Showing Original Post only (View all)Trump may rue the day.... "Trump properties could become Iranian targets" [View all]
Trump and his minions think this is over? Hmmm. I doubt it.https://finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-properties-could-become-iranian-targets-190912364.html
Theres a unique set of targets Iran is likely eyeing as it contemplates retaliation for the U.S. killing of a top Iranian general in Iraq on Jan. 2: Trump Organization properties in 11 countries outside the United States.
President Trumps real-estate company owns or manages buildings bearing the Trump name in Canada, Dubai, India, Indonesia, Ireland, the Philippines, Scotland, South Korea, St. Martin, Turkey and Uruguay. Those properties are all listed on the companys website.
[Iran] will look for the most opportune chance to strike back in a way that hurts President Trump personally, Iran scholar Suzanne Maloney of the Brookings Institution said on a recent Lawfare podcast. I will assume security around any Trump property is enhanced.
On Jan. 5, an Iranian official who advises the countrys president hinted that Iran is, in fact, tracking Trump properties. Hesameddin Ashena, who runs the Iranian presidents research outfit, posted a tweet, without comment, linking to a Forbes web page on Trumps personal wealth that lists 19 Trump properties, mostly in the United States. The Trump Organization owns those properties. Most of the firms international properties are owned by others, with the Trump Organization branding and managing them.
We have ZERO problems with the American people, Ashena wrote, in English, in a separate tweet. Our sole problem is Trump. In the event of war, it is he who will bear full responsibility.

OP
I worded that poorly. What I meant was, during an act of war, can Trump claim for damages?

That's what I thought, but since God appointed him, maybe He can do something
