without a jury...(and no-one suffered a loss by your exaggerations) - by a government that prints money in the middle of the night in order to pay it's bills due to it's overspending, and then adds the borrowed money on your children's national debt card with interest.

What a lovely country that protects democracy!

I say fight to the end!!! Do not give up!

It’s not that he merely exaggerated his wealth as I understand it. But that he fraudulently applied for a loan. It doesn’t matter if he still paid it, fraud is fraud.

Why didn’t the bank turn him in and give him the money?

I don’t see it as a penalty for exaggerating his wealth.

I see it as a penalty for Trump’s very existence and paying back a loan.

These weren’t freaking home mortgages. These were commercial transactions negotiated at arms length.

The entire ruling is an abomination untethered from any legal principle

In a private transaction between parties.

That ended up making the loaning party millions.

And created jobs.

And grew the tax base.

Think about a judge that arbitrarily values your Maralago property to only be $18M when vacant 2-acre lots around Maralago are going for $100M plus. Btw, there were addendum disclosures in every one of those loan applications that were signed by both parties acknowledging the assets valued were merely estimates, it is the sole responsibility of the party making the loan to conduct their own valuation prior to making said loan.

How did he fraudulently apply for a loan?

I seriously doubt this happens to Trump if he’s represented by better lawyers. He’s resorting to amateurs and bottom of the barrel lawyers now and it’s showing.

That’s the rub. The law they used allows him to do exactly that.

In that courtroom it wouldn't matter if he were represented by Daniel Webster Perry Mason and Matlock the outcome was pre determined.

That so called judge should be removed from the bench for such a ruling and trial.

Which is why Trump's lawyers proactively have all of this on record numerous times throughout this proceeding. The next level appeals court is a Dem controlled kangaroo, but when it gets to the NY State Supreme then Trump's lawyers will have this lower court judge by the balls with the record of facts. You literally have vacant raw land a mile from Maralago valued at 5 times more than Maralago itself. That alone does not survive a reasonable person standard of the record.

Your entire premise is wrong - he didn't exaggerate anything - he stated his opinion on the worth of his assets and the banks performed their due diligence and agreed - the useful idiots in this thread calling it fraud probably had to get a co-signer (mommy) for their single-wide.

I hope so. It would be awesome to see a sweeping nut cutting and disbarring all the way down.

Value is subjective. If you buy a car for less than initial asking price was the dealer committing fraud when they listed it as the initial price?

Yea, Trump definitely didn't do this as president.

Imagine living a life thinking you can bend and break every rule, shite on people your entire adult life, associate with sex traffickers, blame others for problems you created, and then thinking it will never come back to bite you.
