How will climate change affect Trump's numerous coastal properties?
You would think that might matter to him. Hell, it might even be a reason to force him NOT to divest.

1. Doesn't matter. It will be too late by then.
Get out and contact your reps and tell them to fight against every single nominee il duce puts up for his cabinet.
Write letters to editors. Contact broadcast media. Join groups fighting the coup. Contribute $$ if you can. Post on social media. Anything else ![]() |

2. He'll just order the Army Corps of Engineers to

3. Probably so.
Using other people's money to enrich himself is his entire MO. If Trump gets the taxpayers to pay for shoring up his property it would fit is business plan.

4. If the beach view is a 30 foot wall, does that affect the property value?
He's eventually going to have to think this through.
Also, if Mar a Lago becomes an island surrounded by a wall, will people want to spend $$$ to stay there? |
