This is a real thing in NY apparently he donated 436 acres of land back in 06. It's supposedly a shit hole, but he calls it " one of the greatest parks anywhere in the world"

I kind of want to go.

Also when he donated it he had only one demand.... That it is called Donald J. Trump state park. Of course.

"
Trump purchased the property for $2 million in the 1990s, and donated it in 2006 after he was unable to gain town approvals to develop a private golf course on the property. At that time Trump claimed the parcel was worth $100 million. He used the donation as a tax write-off.

indeed

an article on that particular fraud:

"
...
Despite the purchase price of $2.75 million, and a county assessment of $5.5 million at the time of the donation, Trump’s 2016 campaign said in a list of charitable donations published by The Washington Post that the land was worth $26.1 million.

It’s impossible to tell if Trump did anything improper, since he has never released his tax returns. And there’s no law against inflating the value of property on campaign press releases.

"he was unable to gain town approvals to develop a private golf course on the property."

He should have used it as a dumping ground for all of the waste products from the hotel portfolio

So apparently there has been a movement to rename the park. Nine were successful. Trump has offered to take ownership back if they plan to chanhe the name.

Im not sure on the details if they can change the name. Since that was the one demand he had.

I know these things are Trump's own creation, this painful thing I am watching, but I still feel bad for him. So, I sit there forgetting who he is and I just want him to do well in the interview and ace all the questions.
