Trump has claimed his Florida resort is worth as much as $1.5 billion, but the Palm Beach County property appraiser valued it far lower.
A Democratic House member is asking Palm Beach County, Florida, to tax Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago property at the rate the former president claims it is worth amid his ongoing civil fraud trial in New York.
In a letter first provided to NBC News, Rep. Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla., issued the request to Dorothy Jacks, Palm Beach County’s property appraiser.
Moskowitz noted New York Judge Arthur Engoron’s ruling last week saying that Trump repeatedly committed acts of fraud for years. Engoron ruled that Trump lied to banks and insurers by overvaluing and undervaluing his assets while exaggerating his net worth to billions of dollars.
You could argue that being owned by a former President and being the source of so many trips during his presidential term it became known as “The Southern White House” or “Winter White House” should increase its value.
By virtue of the fact that up until just a few months ago, you could even go there and casually peruse security sensitive and classified information if only you found the right bathroom, I guess you could say it was priceless.
You could argue that, but you’d be wrong. Watch Selling LA to see what a celebrity premium is worth lol.
Trump crosses that line from celebrity to President, but Presidents aren’t normal celebrities.
I agree, had he never become President, the resort owned by “that Apprentice guy” wouldn’t carry additional value.
Presidential properties are a different class.
bwahahaha those dumb names haven’t heard in a while, I prefer Mar a Lardo personally, would that increase the property value? maybe the classified documents you can find in the shitter?
