Even Incogni can't help Trump... but he wouldn't pay them anyway.
I dont think it was a mistake that they didn't ask for a jury trial. He knows he can't beat the case legitimately. Legitimacy is not his game. His only hope is to get a corrupt judge that can be bribed. It's much easier to bribe or manipulate a single judge than an entire jury.
@Legaleagle You should do a real lawyer reacts for the Bluey episode “family meeting”!!! It packs an impressive amount of trial 101 into 8 minutes. Witness tampering, cross examination, etc, and it’s cute and wholesome. Also because you seem like you could use a break from irl politics 😂
I think you need to look at a dictionary and revisit the Oath of Office. Words are losing their meaning with you.
I don't think valuing Maralago at $750 million was overvaluing. $75 million for the property and $675 million for the national secrets stored in the ballroom and bathroom.
Excellent point !!
And the Saudis gave soulless Jared $2 BILLION ... for what, I wonder...
puts a different spin on his claim of "i could've sold it to Saudi Arabia for any price" yeah i bet he could when it had nuclear missile designs as reading material in the master bathroom.
It's been such a wonderful turn of events seeing progressive liberals interested in national security and foreign military action, while conservatives clamor for spending money and resources on Americans instead. It's almost like playing musical chairs and they each sat down in each other's seats.
@@michaelcicero2967when was that , in details where and what have Republicans ever spent money on any group outside of billionaires & millionaires.
You know it's bad when the lawyers stop saying allegedly
Sure. Though it's just the usual situation that there's no need for "allegedly" when the person has been found guilty (criminal trial) or liable (civil).
@@beeble2003that’s…that’s the point💀
@@Zaq-official-music If the intended point was "You know it's bad when you've been found guily/liable", then that point is so obvious that it's barely worth making.
@@beeble2003 obvious or not, it's a good comment
@@beeble2003 I think it's more so that lawyers aren't allowed to specul8 in court. No matter how 'certain' the case or evidence is, lawyers are still supposed to, (as almost a matter of formality/professionalism,) say 'allegedly' to leave room for mistakes. 8ut when even the lawyers feel the case is so clear cut there's no need for the formality of protective vagueness, you KNOW you're screwed.
It's beyond ironic that a shady businessman who's being busted for fraud and misquoting property values would be screwed by the fact that his own lawyer was cutting corners
His ego can only afford the 'yes men' lawyers 😂
Heh he "forgot" to check the box.
@@nathanfuelling2577oh my god can you imagine if that lawyer took the job as a horse of Troy. He went in to bring Trump down. That's so rich.
No sane person believes that mar a lago is worth a paltry 20 million. You'd have to be a lunatic, or a dem, to believe it.
It’s called Karma
"our attempt at fraud wasn't successful so we shouldn't be punished. You wouldn't jail someone for attempted bank robbery!" This is literally sideshow Bob logic.
Right?! Attempted robbery is a real punishable crime!
Nope. There was no attempt at fraud. Proven.
@@cameronwalker294 show us the proof then, cameron.
The judge in the case disagrees, and his opinion matters more than yours.
Except sideshow Bob is twenty times more competent than chimp
Now this needs to continue for other billionaires. You cannot convince me Trump is the only billionaire committing fraud like this
@@A_R_B_Gif that kind of evidence exists, why not?
Well apparently not since there has NEVER been a case like this . 🤔
@@easternsuneasternsun171usually the ultra rich don’t like to have their wealth examined, and trump basically had a magnifying glass on him for four years
@@A_R_B_G Show me how you plan to make an honest billion without exploiting the energy of those around you.
@@disabledchatzen5276 Its not about Trump Exploiting the common man that got him into this. Unfortunately. Laws tend to kind of favor people that do that to an extent. It was the Falsify of amounts on financial statements. Basically he was Lying to OTHER rich and powerful people. Big No no. And its also the fact that he has been doing it for a LONG time. I am sure the Multiple bankruptcies he has declared with said information will come into play should any of them be in the scoop of the time frame.
BUT yeah. Not disagreeing with the need for putting Billionaires under a microscope to make sure its all up and up. But just saying what he is in trouble for here has NOTHING to do with exploiting vulnerable people. (Which yes he has done that) but more with him screwing over OTHER rich and powerful people and companies and Lying to them to get an edge.
