Trump’s True Crimes: Episode 21 – The Mar-a-Lago Heist

In this episode, we uncover the true story behind Donald Trump’s acquisition of Mar-a-Lago, a property once willed to the American people. Originally the estate of socialite Marjorie Merriweather Post, Mar-a-Lago was intended to be preserved as a national landmark, open to the public. However, through a series of legal maneuvers and questionable deals, Trump managed to secure ownership of the property and transform it into a private club.

This episode explores how Trump circumvented the laws meant to protect the estate, avoided paying taxes, and ultimately turned a publicly owned historical site into his personal property. We dive into the legal loopholes Trump exploited, the history of Mar-a-Lago, and the long-term consequences of this land grab on both the American people and Trump’s growing empire.

Join us as we expose how one of the wealthiest men in the world used his influence and legal acumen to take something meant for public good and turn it into a symbol of his private wealth and power.
