No, not The Donald. Trump in the sense of card games like bridge, euchre, pinochle, and others.Spades represents labor. Diamonds represents wealth. Clubs represents force. Hearts represents love. In many card games, spades trumps--overcomes--all others. In others, such as bridge, trump is declared in advance of play by the players.
But what about real estate? Does trump come into play? You bet. Which suit is trump? Does it matter whether it's in Kitsap or Westchester County?
It depends on the players. A buyer purchasing a home from a parent or close friend holds hearts as trump. Buyers willing to put in sweat equity hold spades. Sellers looking only for the highest price look only at diamonds. And clubs? Banks (foreclosure) and governments (eminent domain) force the sale, almost always netting the owner less than market value.
It's always important to look at your trump suit when you're buying or selling.
