The only use of the word “stollen” I could find in any language is in German. It’s a word they commonly use for tanning leather and also a kind of Christmas pastry. It’s less commonly used to refer to a tunnel or underground passageway. This latter use may be relevant to the things we’ve learned about human trafficking, but the exact meaning of President Trump’s repeated use of the word escapes me. It doesn’t seem likely that he’s just a poor speller. Someone close to him would have corrected him by now. Does he even write his own Truths?

The word covers quite a few bases, and it’s considered from Dresden. Dresden reminds me of one thing, and it’s not the china (hmmm...), it’s the WWII firestorm. One could practically write a tome on the use of that word in it’s context!

I did a little digging on German and here is what I found on some book titles.

Rigged and Stollen

Found some interesting book titles including "STOLLEN" that  Translated from German produce a bunch of interesting results.

Stollen Und Tunnelbau -> Adits and tunnel construction

  adits - a horizontal passage leading into a mine for the purposes of access or drainage.

Bunker Und Stollen in Kiel -> Bunkers and tunnels in Kiel

Im Stollen ist der Teufel los -> All hell is breaking loose in the tunnels

Unterirdisches Ãsterreich: Vergessene Stollen - Geheime Projekte -> Underground Austria: Forgotten Tunnels - Secret Projects

Don't know if "STOLLEN" in German is always Tunnel but this was a Very Interesting Dig!

Trump is way more savvy about media stuff than most folk’s can grab. Remember he ran a 14 year long TV show that was very successful. He knows how the lazyaxxdirtbagz work. If you see much MSM TV you know they harp on how bad a thing it is that he keeps talking about a “stolen” election. But to beat the coverage and make his point about the past two elections, I believe he simply mis-spells stolen to “stollen.” That’s enough to escape the word search engines that would ban a whole commentary because of use of the correct word. When others re-post his statements in twatter, fakebuck, and the rest, the mis-spelling is enough to avoid cancelling.

And I don’t dare eat much Kraut bread anyway——blows my playing weight right off the scale.