The irony is that he probably would've gotten away with all this if he had never gotten into politics. America doesn't seem to care about the illegal shennanigans of the very rich, but Trump brought attention to himself in the worst possible way and insists on keep doing so.
Imagine if people actually liked him as president. He’d still probably get away with it
@@Scroogsirrelevant at this point, he's never been likeable either ...this is him, this was always him
like hunter biden, except hunter didn't even run for office.
He'll probably get away with it anyway, since the AG presented no witnesses who testified that they relied on Trump's representations. Judge Engoron allowed the AG to simply speculate and speculation is inadmissible evidence, so I would not be surprised if the judgment is reversed on appeal.
@@scottmatheson3346 Well, it wasn't so much Hunter himself that brought the attention so much as a conga line of GOP members that have claims on claims, but no concrete evidence. The most the guy was hit with was two late instances of taxes (the thing that politicians hate, and have tried to kill the IRS over), and mishandling a gun (which the GOP doesn't care about, to the surprise of no one, since they're bought out by the NRA).
Court: "Nice evaluation, Mr. Trump. How about you back it up with a source?"
Trump: "The source is that I made it the f*ck up!"
Trump going political was the worst mistake of his life. You put a target like that on your back, things you and others normally get away with suddenly stop working.
It bothers me how he got away with it for so long… how many others are there like him? Probably the vast majority of the rich… and they get away with at the cost of everyone else.
@@Shadow-rt3fx How did he get away with doing something he didn't do? SMH!
@@videowatchaccount7551
He did do it though. It's been proven.
@@videowatchaccount7551 probably the same way you were conceived. By paying someone.
That's nonsense. Politicians get away with far more than non-politicians. And even when they are completely busted they get away with a slap on the wrist compared to non politicians. His problem wasn't going political, it was having the "wrong" politics.
And if that doesn't make not just bells go off, but your entire alarm system. I can't help you.
Fun Fact: Trump has long held that a large portion of his net worth is not real estate, cash, or stock, but the value of the "Trump" brand. This ruling severely damages that brand.
I wouldn't buy that for a dollar.
I think the 4 years in office where the most damaging thing to that brand
He also said over and over that he 'did not include the brand value' in his financial statements, when he actually did. He vastly overvalued everything, including his now worthless brand. Many branded Trump properties have sued to remove the branding, because it's cancer now.
Much like the person himself, I'm not paying 😅
All politics aside, everything aside- I believe his brand should be worth negative? For example where I am we hate rogers as an internet service provider, they can offer one hell of a promotional offer and people will still pick anyone else over them from their sheer aweful customer service and lousy reputation. Trump has been known for not paying his employees some of the time, so its always high risk to do any amount of business with the guy. If that is part of his brand, then it should be worth negative? A brand should be recognizable, trustworthy, consistent, trump is only recognizable even from space, but not trustworthy nor consistent except in his inconsistency. So his brand- should reduce the value of the products he sells- not increase it? he has no good will backing him.
As it turns out the guy had a GREAT reason for not disclosing his taxes when he was running for president.
kinda funny, eh? His own auditors weren't auditing him.
I thought the same thing. That reason just can't have been that he was being audited. Nobody seems to have audited that guy in decades.
Maybe it should be a rule about anyone who runs for president must disclose their taxes or else automatically be disqualified!
Politicians has to be hold to a higher bar, so maybe this would be a rule for both senators and governors?
Like we didn’t already strongly suspect as much.
It's so goddamn disgusting, I fret about whether I should declare a room of my flat as work space, though it might not fully apply, and he doesn't just do blatantly illegal stuff to his taxes, he also overvalues everything to several hundred percent!@@unvergebeneid
Glad to see someone pointing out that the CYA clause in the statements saying that "Management is responsible for the financial statements" is to protect us, the accountants, and not the business owners who provide us with fraudulent information. In fact, after Enron and Worldcom, publicly traded companies cannot have the firm that prepares thier books also audit those books. Of course, avoiding audits is why Trump never took his company public, that and he can't risk having a board that could remove him, because they would.
I just love the amount of professional grade shade that's been thrown by that report
well the dudes a democrat supporter so yea he protect his group and throw shade at any republican party because you don't see him talking about hunter biden getting protection for the crimes he did but you don't see a video about it
@@robertmancuso4383
He literally has made a video about Hunter's plea deal...
