Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Friday, August 22, 2025

Tiffany Trumpf's husband, Michael Boulos, arranged for oligarch Jared Kushner to buy a mega yacht at a steeply inflated price. Michael Boulos, and his cousin Jimmy Frangi pushed the scion into what was supposed to be a golden investment. The pitch was simple: buy a yacht, fix it up, sell it or rent it out, and make millions. But the deal was stuffed with hidden tricks. By June 2021, Boulos was sending Kushner presentations to buy an unfinished yacht called the Solstice, being built in Greece. Frangi's firm told Kushner the price was 12.5 million, about $15 million, with a $1 million commission built in. What Kushner didn't know was that the firm was actually paying millions less, then pocketing the difference. According to text messages later revealed, the firm secretly raked in $3.5 million instead of the $1 million Kushner had agreed to. Archived link: Schmuck Ripped Off.

The firm admitted in texts they kept the plonka in the dark. One executive warned that it would be "difficult to hide" the yacht's real value and stressed Kushner not hire an independent appraiser. The sale closed in early 2022. Frangi reportedly made $400,000 in commission plus several hundred thousand in extra fees. Boulos took home $300,000. Kushner, the supposed master of Middle East dealmaking, ended up overpaying for a yacht that still sits unfinished in Greece. There is no honor amongst thieves. The Trumpf Crime Family (TCF) and their satellites are nefarious modern versions of Falstaff, Ancient Pistol, and Corporal Nym, except with billions of dollars of pelf to purloin. Sidenote about Greece: The US Senate is about to confirm Kimberly Guilfoyle as US Ambassador to Greece. This rank opportunist graduated an unrenowned law school, worked as a Fox TV host, married Gavin Newsom, and was the fiancee of Donald Trump Jr. Some say Dummkopf Trumpf gave Guilfoyle this cozy sinecure as a means of hushing her up in exile with a prestigious ambassadorship.

Sorry but mega yachts cost hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars, not a paltry $15 million.

Some, such as Zuckerberg's, cost hundreds of millions but some cost far less than that. This particular yacht wasn't in that high-end category and is unfinished so even more investment than the $15M is needed to make it ready to sail. If you read the article you learn that they falsely inflated the value which is something you'd think Kushner would know something since both his father and father-in-law are notorious for doing the same.

#3 and 4: So, the in-laws ripped off the schmendrik over a couple of pfennigs. Trumpf family reunions must be delightful experiences. I hope they have a party on a yacht soon: media.king5.com
