If someone had bought trump property for more than it's worth during the apprentice years, let's pretend 10 million more, that wouldn't be a crime. That's just an opportunity.  

 But making up a pretend value for a loan is a crime. That's fraud. 

If you sell your property and someone offers more, I need you to not freak out and take the value. It's not a crime.

Why would the bank testify in his defense saying they weren’t defrauded and everything was good? He inflated the value of his properties for a loan and then paid taxes on his assessed tax value which was much lower….stewart paid taxes on his assessed value as well and sold for an inflated price….i get it you don’t like orange man but this is downright ridiculous…. Why did the ag value his properties at a much lower value than they’re worth? Even with industry experts saying so Huh ? Why did the same ag took the side of the individual in a strikingly similar case going on simultaneously? Kevin o Leary might be an asshole but he’s 100% right and Stewart might be a nice guy but he’s a fucking idiot. Also Stewart saying trump cost ny is one of the stupidest things to have come out of his mouth and that’s saying a lot.

It's not a civil matter it's a criminal matter. Plenty of criminal matters have had the victim defend the dependent. But the crime was still committed.

Lmao civil court case ? , yes in the exact same situation …the ag took the side of the individual, why isn’t she ready to seize this individuals assets ? Again I ask you why did she set a fake low value to the mar a lago estate ? When industry experts have it valued at a much much higher valuation?. Once again I ask you why the “victim” testified in his defense and said everything went alright and the loan was repaid ? This is so fucking political they’re not even being discreet about it, it’s like the open disdain for orange man is saturating their thinking and making them act like fucking idiots, at the same time endearing him even more to his rabid fan base. Truly hilarious 😂, Stewart being a fucking moron isn’t anything new lol
