Top GOP pollster warns NY AG Letitia James that if she starts seizing Trump's property 'you're going to create the greatest victimhood of 2024 - you're going to elect Donald'

Top Republican pollster Frank Luntz warned New York Attorney General Letitia James against seizing former President Donald Trump’s properties ahead of a deadline for Trump to pay a $454million fine to the state Monday.

The former president’s bank accounts could be frozen and his beloved buildings at risk of being seized by Attorney General Letitia James if he doesn’t get a reprieve from an appeals court or find an insurance company to cover the massive bond.

However, Luntz – a trusted pollster by the GOP for decades – has said that James only stands to help Trump in his rematch with President Joe Biden in November if she begins taking his assets.

‘If they take his stuff, he’s going to say that this is proof that the federal government and the establishment and the swamp in Washington…that this is a conspiracy to deny him the presidency,’ he said.

Luntz, who is considered an anti-Trump Republican, believes that Trump will be able to ‘create the greatest victimhood of 2024’ if he starts having his properties stolen from him by an establishment politician like James and all in the public eye.

Top Republican pollster Frank Luntz warned New York Attorney General Letitia James against seizing former President Donald Trump ‘s properties ahead of a deadline for Trump to pay a $454million fine to the state Monday

‘He’s going to go up in the polls just like he went up every single time they indicted him.’ Luntz said on a CNN panel last week.

Not only that but it typified what he believes is the stupidity of the Democrats and ‘Never Trumpers’ attempting to stop him.

‘In the seven swing states, Trump is up by the margin of error in five out of seven. Why is that happening? Because his critics are stupid and they’re running a horrible campaign,’ he argued.

The attorney general formally registered judgements in Westchester County where Trump has the two properties just north of Manhattan on March 6.

According to the county clerk’s online database, the judgements were registered against Trump, the Trump Organization and his two adult sons Don Jr. and Eric. The action was first reported by Bloomberg News.

It comes as Trump is facing a Monday deadline to secure the judge-ordered $454 million in the civil fraud case.

The move signals the attorney general may be eyeing the property if Trump is unable to post bond. The filing did not give a reason for the registration or specifically identify any Trump assets.

On Friday, he claimed to have $500 million in cash hours before shareholders voted through a merger of his media company that put his paper stock at the venture at $3.3 billion.

New York DA Letitia James has said if Trump hasn’t made good on a $454 million court judgement against him by then from his New York fraud trial, she will begin seizing properties – hitting that Trump’s prized Art Deco skyscraper 40 Wall Street could be in her sights.

She also appears to be eyeing Trump’s Westchester golf club and Seven Springs estate, registering judgments in Westchester County.

The former president was boiling over online at the prospects the state may act against him. He wrote a series of fundraising pitches telling New York to ‘keep your filthy hands off Trump Tower.’

Then he fulminated online about the judge who slapped the stunning $454 more award on him – which increases by more than $100,000 per day as he moves to appeal.

‘Arthur Engoron is a Rogue Judge who was intimidated by the big, nasty, and ugly mouth of Leticia James, considered by many to be the WORST Attorney General in the U.S. She is a Low IQ individual who campaigned for Governor, using my name, and got TROUNCED,’ he posted on his Truth Social site.

‘She and her PUPPET Engoron, who valued Mar-a-Lago at $18,000,000 when it is worth 50 to 100 times that amount, have destroyed all business prospects for New York State, that is already dying, or dead. But have no fear —When I become the 47th President, we will MAKE NEW YORK GREAT AGAIN!’

The real estate drama came as Trump scrambled to find someone willing to underwrite a bond, his lawyers wrote in a filing.

Trump’s team said they approached 30 institutions and couldn’t find anyone willing to post a bond for him. Trump, who previously posted a $91 million bond in the E. Jean Carroll defamation case, then posted on Friday that he had $500 million in cash.

Experts have suggested that Trump Tower could even be on the list of seizures by AG James

Among the properties James could target are: Seven Springs, his Trump National Golf Club in Westchester, and Trump Tower – where Trump’s own 10,000 square foot penthouse apartment was a key matter of dispute.

James has noted she can see 40 Wall Street from her own office. ‘I look at 40 Wall Street each and every day,’ she said.

Meanwhile the 77-year-old will be heading to a Manhattan courtroom for a hearing in what will likely be the first of his four of criminal trials to begin.
