So why doesn't Trump fire these four cabinet members? 🤣

 

Yes, claiming two primary residences on a mortgage application is often illegal. It is also so common that no fewer than four members of Trump’s Cabinet—that’s one-quarter—have done the very same thing. They are: Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer; Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy; Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin; and, we learned just this week, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. And don’t let’s forget Trump’s chief of staff, Susie Wiles. If “lack of care in making important financial representations … calls into question” one’s “competence and trustworthiness as a financial regulator,” why does Bessent still have a job? Because the reason cited for Cook’s firing is transparently phony.

There’s no reason to think Chavez-DeRemer, Duffy, Zeldin, Bessent, or Wiles did anything illegal or notably unethical when they claimed multiple residences as “primary.” (It probably occurred in the course of initialing a stack of documents at closing prepared by a lender, mortgage broker, or real estate attorney; in Bessent’s case, through a lawyer acting as proxy.) But there’s even less reason to think Cook did.

Also important to note, when did they sign the papers; before or after their appointment/confirmation. With Cook it was before, so known at confirmation and not made while in office.

Loan documents obtained by Reuters and reviewed by multiple outlets show that Cook declared the Atlanta property as a “vacation home” in her May 2021 loan estimate.

•  On a separate security clearance form (SF-86), she described it as a “second home”, which aligns with the loan documents and contradicts the Trump administration’s claim that she falsely declared two properties as “primary residences”.

•  Fulton County B tax records confirm Cook never claimed a homestead exemption on the Atlanta condo, further supporting her assertion that it was not her primary residence.

 

I think Pulte is on borrowed time.

As this disastrous administration is built on hypocrisy I don't see how this will change anything. Trump 2.0 is a grifting enterprise and this is what grifters do - get rid of enemies.