@@haxie4516 most of his videos are on trump he only did 2 bidens pieces out of many cases that are worse off then that plus there is many corrupt moments of democrat corruption that made big news yet was not covered by him its mostly one sided guy he does one video once in a while about a democrat side but a dozen others about republican side or trump and not even a recent video talking about how biden and his group got the conflict of hamas and israel to start again by biden and there group insulting Israel and supporting hamas and unfreezing there funds allowing hamas to buy rockets and start there conflict but instead talks about trump when what biden did was worse trump did peace talks and biden started a war
"Trump's lawyer Alina Habba forgot to check the box to request a Jury Trial. She really earned that 'F' tier ranking." - no medical procedure exists to treat a burn like that.
The Lord works in mysterious ways!🙂
So my take on this is that this would have been such an egregiously incompetent mistake that, were it an actual mistake, Trump would fire her and call for her disbarment. The fact that he hasn't done so implies that this was the plan. He needed something to whine about when he loses. His next move is to complain about how he was cheated and how the judge who ruled against him is totally corrupt. It's easier to do that than argue against a jury verdict.
F tier level for Habba is a shade too generous, -X would be closer.
Maybe people running too far into the grey area, or well beyond it into the black, have a more restricted choice of lawyers and accountants willing to represent them, and can't always avail themselves of the best advisers. It's probably more of a "transactional" thing at that end of the spectrum, like transactional love.
@@cuttwice3905In my part of the world we use U--ungraded. So bad it didn't even deserve to go on the scale
I sincerely hope that, if the right to use and profit from Trump's name and image comes up for auction, that it should get purchased by The Onion.
A beautiful idea, but the reality would be pretty nasty-The Onion is part of the entity formerly known as The Gizmodo Group, whose CEO is noted Herb Jim Spanfeller.
Oh God yes please
LOL that idea should be crowdfunded so it can happen if the name and brand does come up for sale
I would contribute my own money for The Onion to win that auction.
@@chaosflash912 "Shut up and take my money now!!!!" lol
People who aren't rich end up in jail in a heartbeat. The rich and powerful get fines and a slap in the hand.
If the price is a fine then it's fine for a price
Same here in Germany with our kanzler. He probably did some shady business with a bank and their tax fraud, but who cares? He said " I don't remember" and that's it. If a normal human would do something, he would be chased over the country, put in handcuffs in in jail for 1000 years.
Not even a slap on the wrist, he was somehow allowed to not be cuffed. Imagine a poor person in the same scenario, officers would be kneeling on their neck.
@@lordofthe6string Nah the poor person's punishment would have be proportional to the charges. The accused would have "charged three officers, disabled their body cams, stole their guns, and shot themself in the back twenty seven times".
Unfortunately he's a former president 😔 He will only be on house arrest if that. Poor people go to jail for stealing bread while he's probably going to get away with 2.2 billion dollars in real estate fraud. The MAGAs talk about "two criminal justice systems".... I'm not sure if that's so horrible because it's so Orwellen or the terrible irony. 🤦🏼they have no idea....
It’s so stunning to me that there are still people on this planet who are surprised by the fact that Trump is a pathological liar.
Just ask them to do their research on him AND NOT ANYONE ELSE. They love to try to bring other people in saying they did it. Yeah other people did this stuff but he in the hot seat and this is a good start.
What's more stunning is the number of people who don't see him as a liar at all.
@@ericstoverink6579 Yeah. We're legitimately living in the plot of Idiocracy. It's terrifying.
@ericstoverink6579 Hey man don't let the media split us up. The whole red vs blue, right vs left just distracts from the fact that its those with power vs those without. There are equally corrupt people, at every level of political office, on both sides of the spectrum.
Yep and Obama was a holy black god.
And to think, if Trump never tried inflating his ego by becoming president none of this would be happening to him.
A narcissist's ego is already astronomically large, at that point he probably felt he deserved it
and if he'd said post Jan 6th that due to unforeseen circumstances he had no desire to run again for political office, none of it would have happened to him either. Which is exactly why a large portion of the US thinks, rightfully so, that this is politically motivated. I'm glad you and your 30+ upvotes can so clearly elucidate the absurdity of the claim that it isn't.
Drumpf’s income now is contributions from his supporters, which he launders through his PAC. I’m expecting in the future a massive indictment of Drumpf for fraud and money laundering with regard to his PAC’s. The wins just keep coming for Drumpf.
I think it's the other way around. He ran for president to avoid prosecution for 4-8 years.
