Why does no one want Donald Trump's childhood home?

[left-of-center2012]

Nobody in New York wants to live in Donald Trump’s childhood home. And with an asking price that’s two times the Queens neighborhood’s median sale price, who would? The modest 2,000-square-foot Jamaica Estates house, where Fred Trump raised the Donald, will once again face the hammer on Nov. 14.

The current owner, an anonymous Chinese investor, paid $2.14 million in 2017 for the slice of presidential history — despite a median sale price of $980,000 for single-family houses in the area — it’s likely that yet another investor, rather than a Queens resident, will offer the winning bid. “As a house, it’s worth about $1 million,” says Misha Haghani, the principal of Paramount Realty USA, which is handling the auction of the home for a third time. “We aren’t selling real estate. We are selling a dream, a collectible, something that is meaningful to a lot of people.”

The five-bedroom Tudor was even a flop as a rental. Shortly after the 2017 sale, the house turned up on Airbnb — filled with Trump tchotchkes and the obligatory life-size cutout of the POTUS — asking $725 a night. The Post even spent the night. With no hot water and a lingering stench of mothballs and lemon Pledge, it was no Mar-a-Lago.

This game of hot potato started in 2016, shortly before Trump’s inauguration, when real-estate investor Michael Davis dropped nearly $1.4 million for the property — 78 percent more than the $782,500 it last traded at in 2008. Art-of-the-deal-Davis then made a 54 percent profit flipping it to the current owner, who appears to be stuck with Chez Trump.

1. There is not enough Clorox and perfumes to cover the stench.

5. That's a lot of Trump stench in that house

Eewww! Cough, cough, gag!

[lastlib]

19. Nothing could take the smell of sulfur out of that place.

Best bet: burn it. Level it. Dump the debris in the Marianas Trench.

[lunatica]

23. It's good to see a lot of people feel this way

The wealthy despise Trump, and the ones who love him are despised by him. They can’t afford to keep him and his spawn in their preferred lifestyle. If they only knew.

6. "with an asking price that's two times the Queens neighborhood's median sale price"

I like articles that answer the question they pose in the first paragraph.

[Faux pas]

7. Being used for

money laundering maybe?

[lunatica]

24. Failed investments.

Greedy types who see a sucker when they look in the mirror.

8. "With no hot water and a lingering stench of mothballs and lemon Pledge..."

Well, no one who can afford $725 is going to stay here when even a Motel 6 has hot water and smells better, and the base doesn't usually have $725/night for travel accommodations.

17. ugly as an outhouse

The kind way to describe the style of that thing is "eclectic".

What's with all the junk piled in that skinny ribbon of grass around it?

Just bulldoze it and make a mini park in its place. The more of Donald Drumpf that's erased, the less shame for all of us.

[Baltimike]

18. Heh. They should make it a haven house for undocumented migrants. nt
