After reports of brigands in the Urals the old man set out to build a wall around his house but funds were only sufficient to cover the front. When a teacher pointed out that brigands could walk around it, the old man denounced him as a Ural-loving nihilist.—#TolstoysTalesofTrump

The master claimed that his pond held healing properties and he planned to advertise a new spa. But when”Russia World” revealed that sewage was draining into the pond the master denounced it as the Enemy of the People and canceled his subscription.—#TolstoysTalesofTrump
The LameStream Media had a very bad week. They pushed numerous phony stories and got caught, especially The Failing New York Times, which has lost more money over the last 10 years than any paper in history, and The Amazon Washington Post. They are The Enemy of the People!

His servants knew never to mention Ukraine around the old man. “They are all rogues and scoundrels,” he would say—supposedly from memories of the Crimean War—but actually because a Ukrainian had once bested him at whist.—#TolstoysTalesofTrump
....story about me and a perfectly fine and routine conversation I had with the new President of the Ukraine. Nothing was said that was in any way wrong, but Biden’s demand, on the other hand, was a complete and total disaster. The Fake News knows this but doesn’t want to report!
