Is this a trend? Just recently, Donald Trump Jr.’s wife was sent a threatening letter with a white substance in it.
Vanessa Trump was immediately taken to the hospital after she opened the letter. The letter read: ‘You’re an awful person and now you get what you deserve.’ The substance turned out to be corn starch.
