Trump prevails over grandmother, 87, in condo case
« on: May 23, 2013, 02:34:30 PM »




Donald Trump won a heated court fight today when a federal jury in Chicago awarded no damages to an 87-year-old Evanston grandmother who sued the TV celebrity over a disputed condo deal at his high-rise Chicago hotel.

Jacqueline Goldberg testified the real estate mogul pulled a fast one by yanking financial incentives after she had plunked down a $500,000 deposit on two condos at Trump International Hotel and Tower.

During closing arguments Wednesday, Goldberg’s lawyers asked the jury for $6 million in damages.

Did the poor old lady really believe she could take down Trump ?   Even if she had video of the transaction and the Pope had done the filming, she would have lost.

That article is not a bounty of information.  Why, at 87, does this woman need two condos in Trump's Temple?  What were the "financial incentives"?  What was in the contract?

Curious minds want to know.

She knew she was going to lose going in. The evidence was not on her side. She sued him for publicity or for greed or she despises him. Could be a combination of all three. .

Frankly, it's tough to get any sympathy going for either one of these clowns.

Oh Undies, here we have a conservative 87 year old lady that still works when she could be sitting back smoking pot for medical problems [she says] or getting drunk at a Country Club most nights as she tries to pick up some young stuff, 70 year old rich farts.

She is living the  essence of a conservative, she still makes her own money and guards it like a pit bull.

 Now were she a Male at that age we would be saying ---  Wow check out the old dude that  is still of sound mind and body that has not slowed down one bit in all his years.    Tough old man God Bless Him.

You ask what does she NEED with 2 condos and what  were her reasons for the law suite.   Well sweetie,  she felt she was ripped off and she has every reason and RIGHT to sue a ham sandwich if she wants to.   

Lucky her, at her age most people would if they only owned what they needed would have to ring the bell to get a nurse to bring them a bed pan in a nursing home.   

I like her spunk and attitude,  one heck of a business woman, totally fearless to take on Trump and I think she did it as an example to others that when you  allow a crook to take advantage of you be it a car salesman to being short changed at the Mall, to ignore it is to be a coward.   One has to fight for our rights they don't come free of charge.   

Me thinks your questions have much liberal attitude in them.

Your diatribe about age, sex, health, investor, etc. makes no sense. I would hate to see you on a jury if you based your vote on feelings rather than evidence.

I do not like Trump and think he is a jerk. However, he is not stupid. Looks like she might have gotten bad advise from her attorney or this was just publicity extravaganza on her part. Who gives a crap about her age. Trump is a grandfather also. As much as you despise him, a jury ruled in his favor because she could not present any evidence. The legal system worked and if she feels like she got shafted or got bad legal advise she should sue her attorney. Another one of my observations is how does one buy two condo for a million dollars and expect that they would appreciate to a whopping $6 million. Both of these turds are rich, greedy, Yankee, ego maniacs IMO. I feel for the Judge and the jurrors who had to endure this baseless law suit. Make the bitter, old
lady pay court costs and attorney fees.
