Soap Star Nancy Lee Grahn Floats Conspiracy Trump Stashed Important Documents In Late Wife's Grave
Twitter is well-known for hosting some of the wildest conspiracies about American politics on the internet, and a recent, A1 theory from soap opera star Nancy Lee Grahn has the site buzzing this afternoon.
This morning, Grahn, best known for her roles in daytime soap operas Santa Barbara and General Hospital, used her 37 years of expertise on outlandish plots to float the conspiracy theory that Donald Trump, currently embroiled in a scandal that caused the FBI to raid his Mar-a-Lago home in search of missing Presidential records, had perhaps buried important classified documents in the grave of his late wife, Ivana Trump (who died on July 14th at the age of 73).
Dear @FBI, I know u don't need advice from a soap star, but having been in 10 or 10k implausible storylines in my 37 yrs, may I recommend digging up Ivana. Cleary it didn't take 10 pall bearers to carry a liposuctioned 73 yr old who methinks was in her weight in classified docs.

While Grahn's tweet was possibly tongue-in-cheek and not a serious suggestion to the FBI, there were apparently enough bizarre circumstances around Ivana's grave that helped Grahn's outlandish conspiracy spread widely on Twitter.
Many found it odd that Donald Trump and his children elected to bury Ivana, the mother of Trump children Donald Jr., Ivanka and Eric, in one of his golf courses located in Bedminster, New Jersey.
Ivana's resting place, located near the clubhouse of Trump National Golf Club and a short walk away from the first tee, had been discovered in late July and was mocked both for its barebones presentation and location. Some noted the plaque merely featured her name and date of birth with no epitaph.
Beautiful final resting place for your mom, @DonaldJTrumpJr. I especially love the inscription on her gravestone. Truly heartwarming. RIP Ivana. pic.twitter.com/fzsGCcgPF1

Some also suggested Trump chose that location not because he considers it his favorite property as he'd publically stated, but because the state of New Jersey makes any land deemed a gravesite exempt from taxes.
As a tax researcher, I was skeptical of rumors Trump buried his ex-wife in that sad little plot of dirt on his Bedminster, NJ golf course just for tax breaks.
So I checked the NJ tax code & folks…it's a trifecta of tax avoidance. Property, income & sales tax, all eliminated. pic.twitter.com/VDZBlDyuhQ— Brooke Harrington (@EBHarrington) July 31, 2022
In her now-viral tweet, Grahn noted it seemed odd that Ivana's casket required 10 pallbearers, given that Ivana was reportedly cremated. She floated the possibility that perhaps the casket wasn't a 10-man job because of Ivana's ashes, but because it contained important documents relevant to national security that Trump didn't want to be discovered by the FBI.
Granted, Grahn's theory is highly implausible and few took it seriously. Those who did, however, seemed to come from the right and used it to decry so-called BlueAnon tweeters. To some, the Trump family's previous handling of allegations in the past was enough to make Grahn's conspiracy seem just crazy enough to at least be funny.
Hi Nancy, FBI agent here! We actually already dug up Ivana but all we found in her casket was treasure (doubloons etc.) Great idea though! https://t.co/RCSaQ5H3lh

While we in all likelihood won't see the FBI exhume Ivana Trump's grave and discover crucial lost documents (or perhaps even The Pee Tape), one must admit Grahn's conspiracy theory would make for one of the best the soap opera plot twists of all time.
