[IsraelTimes] US President-elect Donald Trump
...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...
’s pick for Middle East adviser Massad Boulos is not the billionaire business mogul that many believed him to be, and is in fact the CEO of a small company that sells trucks and heavy machinery in Nigeria, the New York Times
...which still proudly claims Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...
reports.
Boulos, whose son is married to Trump’s daughter Tiffany, campaigned on behalf of Trump in the run-up to the elections, helping him drum up Arab American support amid the war in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
and Israel’s campaign against Hezbollah in Leb
 ...an Iranian satrapy until recently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else?

He has also previously been described as a billionaire with extensive business ties in Nigeria, and was praised by Trump for being "an accomplished lawyer and highly respected leader in the business world."
However,
death is not the end. There remains the litigation over the estate...
the Times reported, his Nigerian truck business is valued at just $865,000 at its current share price, and Boulos’s stake is worth less than $2.
The report suggests that the confusion surrounding Boulos’s business ventures stems from his failure to clarify that he has no connection to Boulos Enterprises, which the Financial Times previously said was his "namesake company."
Asked by the Times why he never corrected the record when his company was described as "multibillion-dollar," Boulos says that he was referring to his father-in-law’s companies as a whole, and Scoa Motors Nigeria — which he runs — is a subsidiary.
"I’ve never really gone into any details like that about the value," he says of the heavy machinery company. As to why he never clarified that he has no connection to Boulos Enterprises, he tells the Times that he doesn’t like to comment on his business.
