Trump May Get Big Tax Break For Burying His Ex Wife On His Golf Course

Ivana Trump was buried near the first hole at Donald Trump's golf resort in New Jersey, and it didn't take long for the public to understand this truly bizarre move: There could be huge tax breaks involved. Under New Jersey law, any land that is used as a cemetery is exempt from all sorts of taxes, and reports suggest that Donald Trump has been looking to bury people on the land for many years. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this macabre story and what it could mean for Trump's businesses.

In case you were not aware, Donald Trump decided to bury the remains of his ex-wife IANA Trump at one of his New Jersey golf courses. In fact, right near the, uh, first green for the first hole, you look over to the side and there's just a grave, a little, little bitty stone IANA Trump year, she was born year. She died, that's it. And then you tee off and you go on your way. So everybody, when this was revealed was a little curious, why in the hell do we suddenly have a body in the ground? Why have you turned your dead? Ex-wife into a sand trap for me, I'm just trying to enjoy round of golf here. Well, it didn't take long for people to understand why exactly IANA. Trump is now buried at a golf course, and that is because under New Jersey law, here it is under New Jersey state tax code.

Any land that is dedicated to cemetery purposes is exempt from all taxes rates and assessments. Cemetery companies are also specifically exempt from paying any real estate taxes, rates and assessments or personal property taxes on their lands. As well as business taxes, sales, taxes, income taxes, and inheritance taxes in the New Jersey law revision commission. A cemetery company is defined as a person corporation association or other entity that owns or operates a cemetery, but does not include a religious organization that owns a cemetery. Yada, yada reports have been circulating for years, by the way, starting all the way back in 2012 that Donald Trump had wanted to start burying people at his New Jersey golf course. He wanted to grill to, uh, build a grand Maum where he himself eventually wanted to be buried. And then in 2017, he scaled it down, said, okay, maybe not a grand mausoleum, but you know, we want, you know, at least 10 plots, then it, uh, became a 284 plot cemetery a little while later. So they don't know, but either way, the Trump organization is now in the business of burying bodies. And let's hope this is the first time the Trump organization has been in the business of burying bodies. And they're doing it for tax breaks. Yana Trump's remains will now spend eternity as a sand trap at Donald Trump's golf course because Donald Trump doesn't like paying his taxes and apparently her children are totally cool with that.

And that shouldn't come as a surprise if you paid attention to what these little hens said during her funeral, Don junior told a story where he implied, uh, during two separate parts of a story that she beat the crap out of him. Ivanca told a story about how she encouraged her to show off a little more skin. And then of course

Their nanny also spoke at the funeral and said that Ivanka Trump IANA Trump's life had become a swamp of parasites. So no love lost for the former Trump wife. And now she gets to spend eternity, hearing people yell for, and Hey, give me another diet Coke while you're in the clubhouse. Um, no matter what she did in life, uh, no matter how horrible she may have been. I know nothing about her by the way, uh, that still seems like a pretty crappy way for your remains to S
