Keith Olbermann's Former Trump Palace Pad Back on Market After 1 Month
Olbermann sold his condo in July and left with "90 percent of my money and 100 percent of my soul!"
UPPER EAST SIDE, NY — Just a little more than a month has passed since Keith Olbermann celebrated selling his former Trump Palace apartment on the Upper East Side, and the unit is already back on the market.
In March the noted liberal commentator declared "I can’t stand to live in a Trump building anymore," in an op-ed piece in the Washington Post.
"I’m getting out because of the degree to which the very name 'Trump' has degraded the public discourse and the nation itself. I can’t hear, or see, or say that name any longer without spitting. Frankly, I’m running out of Trump spit," Olbermann wrote in the op-ed.

Olbermann put his apartment on the market and later sold it in July at financial loss, but a self-proclaimed moral victory.

But the new buyer, an LLC called Emerita Associated USA, must have hated the place as much as Olbermann. The apartment is back on the market for a price of $3.9 million, about $100,000 more than what they paid Olbermann, reported Luxury Listings.
Legal documents show that the owner of Emerita Associated USA is Syrian business owner Albert Nasser, reported Luxury Listings.
A Syrian businessman is a tenant in Trump Palace, and he wants to sell after just one month. Oh, the irony.
