Good news.

"There are two kinds of people who best understood Donald Trump in 2015/2016: students of psychology & students of history, and they both come at it from different directions, but get to the same place: the explanation for his behavior on January 6th is that he's a narcissistic sociopath, a psychopath, a malignant narcissist, a meglomaniac--and all of those things intersect."

How much would your house be worth if the Trump Organization owned it?
https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...flated-values/

Quote:
If we were to inflate the value to the extent that the value of Trump Tower was inflated, your $800,000 swells to $2,182,612, an increase of $1,382,612.

If we apply the level of inflation used for Mar-a-Lago, we get a range from $12,363,177 to $27,204,911. Even if we use the New York Post's generous assessment, the value was still inflated, lifting your $800,000 to $1,632,295.

If we use the level of inflation applied to the property at Seven Springs, your $800,000 becomes $7,760,000. Using the inflation applied to the property at 40 Wall Street, we get an inflated value ranging from $2,098,800 in 2011 to $1,089,481 in 2015.

Then there are the golf clubs. Inflating your $800,000 to the same degree as the inflation applied to the club at Briarcliff, your investment jumps to $3,560,253. The inflation used for the club in Los Angeles raises your $800,000 to $2,830,795.

Congratulations on your sudden surge in net worth. And good luck in court.

A judge’s conspicuous note on Trump, the Saudis and ‘influence buying’
https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...luence-buying/

Quote:
In his ruling, New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron pointed to what he viewed as a particularly strained argument from Trump: that the property values Trump inflated to increase his perceived net worth could be correct because someone might pay them.

And Trump repeatedly pointed to a particular someone: the Saudis.

“He also seems to imply that the numbers cannot be inflated because he could find a ‘buyer from Saudi Arabia’ to pay any price he suggests,” Engoron wrote.

Then, in a conspicuously inserted footnote, Engoron added: “This statement may suggest influence buying more than savvy investing.”
Precisely what the Boy Prince did, as well. Corruption runs deep in MAGALand.

Will Eric and Junior have to move in with daddy? Will Eric and Junior have to get real jobs? I don't think they can count on the old standby FAUX news*.

I hear there's a $15 dollar/hr. minimum wage nowadays.

If Mar-a-Lago is worth over $1 billion Trump should be paying a lot more in taxes
https://www.rawstory.com/amp/mar-a-l...xes-2665746190

Quote:
Columnist David Frum pointed out a Palm Beach Daily News report about Donald Trump's property taxes that showed him trying to claim the value of Mar-a-Lago in 2020 was less than $26.6 million.

As of Tuesday, the former president's son Eric Trump said publicly that it was actually worth more than $1 billion – a post his father later shared on his personal social media accounts. And a civil court in New York overseeing a fraud trial heard that Trump claimed the estate was actually worth $1.5 billion as he tried to secure loans.
So, Whell, what is the true value? Oh, sorry, I forgot; you don’t do facts.
