Donald Trump's childhood NYC home goes on the market - after it was overrun by feral cats

Source: The Independent

Tuesday 11 November 2025 05:08 EST


Donald Trump’s childhood home in New York City has hit the market, despite being temporarily infested by a horde of feral cats. The home has become a pilgrimage site for Trump fans and a site of protest for his political opponents over the years.

Built in Jamaica Estates in Queens, the Tudor-style house is now on sale for $2.3 million. Fred Trump, the president’s father, commissioned the home in 1940 but eventually sold it when the family moved to a larger home.

Trump lived in the two-story, five-bedroom home for four years before he moved to the larger property with his parents.

According to The Wall Street Journal, a burst pipe left the interior of the property coated in mold with the house’s future buyer, forcing its buyer, Michael Davis, to heavily redevelop the home.

It should be razed to the ground and "the earth salted" where it stood.

And if it smells like cat pee, that's probably an improvement.

It's pretty common. I'm more concerned for these MAGA idiots trying to get to Jamaica Estates which is - and you'll be surprised to hear this, I'm sure - a white enclave in the middle of majority minority neighborhoods.

They may not let him, hopefully would attack, claw to death and eat him.
Now that would be some Karmic Justice.
Eating alive by stray free range pussies. And no tic tac’s on hand.

More like possessed. It should be converted into an animal shelter for the cats. They don't tolerate that bad juju.

Not the kind humans Trump obsesses about though!

It’s fascinating, isn’t it? Contemplating the possibility of intelligent life thriving somewhere beyond our planet. The act of looking up at the night sky is almost universal — our oldest shared ritual. Ancient civilizations shared legends and told stories about constellations, treated the heavens as divine, and wondered if someone, somewhere, might be looking back. From the first whispers of myth to modern telescopes scanning the cosmos, humanity has always sought a connection beyond our earthly bounds — always wondering: are we alone?

Perhaps, in our search for intelligent life, we’ve overlooked a species that has already perfected the art of silent observation — watching, waiting, yet always just out of reach. Maybe the answer has been lounging in front of us all along — purring with quiet superiority. What if aliens not only resemble cats in their aloof nature, but actually think like them? Operating entirely on their own terms, revealing only what suits them — never more, never less.
