    So, if anybody thinks they might like to buy it on the cheap…

    Just remember, you’ll never get the smell out.

      Fire is very effective at erasing a multitude of sins. Even without the gaudy buildings, the property itself is still worth a nice sum.

        Might be easier to replace.

        but you could try making a paste with baking soda, scrubbing that into the spots (the whole thing?), and then with a stiff brush scubbing vinegar in. Make sure to wear some form of gloves (I’d recommend the heavy latex gloves for scrubbing toilets.).

        The two will break down, so don’t mix them together before using. (as usual mixtures online… they tend to break down into a less-acidic version of vinegar.) as used here, the idea isn’t to make a super-cleanser from two already-good cleansers- you use one to scrub in and get to stuff, and then use the other. The foaming action from the reaction helps lift greases and stains out of the fibers, though.

        alternatively, just scrub with hydrogen peroxide, which as a heavy oxidizer is great at attacking organic stains.

    Lock him the fuck up. May he live another decade in unbearable shame. Abandoned by his kids, his whore. Pallid and bald, his bloated countenance contrasting sharply against his orange jumpsuit. Trump must be destroyed.

      That’s not what’s happening. His assets are already in the process of being sold off by the person who was appointed his Special Monitor, and it’s going to take time to gather and sell it all.

      His NY fraud trial is now purely to determine punitive damages, i.e. money he has to pay as punishment on top of that.

    He’s also likely lose his NY properties. I wonder where he’d end up.

    Ya know, until he ends up in jail, hehe…

    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    Donald Trump has placed himself at further risk of losing control of properties such as his Mar-a-Lago resort following his testimony in the New York civil fraud trial, according to an attorney.

    Trump is accused by New York Attorney General Letitia James of filing fraudulent financial records for years which inflated the value of his properties and assets in order to obtain favorable bank loans and tax breaks.

    Judge Arthur Engoron, who is overseeing the civil trial in New York, has already ruled that Trump had committed fraud by misrepresenting the value of his properties for years.

    Trump faces being banned from doing business in New York state, having his properties removed from his control or being forced to pay a fine totaling hundreds of millions of dollars.

    During the proceedings, Trump has frequently claimed the Mar-a-Lago resort is worth significantly more than the $18 million valuation given by appraisals based on its restricted use as a social club.

    Reacting to the testimony, Gallina said that the New York attorney general office’s lawyers managed to play into Trump’s ego to get him to admit details which were key to their case.

    It’s probably ruined by now, orange paint all over everything. McDonald’s wrappers in the bushes. Top secret documents clogging the drains.
