2. Trump took $17 million in insurance for Mar-a-lago damage few remember

Donald Trump said he received a $17 million insurance payment in 2005 for hurricane damage to Mar-a-Lago, his private club in Palm Beach, but The Associated Press found little evidence of such large-scale damage.

Two years after a series of storms, the real estate tycoon said he didn't know how much had been spent on repairs but acknowledged he pocketed some of the money. Trump transferred funds into his personal accounts, saying that under the terms of his policy, "you didn't have to reinvest it."

In a deposition in an unrelated civil lawsuit, Trump said he got the cash from a "very good insurance policy" and cited ongoing work to the historic home.

"Landscaping, roofing, walls, painting, leaks, artwork in the — you know, the great tapestries, tiles, Spanish tiles, the beach, the erosion," he said of the storm damage. "It's still not what it was."

Trump's description of extensive damage does not match those of Mar-a-Lago members and even Trump loyalists. In an interview about the estate's history, Trump's longtime former butler, Anthony Senecal, recalled no catastrophic damage. He said Hurricane Wilma, the last of a string of storms that barreled through in 2004 and 2005, flattened trees behind Mar-a-Lago, but the house itself only lost some roof tiles

3. Oh Noes! Don't people go to prison for insurance fraud?

He can use that money he pocketed last time to pay for damages this time around. And since this information is out there now, you would think the insurance company would send a "real" adjuster after Irma.

6. Scam artist. There used to be a satirical magazine called SPY in the eighties and

early nineties. They coined the nickname " short fingered vulgarian" for Trump and once sent him a check for 7 cents to see if he would cash it. He did.
