Former President Donald Trump laid out one of his biggest whoppers yet outside his civil fraud trial in New York City on Tuesday.
Now he’s falsely claiming that his Mar-A-Lago estate is “the most expensive house probably in the world.”

Trump made the bogus claim outside the New York City courtroom where he and his company are currently on trial for allegedly massively overvaluing his assets and net worth to deceive banks, insurers and others that financed his projects.
Outside the courtroom, Trump accused New York Attorney General Letitia James of “ranting and raving like a lunatic” and claimed that she “defrauded the public with this trial.”
But he saved his biggest grievance over the perceived value of his Mar-A-Lago property, which has come under scrutiny during the trial.
Trump has previously claimed the Florida mansion is worth at least $420 million and perhaps $1.5 billion, but Judge Arthur Engoron, who presides over the case, noted the Palm Beach County tax appraiser gave a valuation ranging between $18 million to $37 million.

On Tuesday, Trump claimed James and Engoron are “the frauds” because “the house is worth a billion, a billion-and-a-half, $750 million?”
He griped further: “It’s worth a fortune! It’s the most expensive house probably in the world, and they said it was worth $18 million.”
