$3M Fundraiser Aims To Gift Trump's Childhood Home To President

JAMAICA ESTATES, QUEENS — The anonymous owner of the Queens home where President Donald Trump grew up has turned to GoFundMe in an effort to offload the property, which failed to sell at auction last year.

A $3 million crowdfunding campaign is asking fans of the president to chip in to buy the five-bedroom house in Jamaica Estates as a gift to Trump or a charity of his choosing, according to the GoFundMe page.

"Wouldn't you like to contribute to one of the most awesome gifts of all time?!" the fundraiser's description reads.

The GoFundMe, which was first reported by The New York Times, was set up by the auction company Paramount Realty USA.

In its description of the campaign, Paramount references a 2016 interview with late-night television host Jimmy Fallon, in which then-candidate Trump floated the idea of buying the home himself.

"That's sad, to look at that," Trump told Fallon. "I want to buy it."

Paramount tried to auction off the property in fall 2019, after it spent months on the market at a listing price of $2.9 million, but was unsuccessful, the Times reported.

The crowdfunding campaign, which was created Nov. 23, had raised $125 as of Wednesday.

The home's current owner is known only as Trump Birth House LLC but has been partially identified as a Chinese investor in news reports.

That individual bought the home for $2.1 million in 2017.
