Showing Original Post only (View all)Krasnov Tries To Steal A Dwight Eisenhower Sword From Ike's Presidential Library [View all]
Krasnov wanted the sword to gift to King Charles. The head of the Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library told Krasnov he was not authorized to give away a gifted sword.
The head of the library tried to find a replica sword for Krasnov but Krasnov was upset so he told the head of the library to quit or be fired.
The head of the library quit even though Krasnov had no authority to fire him.
In the end, Krasnov gave King Charles a replica sword.

The head of the library should not have resigned, people need to stop giving in to Trump's insane demands.

'Cause a guy who runs around in uniforms, and facing his last days really, really needs another sword.

If Krasnov doesn't get his way immediately, he throws a tantrum like a 2-year-old.

That was more about a propaganda war between "godless communism" vs. capitalism than promoting rightwing christianity.

Steal? Do you think presidents take things they own personally to give, as a diplomatic gift, to foreign dignitaries?

Do you really not understand that the gift is from the American people to the British people?

Odds are, Krasnov would've pocketed the original and gifted Charles a FAKE anyway.
