'It's huge': Condos in N.Y. Trump buildings selling for way less than similar properties

According to an economist handed two separate reports of property valuations in New York City, if you own a condo in a Manhattan building with Donald Trump's name on it, it will sell for less than similar properties when you want to unload it.

In a deep dive into the impact that the Trump brand has on properties and changes after the former president's name is removed, the New York Times is reporting that the Trump name is worth a lot less than the former president asserted in the financial fraud trial that came to an end last week with a potential $450 million back-breaking fine.

According to the Times' Rukmini Callimachi, who collected data from real estate listing website CityRealty and ATTOM, a property data analytics company, "A review of the price per square foot of condominiums in the seven buildings in Manhattan that still carry the Trump name found that the value dropped 23 percent between 2013 and 2023," with ATTOM setting the decrease at 17 percent.

She then noted that the four buildings that removed the Trump logo from their facades by the end of 2020 "ended the decade from 2013 to 2023 up 9 percent."

According to the report, Trump's landmark Trump Tower has also been hit hard with the average price per square foot of its condominiums collapsing "49 percent since 2013, according to Ondel Hylton, the senior director of content and research at CityRealty," adding that the aging building has also been surpassed by newer developments.

As Columbia University economist Stijn Van Nieuwerburgh put it, “It’s huge,” citing a 25 percent drop "compared with similar properties from their peak in 2013."

Trump has already been 'quietly' selling off properties before court losses: NYT reporter

According to the New York Times reporter who received Donald Trump's tax returns anonymously during the 2016 presidential election, the former president has already been discreetly liquidating his real estate portfolio long before he was slammed with almost $500 million in legal fines.


Speaking with hosts of MSNBC's "The Weekend," investigative reporter Suzanne Craig claimed it appears the former president has been "stockpiling" cash, although it is unclear how much he has on hand.

Noting the $450 million financial fraud judgement handed down by Judge Arthur Engoron on Friday, in addition to $83 million due to E. Jean Carroll, Craig explained Trump has few options besides dipping into his own cash reserves since most banks are off-limits.

"He won't be able to go to banks and get a loan," she explained. "While he was president, and since he left office, I think a lot of people, when they think of Donald Trump's banking relationships, think of Deutsche Bank which has done so much with him. What a lot of people don't know is that in recent years, Deutsche Bank has exited the scene."

'He wants to be Michael Jordan': Ex-Trump lawyer dismantles his 'hideous' sneaker grift

Invited on to MSNBC's "The Weekend" to discuss the upcoming Donald Trump hush money case in a Manhattan courtroom, former Donald Trump lawyer Michael Cohen instead wanted to talk about the former president's foray into branded athletic shoes which has brought about a wave of derision.

Cohen than proceeded to pile on while speaking with the co-hosts.

"I think we've been talking more about Trump's newest venture," he began which made his hosts all smile. "Of course, those hideous looking sneakers that he is out hawking in order to raise money."

"You know, I was up at about 4:00 this morning, I came up with an entire campaign, I decided the next chapter of my life I want to be like 'Mad Men,' I want to go into advertising," he continued. "Donald Trump in his mind actually believes he's the combination of Michael Jordan, my old client Kanye [West], off-white. All smashed into one grifter, right? So those we're going to call, you heard it from me first, the "Air Felons."

Adding that Jordan and West made billions with their footwear ventures, Cohen continued, "I guess somebody impressed upon Trump that he too could make billions of dollars with, you know, these sneakers. In fact, I'll tell you something, he should actually go with something more that he uses. Now obviously we all know Trump doesn't play basketball. He shouldn't be in sneakers, more like adult diapers or something."

'Wrong answer': MSNBC's Michael Steele schools Lara Trump over her plans for RNC cash

Former Republican National Committee chair Michael Steele blasted Donald Trump daughter-in-law Lara Trump on Sunday morning over her plans for the RNC's cash if she is added as co-chair.

With her father-in-law endorsing her for the position, the wife of Eric Trump appeared on Newsmax and stated her priority would be to get Trump back in office no matter what it takes.

That set off Steele who abandoned the party due to the former president.

Lara Trump stated: "The RNC needs to be the cleanest, most lethal political fighting machine we've ever seen in American history. Every single penny will go to the number one and the only job of the RNC. That is electing Donald J. Trump as president of the United States and saving this country."

Then Steele went off.

"I will start by saying: wrong answer," he exclaimed. "That is not the number one responsibility of the RNC to elect Trump. The number one responsibility is to elect every candidate on the ballot on behalf of the party."

"It is to raise money for those candidates who are on the ballot," he continued. "It is to place the infrastructure every candidate will need."

Late Saturday Trump made a surprise visit to the Philadelphia event, where he was met with no small amount of boos, to promote Trump-branded sneakers with price tags up to $399.

After sharing a clip of the former president staring and then holding up a pair of shiny gold basketball shoes, host Steele got in his digs while speaking with the Wall Street Journal's Sabrina Siddiqui.

"This is what it has come to now," Steele laughed. "We are sitting here talking gold tennis shoes for the presidency. What does this say about how much the decisions, the court decisions recently have disrupted the flow of the Trump game? Yes, there was booing — that's a lot of emotion when you are booing at him."

"How are you reading the telltale signs from his campaign? There is a different feel to it after the heels of the massive decision this week," he added.

"Look, as we know, former president Trump is on the hook for a lot of money, it could be with interest totaling about a half billion dollars. He does have a lot of bills to pay. I'm not sure that this sneaker line is going to do the trick for him."

"They are gold," Steele interjected, leading to more laughter.

"They are gold," the Journal reporter conceded while laughing and then adding, "We will see how it pans out. Look, I think the financial challenges that he is facing are having an impact on him and his campaign."
