The mystery of Donald Trump and the New Jersey cemetery.

This is the craziest thing I've ever heard. What the hell is he doing?

According to plans filed with local and state authorities, the Trump Organization has proposed to build a pair of graveyards at the site of its tony Trump National Bedminster golf course.

One would be small, 10 plots overlooking the first hole. It was intended — or so they said — for Trump and his family. “Mr. Trump .?.?. specifically chose this property for his final resting place as it is his favorite property,” his company wrote in a filing with the state in 2014.

.....

The plan was big: 19 feet high. Stone. Obelisks. Set smack in the middle of the golf course. In Bedminster — a wealthy horse-country town 43 miles west of New York City — officials had some concerns about hosting a reality TV star’s tomb. The huge structure would seem garish, out of place. And there were ongoing worries that the spot might become an “attractive nuisance,” tempting curiosity-seekers to trespass on club grounds.

Trump offered a concession.

The tomb would be versatile.

It could also be a festive wedding .?.?. tomb.

“We’re planning a mausoleum/chapel,” Trump said, according to a news report from the time.


A WEDDING TOMB? SERIOUSLY?
