Previous Mint Press articles I have taken extracts from, revealed the link between Les Wexner (who co-founded MEGA with Ronald Lauder) and Mr Lauder’s close friendship, since they were at Wharton College together, with Donald Trump.
Ronald Lauder
Birthday: February 26, 1944
Born In: New York City
Ronald Lauder is an American businessman, art collector and philanthropist who opened the art museum Neue Galerie in New York. A prominent businessman in his own right, he is the son of Estee Lauder and Joseph Lauder, founders of Estee Lauder Companies. Not surprising, he developed an early interest in business affairs and went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in International Business from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. He furthered his education from the University of Paris and the University of Brussels before embarking on a successful professional career. He started working at his family business, the Estee Lauder Company, and soon learned the essentials of operating a thriving business. Along with being a businessman, he is also a political activist who was chosen by President Ronald Reagan to be the US ambassador to Austria. A staunch Republican, he once ran unsuccessfully for the position of the mayor of New York City. He also gained a reputation as an esteemed art collector and opened the Neue Galerie in New York, an art museum dedicated to art from Germany and Austria from the early 20th century. In recognition of his strong Jewish beliefs, he was elected the president of the World Jewish Congress in June 2007.

And
Mr. Lauder was appointed United States Ambassador to Austria by President Ronald Reagan in 1986. He brought to this position an extensive knowledge of European history; fluency in European languages; and solid experience gained from his Pentagon position in the early 80’s as Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for European and NATO policy. In his capacity as Ambassador to Austria, Mr. Lauder built strong diplomatic bonds between the two nations while personally repudiating Austrian President Kurt Waldheim’s Nazi past.
During his diplomatic posting, Mr. Lauder’s confrontation with anti-Semitism led to an exploration of his own Judeo-Hungarian roots. In the process he discovered that Jews were still living not only in Hungary, but throughout the Central and Eastern European region. Contrary to the then prevailing opinion, Mr. Lauder was confident that these Jews, devastated by the Holocaust and stifled by decades of Communism, would gladly embrace their faith and heritage if only they were given the means to do so. Mr. Lauder felt certain that the once proud Jewish communities that had formerly thrived in this region could flourish again. He resolved to help.
Recognizing the urgency of his mission and the magnitude of the need, Mr. Lauder immediately established his foundation with Jewish education at its core when he returned to New York in 1987.

He put the idea of the US taking over Greenland in President Trump’s mind.

Strange that Jeffery Epstein had an Austrian passport in his possession with a fake name:
Epstein used Austrian passport with fake name in the 1980s: Prosecutors

Prosecutors revealed Thursday that accused child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein had an Austrian passport with a fake name that he’d used “to enter France, Spain, the United Kingdom, and Saudi Arabia in the 1980s.”
That raised concerns about whether Epstein has foreign citizenship and slapped down claims from Epstein’s attorneys that the passport, which has a false name, had never been used. Epstein was denied bail by a federal judge Thursday. He has pleaded not guilty to charges of sex trafficking and cons
