- Donald Trump obtained two mortgages within weeks for adjacent Palm Beach properties, each labeled as his principal residence.
- Neither home was ever occupied by Trump and both were leased as investments, contradicting his later condemnation of similar conduct.
- Legal experts note that while such claims can be lawful, the Trump administration treats multiple primary residence mortgages as fraudulent.
- This parallel between Trump’s actions and his administration’s fraud allegations casts doubt on the consistency of their enforcement.
Given Trump’s position on situations like this, he’s going to either need to fire himself or refer himself to the Department of Justice.— Kathleen Engel, a Suffolk University law professor and leading expert on mortgage finance, commented on Trump’s mortgages and potential misrepresentation.
