Trump says US embassy in Jerusalem will cost only $250,000.

Considering that the median home price in California is $529,900, what a great deal!


"They put an order in front of my desk last week for a billion dollars. I said, 'A billion? What's that for?' I said, 'We're not going to spend a billion dollars.' And we're actually doing it for about $250,000. So check that out," he said.

OK, everyone knows Trump is lying, but he's not even a good liar when he sounds like a 6 year old. Why does he even bother blurting out this kind of nonsense?

Among the very few qualifications he could claim, real estate development is supposed to be chief among them.

So much for that.
