Hell, before that. In 2008, some people were blaming Obama for the economy before he even got elected, claiming businesses were panicked that he might win.

Looking forward to 2-4 years from now when conservatives are acting like Trump Was Always bad and they NEVER supported him.

They did the same thing with Bush, bemoaning that Republicans needed a True Conservative and Bush being a dastardly RINO is what led to Obama's victory. Please ignore the eight consecutive years of rear end-kissing and cheer-leading.

As long as we can skip the step a few years later when liberals forget all the atrocities and just see a kind old man trying his hand at painting.

"Haunted mansion"? Russian? $95 million?
So, being the curious type I looked it up:

quote:

In 2008, Dmitry Rybolovlev bought the Palm Beach mansion owned by Trump for $13 million more than the most expensive Palm Beach mansion sale up to that moment.

quote:

In 2008, Rybolovlev characterized the purchase as a company investment: “This acquisition is simply an investment in real estate by one of the companies in which I have an interest,” Rybolovlev said at the time through a spokesman for Uralkali, the fertilizer company he previously owned.
Rybolovlev added that he didn’t plan to live in the United States.
Nonetheless, he went ahead and paid an exceptionally high, $50 million premium to Trump, then a real estate tycoon and reality TV host, for a property he never sought to live in, not even on a part-time basis.
But the mystery is swiftly solved:

quote:

Rybolovlev had disavowed any interest in the property during his messy divorce from now-ex-wife, Elena.
In her 2009 lawsuit, Elena said Dmitry “has a history of secreting and transferring assets in order to avoid his obligations” — including the payments to her as part of their divorce.

quote:

In 2011, court documents in his divorce stated that “Mr. Rybolovlev has not purchased or managed any real estate in Florida for investment purposes, either directly or indirectly,” according to a motion filed in the divorce case.
That was news to Trump.
“Somebody paid me $100 million,” Trump told a Palm Beach Post reporter in February 2011.

quote:

At various times in court records, Rybolovlev said the house was for investment purposes, then said it would be for his children, or maybe an inheritance, or it might be used in connection with his daughter because she was an equestrian, according to Newman.
Trump was simply helping a billionaire to hide assets from his wife in a divorce! Nothing sinister at all!

quote:

Trump made a hefty profit on the flip: He had scooped up the estate for $41.35 million in 2004 out of health-care magnate Abe Gosman’s bankruptcy filing. In essence, Trump sold for more than double what he had paid four years before.
Before the Trump sale, which at the time was the highest price paid for any single-family home in the country, the most expensive home sold on Palm Beach had been an estate at 1236 S. Ocean Blvd. That property traded hands for $81.5 million earlier in 2008.

Jesus, I bet at secret billionaire meeting they invite Trump to watch him eat worms for the promise of "being his best friend".

That's the same guy who bought the most expensive apartment in New York as his daughters part-time collage pad, for the same reasons (it's in her name). Also that mansion was crazy (random interior flooring choices such as cobblestone IIRC) and there is no evidence Trump or the billionaire ever even set foot in the place before it was eventually demolished.
