Trumpâs Cabinet Double-Dips On Primary Residences, Justice Waits
In a dazzling display of mortgage dĂ©jĂ vu, Trumpâs own Cabinet stars Lori Chavez-DeRemer (Labor), Sean Duffy (Transportation), and Lee Zeldin (EPA) all pulled the classic 'double primary residence' trick, despite Death-Defying Bill Pulteâs stern warnings against multiple 'principal homes.' Chavez-DeRemer doubled down in 2021 refinancing Oregonâs Happy Valley then snagging a golf-course-adjacent Arizona crib just months laterâwhere she once took a golf cart trip so intense it landed her in the hospital. Pulte, heir to a housing empire and faithful Trump cheerleader, claims dual primary claims equal fraud fit for the cell, while Trump's loyal White House call these âhit piecesâ aimed at liberating taxpayer wallets from âleft-wing dark money groups.â Meanwhile, legal experts whisper confidentially that mortgage fraud prosecutions are about as rare as a facts-approved political tweet.

When Trumpâs team starts criminally investigating double primary residences but half his cabinet does it too, you know the phrase 'rules for thee but not for me' just walked in wearing new mortgage docs.
Trumpâs mortgage fraud crusade is inspired by surprise: his own cabinet might get invited to the party, complete with golf carts and dual-home perks.
