    Did anyone catch the slip during a speaking event where his attorney was in frame while he said they told the court that Mar-a-lago is worth $18M but it’s really worth $1.5B? That was a day or two before the jury determined the amount of damages award. She looked a little shocked and upset that he said that.

    How amazing is it that while he is being tried for crimes, he doesn’t even stop criming in ways that prove the prosecutors’ cases for them? Proves he doesn’t even believe his defense that he didn’t break laws, just that he’s immune because of accidentally getting elected.

      He already said those valuations are just how the real estate market works… and he isn’t wrong. Just like with everything, the “real worth” is whatever you manage to sell it for, but since he hasn’t sold it, he can claim whatever suits him at any moment.

      Isn’t building a society on a free market instead of the other way around, just great?
