACKLASH As Their Corrupt Attempt to take over protected Albanian land in a $1.4 billion project to build luxury resorts, resulted in mass protests, corruption allegations and probes, and the Albanian Prime Minister's House being set ablaze in retaliation for him changing the law to allow the Trump Family to build what many are referring to as a "European Epstein Island" - 06/02/2026.

And it certainly runs in the family, taking land from others and building expensive edifices that only the very wealthy can afford... *sigh*

This "luxury resort" would have been a complete loser anyway.

Maybe it's just a tax dodge and a place to hide stolen assets from the US.

What would be anyone's reasons for staying there? Ocean view? Illegal drugs? Children?

...at the junction of the Adriatic Sea and the Ionian Sea.

It is only 45 miles from Punta Palascìa in Italy. On exceptionally clear days, Sazan is visible from the Italian mainland.

It looks like it has beautiful weather from May to October.

On paper it looks like it is a fairly nice location with some fascinating history. For example: In 215 B.C., during the First Macedonian War, ancient Greek historian Polybius recorded a significant military encounter near the island involving the forces of Philip V of Macedon and the Roman Republic.

But it is an ill-conceived project to be sure, and a lot of Albanians and other organizations oppose it:

But I am guessing they HAVE to go to far-flung places like Albania because their brand is toxic here--and It turns out toxic most places.

But how can MAGA really justify this betrayal and not be outraged?

Yes, that was a rhetorical question.... They are only outraged by the things they are instructed to be outraged about. It's the cult way....
