Donald Trump Jr. Mocked For Grumbling About Others Re-Evaluating Trump Properties: 'Murders Irony'

Due to his history of overvaluing assets for loans and undervaluing them for tax purposes, former president Donald Trump acknowledged that he is having difficulty obtaining the $464 million bail required to fight the New York civil fraud verdict. Trump's legal team claimed that it was 'practically impossible' to pay the fine in the public court filings. Meanwhile, Donald Trump Jr. caused a stir when he voiced his worries about the varying estimates of his father's holdings. While appearing on Newsmax with Eric Bolling, Trump Jr. said, “If it’s worth 18 million, and that’s good for the soundbite at the time, it’s worth 18 million. If it’s worth hundreds of millions the next day for a different purpose, it’s worth hundreds of millions. And that’s what’s going on.” 

As per OK! Magazine, the 2024 GOP front-runner's son was instantly ridiculed on social media for his views; Trump Jr. expressed his displeasure with people and media sources changing the worth of his family's possessions to further their agendas, which led to many on social media making fun of his contradictory remarks. On X, previously known as Twitter, a clip of Jr.'s words from the Newsmax interview became viral, and others pointed out how ironic his statements were. One X user shared the video with the statement, "Donald Trump Jr. murders irony by complaining about other people changing the values of Trump properties based on convenience."

A second X user commented, "Amazing. Let’s not forget that the judge referenced assessed values, both high and low. Trump didn’t mind the lower assessment when it came time to pay taxes. The judge didn’t pull that number out of thin air." A third X user mocked, "A Trump complaining about other people reevaluating properties is like a bee complaining about other bugs making honey. Get off the stuff, junior!" 

Meanwhile, in a recent decision, a New York appellate court decided to postpone collecting former President Donald Trump's $454 million civil fraud judgment in exchange for him providing $175 million within ten days. As per APN News, AG James’ office highlighted that, even in the interim, the judgment remains in effect. “Donald Trump is still facing accountability for his staggering fraud,” the office said in a statement. The Appellate Division, the state's intermediate appeals court, had a five-judge panel that rendered its verdict on Monday. 

Donald is attempting to have Engoron's Feb. 16 ruling overturned. Alina Habba and Christopher Kise, Trump's attorneys, described Monday's decision as an important first step. The real estate tycoon also insisted on Friday on social media that he had nearly $500 million in cash, but on Monday, during a press conference, he stated that he would prefer to be able to spend some of it on his presidential campaign.
