A CORRUPT, TRUMP HATING JUDGE, WHO CAME UP WITH A CRAZY, OUT OF THIN AIR AWARD, IN ORDER TO DAMAGE ME POLITICALLY, AND NOT ALLOW ME TO USE ANY OF THE LARGE AMOUNT OF CASH I HAVE BUILT UP OVER THE YEARS, THROUGH HARD WORK, INSIGHT, INSTINCT, AND DILIGENCE[& lots of fraud], ON MY POLITICAL CAMPAIGN FOR PRESIDENT..."

so obvious lying fuckhead is telling his dumb cult he planned to spend tons of money on the campaign... that's why he's taken tens of millions of campaign donations to pay his legal fees so far... gotta use campaign donations on himself, so he can use his own money on the campaign... yeah, makes total sense if you don't think about it

& not like in prior campaigns he also didn't just funnel money to himself even w/o all the legal fees...

anyway, yet another obvious & purposeful lie directed right to his dumb fucking cultists who he expects to believe it

we love the guy who deliberately & obviously lies specifically to deceive us!!! (VERY FUCKING OFTEN)

cult

(also, i'm sure he's lying about having $500 million cash (though maybe the false claim will get him in trouble since he's complaining he can't pay) & obviously lying about the judge coming up w/ the figure 'out of thin air'... an impossibility, there's no punitive damages)

Have YOU heard any defense of the $450 million judgement that isn't totally insane?

You know, the judgement that was pursued by an AG who ran on a platform of "I'm gonna get Trump on something" (totally normal non-banana republic behavior), and has obsessively investigated Trump since gaining office before coming up with a novel use of a law to prosecute him in a manner never done in NY before? Not to mention that it was a victimless "crime" - trying to sell someone that your asset is worth as much as possible - that is common in the R/E world, and in which the banks themselves have said they wouldn't have changed any of their loan terms or psyment provisions as a result of his puffery, and by the way they did their own appraisals so they had an independent valuation of the properties anyway? How about the calculation that Engoron - a judge who has CLEARLY had it out for Trump - used to come up with the judgement amount, that has no connection whatspever to how damages from real estate-related torts are normally carried out, resulting in a fine so blatantly inflated that it credibly represents a violation of the Eighth Amendment? An amount that's clearly designed to say fuck you to Trump the presidential candidate, not Trump the real estate investor?

Are you seriously okay with ANY of this?

a portion of the fraud ruling that seems useful:

"
...
Trump Park Avenue
-----------------
When valuing unsold units in Trump Park Avenue for Donald Trump’s SFCs, McConney used
offering plan prices from an internal Trump International Realty spreadsheet, while wholly
disregarding “current market values” listed on the exact same spreadsheet. Moreover,
McConney “intentionally removed” the current market values column from the spreadsheet
before forwarding it to Donald Bender at Mazars, despite McConney’s knowledge and
representation that he understood that the SFCs had to reflect the estimated current value. PX-
793; TT 629-631, 706-708.

McConney was aware that as of September 2011, there were 12 rent stabilized apartments at
Trump Park Avenue. PX 3041; TT 709-711. Despite this knowledge, McConney, in
consultation with Allen Weisselberg, intentionally valued the rent stabilized apartments not just
as if they were unregulated, but at an aspirational offering price, resulting in overvaluations of as
much as 700%. TT 711-712; NYSCEF Doc. No. 1531 at 23.

When Patrick Birney helped prepare the SFCs supporting data, neither Weisselberg nor
McConney ever informed him of this gross overvaluation, or of any appraisals of the rent-
stabilized units at Trump Park Avenue. TT 1282-1283.


Seven Springs
-------------
From 2011-2014, when valuing a plot of land upon which seven mansions could be built in
Bedford, McConney relied on valuations provided by Eric Trump, who advised McConney to
value the seven-mansion development at $161 million on the 2012 SFC. This valuation assumed
a host of future events that had not—and as hindsight has shown, would not—occur, including
that the Trump Organization had received legal permission to develop the lots, that the mansions
were already built and available for sale, and that there would be no construction or development
costs associated with building the mansions. PX 719; TT 713-718. Eric Trump further advised
McConney to use these values again in 2013 and 2014. TT 713-720; PX 719, 793, 1075. Eric
Trump was aware that the values he was providing would be used on his father’s SFCs. PX
1075; TT 3315-3316, 3339.

Upon realizing that building the seven mansions would be neither feasible nor profitable, the
Trump Organization, through outside counsel Sheri Dillon, commissioned an appraisal from
Cushman & Wakefield to determine the value of the development rights for the plot of land upon
which the Trump Organization had previously considered building the seven mansions.

