        The amazing thing about Trump is that he’s literally the worst human being someone could imagine. I’m a life long New York City resident and we got to see his entire career up close because he loves having his face in the news.

          And apparently, him being the worst person you can imagine is exactly what his supporters like about him. Because if they could get away with everything like him, they would be the same.

          It’s kinda crazy, isn’t it? He’s not some fresh face with a secret past. We’ve known what kind of person he is since DAY 1 since he’s been so openly proud about it.

      That and he hopes it will shield the property from current and future fraud investigations against Trump Org. There was a real chance, at the time, that the business’s property could be seized by the court and having a grave would give them leverage to stop it.

    Actually you can but someone on private land if you fill out the paperwork (USA) and get the ground scanned and flagged so you don’t break something, like water or electricity. It’s not even that uncommon in the country.

    I dunno about the tax thing, sounds sus.

      I did some digging (hah), but it seems the laws vary from state to state and it can get kinda complicated. Generally you only qualify for the exemption if the property is used exclusively for the internment of dead bodies.

    Does the sovcit have a particular family member in mind? Is that family member dead yet? The sovcit’s post concerns me. Time may be a factor.

    Okay, I am not one to usually say call the cops, but definitely call the cops on this person because they already have the bodies buried.

    I mean if you have enough deceased family members, you could maybe make that arguement land… but I can’t help feeling that Pyrrhic victory over the tax-man wouldn’t exactly be worth it
