QUEENS — You can now stay in President Donald Trump’s childhood home surrounded by numerous nods to the commander-in-chief — including “a giant cut out of Donald,” an Airbnb listing for the property shows.

The five-bedroom Tudor-style home at 85-15 Wareham Place in Jamaica Estates was rented to tenants in June after being listed at $3,500 per month.

Now, the property has turned up an Airbnb with a price tag of $725 per night and the ability to host up to 20 people.

The Airbnb listing for Trump's childhood home in Jamaica Estates. 

Trump’s father built the 2,500-square-foot home in 1940, and the president lived there as a young boy before the family moved to a larger house in Midland Parkway.

The house was sold in January for $2.14 million and later became an eyesore, with overgrown grass hiding cats and pests, neighbors said.

Photos of the property in the rental listing show a freshly mowed lawn, as well as nods to the president throughout the home, including a Warhol-style series of Trump portraits, framed pictures of him and even a life-size cutout of the commander-in-chief.

Airbnb did not confirm if the listing was authentic, though it was verified on their site. 

"This is one of the millions of Airbnb listings in 65,000 cities around the world that offer travelers the chance to stay in homes and communities they might have missed if they stayed in a traditional hotel,” a company statement said.
