I was in awe yesterday when Trump insisted that his net worth was well over $2.5B and he confidently told the DA they had no case. And when you read the footnotes in his financial statements, he's basically telling the reader that he's full of shit. Frankly, I don't know what'll be more satisfying to watch: losing Trump Tower, or Mar-a-Lago.

Mar-a-Lago.

Because he won't want to come back to NYC and he can't afford anything that nice in Florida.

He was never welcomed into NYC high society. He was always, and correctly, regarded as uncouth. I think it was Tim O'Brien who recently called the Trump family unsophisticated and ignorant. Florida has devolved into a melting pot of goons, mooks, and money launderers. So I think you're right: if Trump loses Mar-a-Lago, that'll be a lot of fun to watch. Imagine believing that shithole is worth $1.5B.

And Trump called the White House тАЬa dumpтАЭ. Mar a Lago is about as tacky as it gets. I felt icky just looking at the photos.

Gold plated everything, except for those documents.

Right. How can anyone see those vulgar, gaudy spaces and not have serious misgivings?

It's dictator chic, right?

Perfect! ThatтАЩs the kind of short, catchy, memorable, repeatable phrasing that Dems need to embrace. It can be applied to Trump in almost any context; his clothing, his plane, his real estate, his failed businesses - IтАЩd say even his immigrant wifeтАЩs Communist family. (Why did MelaniaтАЩs Communist parents living in the White House get a pass from all quarters?)

O wonder if there are Vegas odds on tRump fleeing to Russia to avoid jail?

I think Saudi Arabia is a higher probability. It's warmer and glitzier and he can golf every day there.. And if you think about it, none of the pro-Putin voices in the GOP would actually want to live in Russia. We know this because the families and the mistresses of the various Russian oligarchs would rather spend time in the West: London, NYC, Miami, etc.

It would be such justice if he lost all his properties, with just enough money left to buy his childhood home in Queens.

We were watching "The Devil's Advocate" last week and Trump's penthouse in that movie is prominently featured as the home of Craig T. Nelson's character. The d├йcor is abhorrent.

I've seen it in Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, I believe, and in some magazines. Gaudy!

I want to see him locked up in Trump Tower. It's my new fantasy. Like Sauron in LOTR, Trump is locked up permanently in his own tower.

With no putting green or any other way to play golf.

$2.5B you say...Que my add about him inheriting $400M and working a lifetime to generate less than an index fund would have gotten him.

I know, right? He's all proud of himself for saying he's worth over $2.5B, and he can't admit if he had done what you just said, he'd have been better off.
