That time Trump took $17 million in insurance money for non-existent damages to Mar-a-Lago

if they made that kind of an unwarranted payout.

Do you really believe an insurance company is going to write a $17 million dollar check just because an adjuster told them to?

Look at the way the 9/11 payouts went, something that should never have been challenged by an insurance company.

last night from "one of ours". Yes, it seems that a few dollars worth of chemicals could have stopped Katrina in its tracks when it was just a little hurricane, but G. Bush Jr. "didn't want to spend the money" and covered up this miracle hurricane cure.

Yes, we have ours also. This guy seems pretty normal, otherwise.

he has always seemed like a nice guy. No sympathy for Trump.

In fact, he had put it up for sale and dropped the asking rather quickly.

his business model is he gets projects built by lending his name to them, then he and his partners, take out as many loans as they can, using the projects for collateral, when the loan payment is due, they refinance
over and over until the that merry go round stops, then he files for bankruptcy.
which explains the 6 bankruptcies, where he ended up with a clean slate.
Money laundering is suspected as source of the construction money.

His Atlantic City casino was charged and heavily fined for money laundering in 2015.
Several hotels/Co-ops have gone bust, leaving tenants out in the cold.

but...now...the game has stopped, his money has been drying up at the same time more loans are coming due, and the poor wee little man is not realizing the financial windfalls he anticipated from the election.

Kushner uses same kind of game.

tell ya what...I will leave the info here for future us.....

Always seem like a good guy. He started and donated to the relief fund efforts.

Responsible thing would have been to order everyone off of the island when there was a solid chance that it would hit. He put the lives of his staff and guests at risk so that he could enjoy a thrill. There is zero other reason why a person with his resources would have to ride out a 185 mph cat 5 hurricane.

Now Trump gets the price he was selling it for, and he keeps the land

Something is really wrong with that. To be that far off on market value is absurd. I would like to know when it was put up for sale. Did he put it on the market at that price before becoming President?

You see the same thing on EBay when someone asks $30 for a $15 item.

Same thing Zuckerberg's neighbors did when he moved into the neighborhood. They raised prices to make Zuckerberg stop annoying them. Then Zuckerberg bought them out anyway.

The timing of it going to market would be key. It wouldn't be the first home he sold to a Russian investor for well over market value.

So I believe your "obviously" is really not that obvious.

Isn't a total loss.

even though hundreds of thousands, if not more, will suffer the same fate. Wow...

Nope. Still can't.

My give a damn is busted!

Just in case....

about science and the implications of climate change. Hurricanes (sorry) will just get worse until freaking people wake up I am not talking about those who are aware of climate change and it's deadly affects. Caribbean, Texas and now Florida horrible 3 major hurricanes in the Atlantic basin since 2010 simultaneously.

"The extent of the damage to Trump’s property is not yet fully known..." per the linked article.
