On TPUSA's future — first address as CEO
Chief antagonist: Candace Owens ("Bride of Charlie" series). Owens's claims are her own allegations — no official finding supports or refutes them. Rebuttal documents have been offered against them (flight log, hospital photo), which Owens disputes. Cease-and-desist sent Feb 2026; no suit filed, so no court has ruled either way.
