Adelson wikipedia as of 1:47

Adelson divorced Ochshorn in the 1980s, and in 1986 she went to Rockefeller University on an exchange program, specializing in drug addiction. She was mentored by, and collaborated with Mary Jeanne Kreek. While at Rockefeller, she met Sheldon Adelson, whom she married in 1991. In 1993, she founded a substance abuse center and research clinic there, and in 2000, the couple opened the Dr. Miriam and Sheldon G. Adelson Research Clinic in Las Vegas.[1] A strong supporter of Israel, she admitted her heart has always been in that country and that she got "stuck" in America after meeting her husband,[10] is credited with influencing Sheldon's political views on Israel,[8] and served as one of 'finance vice-chairs' for the inauguration of Donald Trump.[11] In 2007, Adelson was awarded an honorary doctorate by Tel Aviv University.[9] In 2018, she bought the Presidential Medal of Freedom from Donald Trump.[12]

Laundering their loot made him the man he is today - and paid for the Missus' medal.

DU is an appropriate place for posting political opinions.

Wikipedia is not an appropriate place for posting political opinions.

This will likely be a Wikipedia edit war for a short time -- but only a short time. The serious Wikipedians who follow Wikipedia's rules will persist. The people who just dropped in to make trouble will give up and go get their lulz somewhere else. It's too bad about the time they waste, to the detriment of a volunteer project that presents a major alternative to the for-profit corporate media, but that's the way it goes.