@@michaelcicero2967ironically they tried giving him plenty of leeway to avoid seeming political. He still did the crimes so it’s technically not political, but I’m willing to bet it would’ve been swept under the rug if he didn’t keep pushing it
It's getting funnier when the lawyers are not even trying to deny anything that the prosecutors say Trump did. They are just throwing words like "total immunity from prosecution" like if that helps their case.
Seem like a "Hail Mary" move.
He's a Soverign Citizen!
I think this is the logical conclusion of trumpisms. You have this kabal of people that through ignorance or arrogance think they can simply ignore a problem or tell to go away and it will. Then inevitably you encounter a problem immune to your bs and you can’t do anything but dig yourself deeper.
alina habba is out of her league here. she had too much on her plate. trump is abnormal, constant lies and his lawyers having to clean up. no one what's to represent him. not a worthy client. lol
Evoking the longstanding legal right of "Nuh uh!"
Papers are being drawn up by Trump's lawyers now to institute the "My client is rubber and opposing council glue" defense.
Trump: "Your honour, you can't expect me to value my assets accurately, my hands are to tiny to count on."
As a friend of mine once simplified: “What happens when a toddler misbehaves and throws a tantrum? You take their toys away.”
Except this is more the neglectful parent who failed to take the kid's toys away when they first started misbehaving 5 years ago and now he's pulling this shit in public and becoming a massive embarrassment so they take away the kid's toys, send them to bed without dinner and ground them for the rest of their lives. Trying to do all the punishments all at once.
The "right" answer here would be for New York to prosecute such a high profile career criminal 40 or 50 years ago when he was just starting out and try to rehabilitate his business ethics before things got so out of control. Unfortunately they failed to do that so here we are - trying to do all the punishments all at once.
On one hand its a little unfair to the kid - they were never taught any better. But on the other hand, continuing to let it slide just means they also won't be taught any better next time or the time after that.
No, its more like the bad kid finally hit that age where he's considered to be an adult and suddenly all the stuff he used to do is no longer being handled with counseling and community service. Suddenly there's actual accountability and the kid thinks its unfair.
He's only being charged with the stuff he's actively involved in, though. No sign of the 70+ alleged SA's or charity scams being used to ratchet up the severity of the punishments or whatever. No "all the punishments all at once." Just no more free ride.
The metaphor would be correct if you would take away a toddlers toys permanently instead of giving them a timeout. That’s just child abuse and in this case weaponization of the DOJ
@@Epicname333 The Doj is supposed to be a weapon against corruption and criminality. That's its entire purpose for existing.
And, despite both the metaphor and Trump's childish behavior, he is NOT a child. Even now, he's not being charged with 1% of what he could be. 20 stolen documents, rather than 20,000. Zero charges related to his time in office.
@@Epicname333 What are you talking about? Its not "permanent". I mean at Trump's age and given the sheer number and seriousness of his crimes, he won't likely survive the sentence, but that doesn't make his sentence "permanent".
Also, its not "weaponization" of the DOJ to persecute crimes - that's their entire job. Your personal like or dislike of the accused is 100% irrelevant.
I used to hate hearing about Trump all of the time but not anymore.
Wait until he's back in the Oval Office.
EDIT: for those incapable of telling, I'm not a Trump nut, I'm just a guy who knows we live in the dumbest timeline.
Why would a Trump nut be watching Legal Eagle??
Nothing like watching Circus de Soleil levels of clownery for absolutely no direct cost to your own pocket.
@@whobitmynamethe cope is strong in this one 😂
@@ILikeToSayCaKaw He didn't say he'd be President at the time, just in the office.
@@whobitmynamewhat happens if he loses again, you gonna try another coup? Lol
Imagine having your previously lost court cases used as precedent against you in court
and it was your defense team the one to bring them to the table.
Can't imagine anyone who could imagine that tbh
It happens a lot actually
Its only precedent if it was affirmed by an appellate court. A trial court judgement is not precedent.
Few years back one of our corporate clients tried to steal our patents in court of law. In the meantime they tried to make us look as unreliable bussiness partner by deliberately damaging delivered goods and returning them as non compliant with order and also noncompliant to IEC standards. They were caught red handed creating false evidence. Court have dismissed all of their claims and called them legally untrustworthy. One week later client company value was so low, that it was legally transferred to our ownership as part of compensation and it was not even enough to cover all losses they created, as their market value plumetted 100-fold. Don't do stupid things in front of court of law.
i love the "oh wait its not alleged anymore i can clown on him" lmao
You would think a smart person who does shifty business deals would not bring attention to himself by running for president of the United States. He basically signed away his life because of his own ego. He deserves to lose it all and a jail cell.
