‘Womp womp’: MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow mocks Trump as forgery scandal blows up massive deal.
MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow took to her eponymous show on Monday night to poke fun at Donald Trump’s family over a project they have overseas that is now embroiled in scandal, as a key document in the deal was forged.
In opening her show, Maddow discussed large-scale protests in Serbia sparked by a deadly train station roof collapse, which exposed government corruption under the country’s authoritarian, Trump-like president.
Amid broad protests, Donald Trump Jr. made multiple trips to the country to support the embattled leader, partly due to a controversial development plan, in which Donald Trump wants to tear down a monument and build a luxury hotel and apartment tower there.
“Literally on that site,” remarked Maddow.
“Somehow, the very Trumpy, authoritarian president of that country—somehow he was able to come up with some kind of waiver, some kind of permission slip that said, actually, that site is no longer a protected national heritage site,” a dubious Maddow added.
The president said he received an opinion from an expert that authorized tearing down the memorial.
But now, the “whole mess is all now falling apart,” she said, sharing a headline that the Trump-Kushner hotel project had hit a “snag” due to alleged forgery.
“Forgery. What?” she exclaimed. “The Trump family’s $500 million luxury hotel project in Serbia—slated to be built on the site of a bombed-out defense ministry building—has run into an embarrassing complication. A key document the Serbian government has relied on to deliver this deal was forged.”
Officials said the expert opinion was fabricated to justify the government’s decision to revoke the site’s historic status, and the official involved now faces criminal charges.
“Darn that rule of law,” Maddow quipped. “If it wasn’t for the remaining rule of law… and for those meddling kids.”
Maddow noted there may never be a Trump Tower in Europe.
“Womp womp. Sad trombone,” she chided.
