For months, the Trump administration has been accusing its political enemies of mortgage fraud for claiming more than one primary residence.
President Donald Trump branded one foe who did so “deceitful and potentially criminal.” He called another “CROOKED” on Truth Social and pushed the attorney general to take action.
But years earlier, Trump did the very thing he’s accusing his enemies of, records show.
In 1993, Trump signed a mortgage for a “Bermuda style” home in Palm Beach, Florida, pledging that it would be his principal residence. Just seven weeks later, he got another mortgage for a seven-bedroom, marble-floored neighboring property, attesting that it too would be his principal residence.
In reality, Trump, then a New Yorker, does not appear to have ever lived in either home, let alone used them as a principal residence. Instead, the two houses, which are next to his historic Mar-a-Lago estate, were used as investment properties and rented out, according to contemporaneous news accounts and an interview with his longtime real estate agent — exactly the sort of scenario his administration has pointed to as evidence of fraud.
Yeah, no shit. He was trying to saturate the media with this accusation tied to Dems so that it looks like petty retaliation when he’s credibly accused of it. “See? Both sides!” And people ignore it because they’re tired of the topic. So he gets away with another scandal.
Trump is a fucking moron, but his handlers are smart enough to know how to control the media and therefore most people’s attention spans.
It’s okay, the Supreme Court lets you do it when you’re president.
Well, not you. Just one guy.

“Every accusation is a confession.”
What’s the ole saying? Let me just go look that up.
Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
It’s also “No one tells me what to do. I tell you what to do.”
Shortened to “Fuck you I got mine”
i am shocked. ABSOLUTELY SHOCKED!
Yes of course, and along with claiming a high value for bank loans and a low value for taxes, the Democrats won’t do anything about it because most rich people including their donors do this. The system is designed to enable white collar crime as long as you are wealthy.
“Given Trump’s position on situations like this, he’s going to either need to fire himself or refer himself to the Department of Justice,” said Kathleen Engel, a Suffolk University law professor and leading expert on mortgage finance. “Trump has deemed that this type of misrepresentation is sufficient to preclude someone from serving the country.”
That’s it boys, we finally got him. He’s going to need to fire himself or refer himself to the Department of Justice. Also, I’ve got this bridge to sell you…
WHY IS IT ALWAYS PROJECTION
