The opposite day, Kathryn Rubino requested, “Will Tish James Hit Trump Where It Really Hurts?” The previous president had simply admitted that he couldn’t find anyone crazy enough to get him a half-billion dollar bond. Regardless of his authorized group sustaining all through the case that he had over $400 million in chilly arduous money — certainly Trump himself testified that he had “considerably in extra of 400 million in money” lower than a 12 months in the past — they’re now singing a a lot sadder tune, complaining that every one his cash is tied up in luxurious actual property and nobody will settle for actual property as collateral.
So, to get again to the unique submit, Trump’s lack of ability to place up a bond opens the door for the New York Legal professional Basic to start out going after Trump’s most beloved properties. However what seizure would piss him off probably the most?
Trump Tower? Mar-a-Lago? Bedminster?

(1) Trump Nationwide Golf Membership, Bedminster v. (8) Trump Golf Hyperlinks at Ferry Level
From Trump’s official description: “Trump Nationwide Golf Membership, Bedminster boasts 36-holes of world-class golf located on over 600 rolling acres within the prestigious New Jersey countryside. This award-winning property gives a championship golf expertise in probably the most unique setting.” The Previous Course is, according to Golf Digest, Trump’s highest rated course. Bedminster was additionally the anticipated host of the 2022 PGA Championship before the PGA backed out simply because somebody incited a mob to storm the Capitol. However that didn’t cease the Saudi-backed LIV Golf from internet hosting an occasion there. And all it most likely price had been a number of nuclear secrets and techniques.

Ferry Level is the course you see if you cross the Throgs Neck into the Bronx and see “TRUMP” garishly written in massive stone letters. It’s truly a Jack Nicklaus design, however it’s additionally constructed on an outdated trash dump. Someway putting a gold-plating of status atop a bunch of rubbish feels quintessentially Trump.

“With over 100 years of heritage and historical past, Trump Turnberry is an iconic vacation spot identified all through the world,” goes the official description. “A particular landmark on the shoreline, Trump Turnberry gives far-reaching views throughout a few of the world’s most well-known fairways.” Turnberry has additionally hosted the British Open a number of occasions, making it arguably his most “prestigious” golf course. Would the New York AG actually go to the difficulty of trying abroad when there are greater than sufficient belongings stateside? In all probability not, however this bracket is about what would piss him off.
Doonbeg as described by the Trump group: “The pure awe-inspiring dunes, wind pace and route trigger probably the most thrilling of challenges demanding golfers to continually rethink their recreation.” Personally, I believe enjoying golf in a wind randomizer would demand golfers to “continually rethink ever taking on the sport” however to every their very own.
Trump wanted to build a giant wall to shield the fairways however Eire didn’t need him destroying the dunes. This man and his goofy partitions.

(3) Trump Nationwide Golf Membership, Washington D.C. v. (6) Trump Nationwide Golf Membership, Jupiter
“Trump Nationwide graces 800 rolling acres alongside the magnificent Potomac River. The panoramic setting and distinctive design creates the last word surroundings for a luxurious golf membership.” Regardless of the identify, the membership is definitely in Virginia and very similar to Trump himself within the categorized paperwork case, solely pretending to have a job in Washington.
It’s one other Jack Nicklaus design. That’s actually probably the most fascinating tidbit I can discover about this place. However they seem to make a stable Whiskey Bitter.
However, as Trump is a teetotaler, that’s most likely not going to hassle him a lot.

In the meantime, the Doral Membership was on the PGA calendar from 1962 to 2016. Trump bought the membership in 2012 and launched into a large $250 million renovation that he accomplished simply in time for the PGA to take away it from its annual calendar. The Washington Publish has reported that the resort is in “steep decline” with working revenue off by upwards of 69 %. However he hosted the G7 summit there, providing world leaders an up shut view of what an financial system run by Donald Trump would appear like.
