Pollster Frank Luntz Warns Seizing Trump Properties Will Backfire: ‘You Are Going to Elect Donald Trump’

GOP pollster Frank Luntz issued a stark warning to New York Attorney General Letitia James that she will ensure Donald Trump’s election victory if she proceeds with seizing his properties.

During a discussion on CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360 Friday, Luntz, who is not a supporter of a Trump, said James’ bid to seize Trump’s assets will only play in his favor.

“I want you to remember this moment, and don’t forget it. If the New York Attorney General starts to take his homes away, starts to seize his assets, it’s all going to be on camera. Pundits are going to sit there and scream about this, ‘This man cannot be elected.’ You’re going to create the greatest victimhood of 2024, and you’re going to elect Donald Trump,” Luntz explained.

Luntz went on to say that the Democrats’ confiscation of Trump’s assets will also confirm to the American people that he’s the victim of political persecution by the Deep State.

“If they take his stuff, he’s going to say that this is proof that the federal government and the establishment in the swamp in Washington, and all the politicians across the country and the attorneys generals and all of this, that this is a conspiracy to deny him the presidency,” he said.

“He’s going to go up in the polls just like he went up every single time they indicted him. The indictment, and let’s not talk about whether it’s justified or not, but it will prove the things that he’s saying on the campaign trail, and he will go up, and it may just elect him president. Do not forget that.”

He also imparted words of advice for AG James.

“I say this to the attorney general right now, if you play politics on this, this is what the secretaries of state did in Colorado, and what they did in, I believe is Maine, his numbers went up in both states,” he said. “I don’t understand. I’m almost speechless in how pathetic the opposition to Trump has been and how completely misguided. And this is a perfect example of it.”

Luntz went on to lambast Joe Biden and his campaign handlers over their lawfare approach to beating Trump in November.

“How is Donald Trump beating [President] Joe Biden? He’s got 85 indictments that still exist. Felonies. How is he beating Joe Biden? With the economy getting better and things cleaning up? Okay, we [still have] inflation. You still got immigration. Trump is leading. And 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 said.

“And for those people who do not want Donald Trump back, they should be thankful that the people who are orchestrating his loss are as pathetic and they don’t understand the American people,” he added.

James announced last week that Trump has until March 25 to pay a $454 million bond or else her office would initiate the process of seizing his financial and possibly real estate assets.
