On the verge of losing his assets, Donald Trump has unhinged meltdown about Mar-a-Lago
Donald Trump lost $83 million last week, and he’ll lose perhaps another $370 million as soon as this upcoming week. Since it’s unlikely that he has that kind of cash on hand, he’ll be forced to start selling off his assets (if there are any he’s not upside down on), or his assets could end up being seized.
So it’s interesting that Trump is suddenly ranting pretty obsessively about Mar-a-Lago, the one property he’s probably the most worried about losing. After Trump was forced from office, he made Mar-a-Lago his primary residence, seemingly in an attempt at fending off losing it in any bankruptcy proceedings. But even bankruptcy won’t protect Trump from court ordered asset forfeitures.
Oddly enough, Trump is now obsessively ranting about just how much Mar-a-Lago is supposedly worth. Sheesh, wouldn’t you think he’d be arguing that it’s worth very little, so the legal system might be more inclined to let him keep it?
As is so often the case these days, Trump’s obsessive ranting is giving away the topic that he fears the most – and he’s incoherently taking the wrong position in those rants. Fortunately for Trump, he won’t need a home when he’s in prison.