Your mistake was ever assuming him to have any sort of intelligence.
Crooks k n o w other Crooks sadly it's called capitalism I've often wondered why would anyone want to be president you catch hell from the left you catch hell from the right and your life becomes an open book personally I think Trump was shocked that he won the presidency yes he drew all the attention to himself he used the presidency to enrich himself now the corrupt and Shady business deals are coming to light most certainly appears the long arm of the law has caught up with the shyster
And just think, it all started because of his penchant for cheating on his taxes.
To be fair, the guy has been getting away with everything scotfree for literally his entire life. He's what, in his 70s now? Its a hollow victory to imprison him most likely at the end of his life.
And all of his supporters need to follow suit. We have the records of everyone who voted for him. They are the real .issue. facing America, and even if Trump goes to prison, his supporters will still .exist.
That needs to be rectified.
I'm kind of really pissed how low down workers are on that hierarchy of debt repayment. I think unpaid labor should be the first priority over other creditors.
I strongly agree
Trickle down economics: the reasoning is that if other creditors don't get their money they won't be able to exploit theur own minions, making even more people not have money.
That's not how it actuslly works ofc, but that's how the law sees it
Unless it changed recently 'payroll' always comes first. Not paying payroll is a criminal offense, and it is the last thing done just before declaring bankruptcy.
Costs of administering the bankruptcy, claims by secured creditors, and debts for alimony & child support have priority in bankruptcy. Wages, salaries, unpaid leave and commissions (up to $10,000, if accrued within 6 months of cessation of business) have priority over other unsecured creditors.
The 4th tier on his chart cover's Trump's employees. Contractors and subcontractors in the 2d tier are secured creditors, and they pay their own employees.
They really went and attempted "trust me, bro" as a legal argument.
Watch for the next appeal when they invoke the "no tagbacks" rule of fraudulent accounting practices, and the "no u" defense for contempt of court.
Technically the legal argument seemed more like "well you shouldn't have trusted me, that's a skill issue."
The old Sideshow Bob "no harm, no foul" argument.
Or "trust me and not anyone else, bro, cannot emphasize how little you should trust ANYONE who contradicts me bro"
Seriously the lawyer forgetting to check the box for a jury trial is going to go down in history as one of the dumbest things in the history of lawyer-dom. I mean it has to be in like, the top 10 of the biggest examples of "for want of a nail" screwups in the history of the legal system, right?
this dos not make any sense, isn't that just going to lead to kangaroo court's?
like for what purpose dos having the option of having no jury achieve exactly?
I really don't understand how it's legal for clients to get screwed over by their lawyer messing up like that. It seems completely unfair, like a less extreme version of your lawyer accidentally saying you plead guilty.
Same shit with Alex Jones lawyer sending a shit ton of incriminating evidence to the prosecution by accident, I don't get how someone can just be screwed over by their lawyer that hard, I'd think the lawyer would be disbarred or the evidence not admissible.
Okay, but what if it was intentional?
@@lukasg4807 In Alex Jones's case, it's important to note that he'd sworn those documents (which he was legally required to hand over) didn't exist.
Sure it might not be entirely 'fair' to get screwed over by your lawyer like that, but when you ask your lawyer to commit crimes, what should the remedy be?
@@simonteesdale9752 Didn't the prosecuting lawyer contact Alex Jones lawyer giving him the chance to take back the files so they wouldn't be admissible? I don't really understand the rules around evidence but I thought the prosecution having to inform the defense and give them a chance to respond meant it wasn't something Alex Jones had to turn in.
Oh man. If this had happened when I was taking business law, we wouldn't have talked about anything else for weeks.
It makes me glad that the judge is doing his utmost to prevent Trump from getting out of this. He needs to be punished just like anyone else would be.
So you are okay with a lying and corrupt judge? The lender has them independently assessed, it's not Trump making arbitrary numbers. His lenders said that they were not overvalued but the judge is an idiot or he's corrupt. Or could be both. Developers are pissed off too because if he says that Mar-A-Lago is only worth 18 million then that devalues everything around it also. So yeah he's an idiot.
