So much winning lol
And of course you’re there for it open wide

Oh, don’t worry whenever he loses the appeal. Aristocrat will be right there with an excuse of why it happened.
 

 

And what will you do if he wins his appeal?

You asked why I thought he’d win the appeal. His team is taking the case apart piece by piece. Now they go after this piece. Lot of flaws in the case. Like it or not it’s what will happen. 
Like the value of mar a lago. They valued it at 18 mil when it’s very clearly a near billion dollar piece of land. Does that make sense to you?

 

Never mind that, again, who is the aggrieved party (except for TDS'ers)?

Well after the court judgement today, we know why he wants Lara Trump to head up the RNC. He plans to vacuum up every penny there to help offset his legal judgements. To Trump, money donated to the Republican Party = his money.

Thats no what happened. If you followed it the judge on the first day of the trial said he didn’t do that “"I specifically said in the summary-judgment decision, I'm not valuating properties," Engoron said on October 2, the first day of the trial. "Please, press, stop saying I'm valuing it at $18 million. There was a tax assessment in that range."

The $18 million was a tax assessment, not the judges assessment on the value.

 

The judges main issue with the fraud was that the Trump Organization did conservation easements in perpetuity. These easements made it so that the club could only be used as a social club. However, knowing this, the Trump organization still valued the property as a private residence.

 

In 2020, the Trump organization also appealed that a $26.6 million tax appraisal was too high. They later rescinded their appeal and agreed with this valuation.

 

The court also points out that a billion dollar valuation on the property would be 400 percent higher than the next highest valued property in the country.

 

In order to appeal the decision, Trump will have to pay the fine. It’s dubious that will happen. But you’re welcome to donate to his GoFundMe:
