On February 2, 1653, New Amsterdam became a city in North America. For those who don’t know, the city was later renamed New York City.
Anyway, little known about the city’s 1653 Charter was an amendment demanding no one named Trump (or Drumpf, the ancestral German family name) could ever own land or property within city limits. Seems like the Dutch back then were really smart people.
Wait, there’s more.
In 1787, Arthur St. Clair, under the Articles of Confederation, was elected the 9th President of the Continental Congress.
Taking a lead from the Dutch, Arthur and The Continentals added a little known paragraph to the AoC which states no person or persons or organization with the name Trump or Drumpf shall be permitted to own any land nor build or lease upon such land any structure of any size, style or colour in New Amsterdam, New York City, or any boroughs that might someday become part and parcel of said places.
Damn, does the current U.S. Supreme Court know this? Does Judge Arthur Engoron? NY Attorney General Letitia James? Wondering if Allen Weisselberg knew?
And, NO, Joe Biden did not serve in the Continental Congress! (Just in case certain people on certain networks blast away blaming Biden for the outstanding piece of Continental forward thinking).