@@DarkMatterBurritoof course, it's on his side.
@xAquinasx so you are ok with a lying and corrupt politician?
@@DarkMatterBurrito If lying and corrupt meant properly holding those who commit crimes, then yes. But by definition, no republican judge lies or is corrupt if thats what it means.
@@CreativeName574no, I'm not. But there is such a thing as actual justice and not political revenge which you seem to be okay with no matter if what the judge is saying is objectively false.
Holy shit, it's been so long and Trump has done so much other crap that I COMPLETELY forgot about the real-estate fraud.
Imagine having a criminal who's done so much crime you've legit forgotten about their previous accusations that they're only NOW going to trial for
That's the thing, he's been at this con so long he genuinely doesn't know the difference between being a lying, cheating con-man and being a legitimate businessman. He thinks that legitimate business involves lying, cheating, conning, stealing, intimidating, and making shit up to deflect when you're called out on it.
I've said for years that fraud would be what would ultimately nail Trump since, unlike some other things he does, there's objective paper trails with hard evidence he's lied to banks and the government on his financial forms. I even remember way back when Michael Cohen was testifying before Congress that AOC specifically stood out in that hearing because she explicitly took time to ask Cohen detailed questions regarding Trump inflating his property values on financial forms. And I remember thinking to myself that the rest of that hearing was mainly showboating and soundbites, but AOC actually managed to pull out information that state and federal prosecutors could hypothetically use to ultimately charge Trump with fraud. And sure enough, here we are!
There's also that video phone MLM scheme trial that's going through the motions now... 🙂
Its kind of like Capone getting locked away for Income Tax Evasion
Trump had a novel defense strategy: commit so many crimes the prosecution wouldn't know where to start. They found a place to start
Listening to lawyers is fascinating, you can see the way your training effects the way you speak, the little rhetorical flourishes and substructure underneath, i really like that
Amen
It is truly shocking to hear "professional lawyers" use arguments that would get you laughed out of high school debate class like "if I hypothetically sold it to the richest men alive they might be willing to pay such an unreasonably high price, so I should be legally allowed to declare it's worth that much"
I'm genuinely baffled that you can graduate law school with that level of incompetence
It seems to me that the defense of "I am not guilty because people had the choice whether or not to believe me, so it's not my fault" is a common one Trump and his lawyers use.
It's similar to Fox News' _"It's not a lie because we didn't expect anybody to take us seriously"_ line of thought
@@QuantumHistorianto be fair, “it’s not a lie because no one would believe us” is a genuine defense. It’s just a bad defense when you call your program news and aren’t obviously satire. The Onion lies all the time and that’s fine. Jon Oliver mixes lies and truths but tries to make the difference clear. Fox just said whatever they wanted and mixed it all together. And official financial statements are a bad place for the lies.
And most abusers/cult leaders/politicians
"if they let me victimize them, it's their fault not mine"
Its been the defense of conmen for ages.
Any body else just wishing all these corrupt banks and shady corporations would get hit this hard for their misdeeds? Tired of seeing rampant fraud and corruption punished with a slap on the wrist fine.
And all those in the gov that have overstepped also. He had/has friends and even those he acted as if weren't friends to ( hillary and Bill). The laptop and it's owners father etc (those in both parties) you know drane the swamp that is Washington DC. Would be nice 🥰
The banks that loaned Trump money based on the false property values are going to take a hit. He doesn't have enough money to repay the loans and the properties aren't worth enough to cover the loans if they're sold.

Something I might never understand is how my Christian conservative family supports Trump because he claims to be pro life. "he's a known liar and cheater" met with "yes but he says he's pro life"
In my experience, for people like that, it's less about being good Christians and more about pushing their dogma on the rest of us. Jimmy Carter was a good christian, and they turned on him as soon as they realized he actually practiced what he preached.

The more I hear about these cases, the more convinced I am that Donald J Trump has no idea how money actually works.
He really doesn't. He inherited all of his money and assets from his dad and he's been squandering them for decades. The man's produced more flops than a fish on land.
He does that’s why he overvaluated his assets. He deserves a slap on the wrist for this instead of the corporate death penalty though. This is INSANE.
To hurt a narcissist who only cares for money is to clean him of his power that is money.
Because Trump was the one that made millions over the last 40 years in a political position, and contributed zero meaningful change. Right....
