A judge has ruled that Donald Trump committed fraud for years while building the real estate empire that catapulted him to fame and the White House.
Trump has long insisted he did nothing wrong. His son, Eric, railed against the decision Tuesday in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, calling it “an attempt to destroy my father and kick him out of New York.”
Brother, we want you all out of our society! Not just out of NY.
I love how their comments like that always ignore that large amounts of factual evidence showing wrongdoing was demonstrated at the trial.
I’m sure this was required reading in the Trump household.
The Trump name is synonymous with fraud
For anyone else wondering but who doesn’t want to click:
Manhattan prosecutors had looked into bringing criminal charges over the same conduct but declined to do so
If not successfully appealed, the order would strip Trump of his authority to make strategic and financial decisions over some of his key properties in the state.
So again, the worst punishment for the rich is having a small portion of their ill-gotten gains taken away. The people of Manhattan need to get on their prosecutor’s cases and get some criminal charges going.
If I commit fraud = jail time
Rich person commits fraud = slap on the wrist, and a telling off
But he’s such an honest, stand up guy- the very personification of the law and order party! It cant be true, next thing you’re gonna tell me is he has nearly 100 felony indictments.
Engoron found that Trump consistently overvalued Mar-a-Lago, inflating its value on one financial statement by as much as 2,300%. The judge also rebuked Trump for lying about the size of his Manhattan apartment. Trump claimed his three-story Trump Tower penthouse was nearly three times its actual size, valuing it at $327 million.
Huh. Who knew?
I mean besides everyone not in the Qult.
Why did it take so fucking long for anyone to do anything about it?
Any other person that did this would be in jail. Can’t say your house is worth $1million to use as collateral in a loan but then turn around and report it as $1 to the government.
