The other one Iām curious about is Insurance time. Do you go like Tax Time and underinsure or like loan time and overinsure it. I think itās probably the former because Trump is cheap and submitting false insurance claims sounds like work.
Itād be a shame if something happened to the place.
Forbes also valuing Mara largo at 1.8 billion.
āpersonal attacks on my members of my court are unacceptableā said judge, accepting that this had occured and not imposing any punishment.
that style of just saying you wonāt tolerate but wonāt actually do anything about it does work on some people but not guys like trump
Issuing a gag order and making him take down the post seems like a reasonable response for first offense (in this case)
Forbes also valuing Mara largo at 1.8 billion.
The wikipedia on this is hilarious. Trump bought it for $7m. It was a historical landmark and the previous family gave to the government.
He offered the Post family $15 million for it, but they rejected it. Trump purchased the land between Mar-a-Lago and the ocean from Jack C. Massey, the former owner of KFC, for $2 million,[23] stating he intended to build a home that would block Mar-a-Lagoās beach view. The threat caused interest in the property to decline, and Trump ended up getting the property for $7 million in 1985
well we already knew that but man what a dick
Gag orders work like declassification, where you just say it and itās a thing?
I presume here itās in the transcript of the court proceedings along with an acknowledgement (or at least lack of objection) by Trump or his lawyers that he understands that he has to abide by it. Which he did, at least in part, by deleting the offending post.
Trump lied to a judge. Was that wrong?

Thatās not out of the question. Itās a great piece of property.
The Saudis would by a used and broken Cracker Jack toy for $1.8B if it served them. That doesnāt make the toy worth it. Kind of like paying $20 for a pencil in college. (Is that still a thing as a workaround to charging admission to a party?).
Honestly I donāt think $1.8 Billion is that much of an inflation. I havenāt looked up precisely how large it is, but itās a huge piece of property, the dirt alone is worth a ton. Thereās a Par 3 course a little ways south that is probably a little larger and Iāve heard it being estimated at $2 Billion.
Is he starting dreads?

Trump could also run into problems with the GOPās own conference rules, which state a member of GOP leadership is required to step aside āif indicted for a felony for which a sentence of two or more years imprisonment may be imposed.ā
I guess technically he has to become speaker before he steps aside. Also, it doesnāt say when he has to step aside or how that would be enforced. I still donāt think he wants a vote he could easily lose but heāll take all the attention he can get up to that point.
How much do you think Trumpās journey might have changed if he had instead just went straight to Senator and Speaker?
I want to say anyone who can win POTUS could have good chances at a lower position, but idk I think the grandiosity of the position may have been the only reason he had political momentum matched to his brand.
Just a few assassinations away from being president again.