My dad worked for a Japanese corporate bank back in the 80s and 90s. Trump came to them back then asking for a loan. The Japanese bankers looked at the documents he provided, brought them to their team, and declined. Dad said that Trump was upset and tried to get them to loan him the money, saying something about he was good for the money and how he was successful. They still didn't loan to him because they said that their models showed that his financials were overinflated. So, I'm not sure why this is considered new info. It seems like it should've been well-known. I mean, it was definitely known at Dad's workplace.
Edit: Just to clarify, Dad's branch of the Japanese bank was located in NYC.
And that's when he had his most recent bankruptcies, so your dad's company avoided quite the loss there, and that's also why Trump shouldn't be considered to have never harmed anyone. He's stiffed lots of contractors to maintain this illusion and hurt previous lenders even if they're not the current ones.
Because the banks he was working with were dirty as well. They used trump to launder Russian money. He's as dirty as they get. Russia owns him. And Putin wants his money.😂 Careful Donnie don't walk past any high windows!!!!!
It prob didn't make the news either, being over in Japan. And Trump stiffing workers and contractors, Polish immigrants and other little guys, wasn't salty enough for the regular media to cover and stay on top of.
“So, I’m not sure why this is considered new info.” It isn’t, a lot of people knew that Trump was a con artist, specially people from NYC knew. But the idiots that will let him sh*t on their moms didn’t listen so this is where we are now.
Well, Trump himself is overinflated due way to many cheeseburgers. Seems to be a common theme for this man!
If the judge has to say "Apparently the point was not received" that's a bad sign.
the judge claimed that "tax value" and "market value" were the same thing and is in hot water for ignoring expert testimony and appointing himself as representative of a party without permission. Tax value is based on constants because market value fluctuates. Market value is based on the purchasing price as currently valued. let's use a pool as an example. The tax value would be on the pool itself. The market value could include things like: how much water is included, cleaning services, the current condition of the pool, how many people visit the pool, etc As an example, compare market prices of food in different locations. At the supermarket, hot dogs are about a dollar or two. At a ball park or in certain states, they can be five dollars or more. So, which is the market value? $1 or $5? the answer is NEITHER because those are under different conditions and the market value would be determined by either a national average for store price OR based on location.
@@nathanielbass771 I had to do tax and accounting as part of my degree, and what I can remember is that: Tax value and Market Value are not the same, but they also aren't several million dollars apart. Because additions like "water", cleaning services and conditions aren't that big a consideration. Market value still predominantly is valued based on the pool itself. You might get a few hundred dollars to maybe a couple thousand dollars in difference. Trumps valuation is fraud, blatant and brazen.
Also There is quite literally no article that has been produced suggesting that the Judge appointed himself as a representative.
LOL @@nathanielbass771
@@nathanielbass771 your example doesn't hold water. Trump & co-conspirators weren't claiming that their "hot dog" had different values in different markets.
They were claiming that, at the ball park because some people don't buy a $5 hot dog, their hot dog is only worth $1. But when talking to investors they're saying that there's a scenario in which a starving Jeff Bezos would pay $7,000,000 for the same hot dog so the fair market value is $7,000,000.
It's a bald face lie if you bother to glance at the facts.
@@nathanielbass771 Fact is, overstating an object's size by a large amount in order to make it appear more valuable, does indicate neither tax nor market value, but an imaginary one. And that's just one point of several.

A disclaimer that says the documents have not been audited? That in itself is a reason to look more closely at the Trump organization. If his financial documents have not been audited, then what the heck did the people who were supposed to audit the books of his company doing?

@@citronm1405 I don't remember ever being able to take a standard deduction and being able to itemize on the same return. Am I wrong about that? It doesn't make a lot of sense that you would be able to take both because you would effectively be getting a tax break on the same purchase twice.

If corporations were actually people, they COULD be sentenced to death. However, the SCOTUS was factually and legally wrong. You can't punish a corporation under the law with all of the same penalties under the law that an individual person can be punished with, such as imprisonment and death. People who work for a corporation can be imprisoned or executed, but a corporation itself cannot. Since our legal system is *supposed* to treat people equally under the law, if an entity cannot be treated equally under the law, then it should not be considered a legal person. It can be considered an organization of people, or even a proto-person, but not a person. Not if it has to, by the nature of it existence, be treated differently under the law then a person can.
Can the SCOTUS force a corporation to be dissolved?
