You can now spend the night in President Trump’s childhood home — for a good bit more than you’d spend on a room at his luxury hotel in downtown Washington.

The Tudor-style home in Queens where Trump grew up is listed on the home-sharing site Airbnb for a nightly rate of $725. The five-bedroom house sleeps 20, thanks in part to seven bunk beds, and comes with a life-size cardboard cutout of the president (“a great companion for watching Fox News late into the night,” according to the listing).

A buyer, who wasn’t named, bought the house in March for $2.14 million in cash. The new owner — known simply as Trump Birth House LLC — had originally toyed with turning the property into a library or museum, according to Michael X. Tang, the New York attorney who represented the buyer.

That actually sounds like something fun, to be able to stay in Trumps childhood home for an evening.

It’s a little expensive for one night, but if there are multiple guests they can divide the cost.

I guess the new owner thought this would be an investment property.
 
Except, I hope he screens prospective renters VERY carefully… I wouldn’t be surprised that someone might want to book the property so they could trash it as some sort of middle finger to Trump… 🤷

Unfortunately, that was my first thought.

Good point. Hope he will be able to prevent vandalism or malicious acts towards
the home.
 
It hasn’t been a target for vandalism until now, I think it’s been out of the family for many years.

Also, his actual hotels haven’t been vandalized, save for maybe some graffiti, that I know of.
