Social media users had a field day with Donald Trump Jr. s latest gripe.

Former President Donald Trumps eldest son complained on Thursday to Newsmaxs Eric Bolling about people adjusting their valuations of his fathers properties depending on their motives.

The former president has admitted he is struggling to meet the $464 million bond needed to appeal his civil fraud conviction, which stemmed from decadeslong overvaluation of assets to secure loans and make deals, and undervaluation for tax reasons.

If the ex-POTUS cant get the money together by Monday, New York Attorney General Letitia James can begin the process of seizing his assets. Its prompted speculation as to how much properties like Trump Tower and Mar-a-Lago are actually worth.

If its worth 18 million and thats good for the soundbite at the time, its worth 18 million, Trump Jr. claimed to Bolling. If its worth hundreds of millions the next day for a different purpose, its worth hundreds of millions. And thats whats going on.

Trump Jr. had killed irony with his comments, critics mocked on X (formerly Twitter).