Imagine stealing 100 million dollars, using that million dollars to invest and make 15 million dollars in profit, then returning the original 100 million and acting like you should be able to keep the 15 million in profit.
Like the original owner couldn't have made 15 million in profits too if they had access to their money.
That's what Trump is trying to do here, in essence.
"No one was harmed here." is a terrible argument. If I loan someone a million dollars because they put up property as collateral saying it is 1 million, but in reality, that property is only work 250k, if you don't pay me back, I am out my money; but even if you do, I could have actually given that loan to someone who did actually have it. So, the argument "no one is harmed" is just wrong. Money isn't infinite, money given to you is money that can't be given to someone else.
Trump’s argument is like saying that speeding at 80mph in a 25mph residential area is legal, because somehow nobody was killed. And anyway, I went to a highway later where the speed limit was 80mph.
And saying it was worth it because I'm sure the next street will be 95 mph anyways
Or simply replacing the speed limit signs with ones of your own making, and stating "risk of speed is subjective and depends on the skill of the driver. I could go to any race track and find skilled drivers who could safely navigate going 100 in a 25 zone, thus the zone should accommodate drivers of such skill at all times, even if it's only hypothetical".
@@Real_MisterSir Considering the long list of his bankruptcies, and the fact that most bank refuse to give him any loan due to unreliability and bad credit, he is hardly a skilled racer in this story:D

@@grmpEqweer I thought this too, but that would actually work in his favor. Double jeopardy applies to this. So if he is convicted and then proves that it was an unfair trial (a mistrial) then everything has to be repealed and he can't be sued for it again. He would in fact get off, scott free, but they didn't go that route. They didn't go the route that would quite literally get him off rather easily because it would not be hard today to prove there was bias against him in a jury. Yet they didn't do that, they didn't go the easy way, which means the lawyer very likely did it on purpose.
@@umbraviventemif its because of a mistrial, double jeopardy doesn't always stick
The fraud case brought by the NY Attorney General is a civil action, not criminal. Double jeopardy principles don’t apply as a result.
When a lawyer casts aside the word "allegedly" and just says "it's been proven", you not only know it's indisputable fact, but you also know that person/business has no case to sue.

The GOP should buy Trump brand and use AI and tell everyone Trump isn't the real Trump and listen to there AI
@@yesyes3010 are you dim? He wants to dissolve the constitution!
They're treating him like any other organized criminal; You hit them where their money is and you take away their ability to launder it.
That's it exactly.
Trump can't keep his massive cons going when he has no access to funding and markets. Especially real estate markets.
Democrat party is the most organized criminal enterprise in American history. They own all the DA's and the judges.
I thoroughly enjoyed this. Best bed time story I’ve ever heard. Ty and good night 😊
I don't understand why and how rich people cann't get enough. Most already have more money to spend in one lifetime and then they go around scamming people for more
I love the fact that 90% of why trump gets in so much shit is not even because of the original crime but in his really poor attempts to cover them up 😂
Even better: he continues doing the same crimes after facing an injunction and a court ordered monitor.
@pierrecurie or he brags about getting away with it, when there was no cause to investigate it at the time, BECAUSE he covered it up.
@rgmartin2536 oh he 100% did the crime, he has straight up confessed to most of them but the sentence would be a lot lighter if he just went through the normal process instead of trying to 1 up the system and destroy evidence and interfere with things
@@luissanchez-ue1dt No, he really didn't. It's too the point that you are just making up loes to feel good.
@@springerworks002cope harder
6:54 Trump saying there is no crime because no one was harmed is like a drunk driver saying that he shouldn't get a DUI because he didn't hit anybody
Except it's worse than that. Saying that nobody was harmed is simply false. The banks _were_ harmed. If Trump had not inflated the value of his properties, he would have received less favourable loan terms. In other words, the banks would have made more profit from him if he'd been honest. Therefore, lying cost the banks money.
@@beeble2003didn't he cause a bank to go under?
Plus look at all the small businesses that went under because he didn't pay them for their services
@@beeble2003like saying you only hit one person
@Souls4Roca officer, I ran that kid over when I was drunk, but he didn't die, so... not guilty?
LegalEagle out here making me feel good about the country.
If he's claiming so and so would buy it for 10x it's actual worth, it stinks of money laundering and makes me wonder what deals he's made with these people for them to be willing to pay him that much money for essentially nothing.
