MASSIVE HYPOCRISY! Trump guilty of the same mortgage scam he's accusing his enemies of employing.
In a jaw-dropping twist that would make even the most shameless grifter blush, President Donald Trump has been exposed for doing exactly what he's spent months screaming that his political enemies should be prosecuted for: taking out multiple "primary residence" mortgages at the same time - a move his own administration now calls "deceitful" and "potentially criminal."
ProPublica's new reporting reveals that back in the early 1990s, Trump signed two mortgages just seven weeks apart for lavish Palm Beach homes, each one declaring the property as his primary residence. The punchline? He never lived in either of them. Not one day. They were rental investments from the jump - the exact type of deal Trump's hand-picked mortgage inquisitors now claim is clear evidence of fraud.
But that hasn't stopped Trump from using the very same accusation to attack his political opponents, including California Senator Adam Schiff, Federal Reserve board member Lisa Cook, and New York Attorney General Letitia James. Trump blasted Cook as "potentially criminal," demanded she be fired, and even pushed the Justice Department to go after James for what now looks like⦠far less than what he himself did.
As one mortgage law expert told ProPublica: based on Trump's own standards, he'd have to refer himself to the DOJ. Spoiler alert: he hasn't.
The White House, naturally, called the reporting "desperate," insisting no fraud was possible because the same lender issued both loans. That's not how mortgage law works - but this administration's relationship with reality has always been... flexible.
Even more embarrassing: Trump has argued publicly that simply having two primary-residence mortgages is inherently evidence of wrongdoing. And yet the only person caught red-handed doing just that - while personally profiting from it - is Trump himself.
Once again, the man who loves to brand opponents as "crooks" has been caught in his own hypocrisy... and this time, it's written right into the mortgage documents he signed.
In Trump's America, accountability is for everyone except the guy demanding it.