In August 2013, Eric Trump advised McConney to continue to use the undiscounted value of
$161 million for the seven-mansion development, despite having received an initial estimate of
approximately $5.5 million from Cushman & Wakefield. PX 908, 3296; TT 3342-3347.

On September 8, 2014, David McArdle, of Cushman & Wakefield, advised Eric Trump verbally
that he had appraised the seven-mansion development at $14 million. Notwithstanding, a mere
four days later, Eric Trump advised McConney to continue using the $161 million value. PX
169, 181; TT 1996-1997, 3353-3354.


Briarcliff
-----------
In August 2013, Eric Trump retained David McArdle of Cushman & Wakefield to appraise the
value of developing 71 condominium units on undeveloped land in Briarcliff, New York. PX
157, 3197; TT 1930, 3368-3371.

Despite having retained Cushman & Wakefield to value the 71 units, in a September 25, 2013
phone call Eric Trump advised McConney to value the 71 units at over $101 million, based on
comparable sales in the area. PX 719; TT 738-745. Less than one month later, by October 16,
2013, Eric Trump was aware that McArdle had determined the value of the 71-unit development
to be $45 million. PX 1465, 3201; TT 3374-3375. Notwithstanding that the 2014 SFC had not
yet been submitted, Eric Trump failed to advise McConney that the appraised value was less than
half of what he had reported the value to be. TT 738-744. Each year from 2015 to 2018, Eric
Trump advised McConney to leave the $101 million as is, despite his knowledge of the much
lower $45 million appraisal. TT 744-747.

Moreover, by October 16, 2013, Eric Trump was aware that the Trump Organization only had
the right to build 31, not 71, units. PX 3261; TT 2695-2702. Notwithstanding, the SFCs for
2013-2018 continued to reflect that the Trump Organization had the right to build 71 units. PX
742, 758, 774; TT 2701-2702.


Mar-a-Lago
----------------
In 1995, Donald Trump signed a “Deed of Conservation and Preservation” in which he gave up
the right to use Mar-a-Lago for any purpose other than as a social club (the “1995 Deed”).

In 2002, Donald Trump granted a conservation easement to the National Trust for Historic
Preservation and signed a deed in which, in addition to conveying the rights to develop or use
Mar-a-Lago for any purpose other than a social club, the Deed further “limits changes to the
Property including, without limitation, the division or subdivision of the Property for any
purpose, including use as single family homes, the interior renovation of the mansion, which
may be necessary and desirable for the sale of the property as a single family residential estate,
the construction of new buildings and the obstruction of open vistas.” NYSCEF Doc. No. 1531
at 25-26 (emphasis added).

In exchange for executing the 2002 Deed, in which he gave away, in perpetuity, the right to
develop or use the property as a single-family residence, Donald Trump paid significantly lower
property taxes on Mar-a-Lago. PX 1730; TT 3533-3535.

McConney had in his possession, since at least 2011, a copy of the 2002 Deed, restricting the use
of Mar-a-Lago as a single-family residence. TT 773-775; PX 1013; DX 360. McConney was
also aware, when he prepared the SFCs supporting data, that the entire basis of the valuations of
Mar-a-Lago rested on the premise that it could be sold as a private residence to an individual.
Each and every year, he valued Mar-a-Lago as if it could be sold as a single-family residence,
notwithstanding the deeded prohibitions against such use in perpetuity. TT 759, 775.

Further, when Patrick Birney took over for McConney in preparing the valuations for the SFCs,
Weisselberg and McConney both concealed from Birney the 1995 and 2002 deeds. TT 1258-
1259. When valuing Mar-a-Lago on the SFCs from 2016-2021, McConney and Weisselberg
selected comparables for Birney to use that were exclusively for private residences. TT 1248-
1256, 1268-1282; see, e.g., PX 3026.

There is no legal gray area surrounding the permanent nature of the deed restrictions. PX 1013.

Accordingly, there can be no mistake that Donald Trump’s valuation of Mar-a-Lago from 2011-
2021 was fraudulent.


TNGC-LA
-------------
McConney was aware that Cushman and Wakefield had appraised the property known as Trump
National Golf Club LA (“TNGCLA”) and valued the golf club portion at $16 million and the
entire property at just over $82 million as of March 2015. Notwithstanding, in the 2015 SFC,
McConney valued the golf club at $56.6 million and the entire property at just over $140 million.
PX 1464, 731.


Aberdeen
-------------
Aberdeen is the name of a golf course and adjacent land that the Trump Organization owns in
Aberdeen, Scotland. The value assigned to Aberdeen was comprised of two parts: a value for the
golf course and a value for the development of the non-golf course property, the latter of which
is the focus here. Developing any of the non-golf course property required that the local Scottish
authorities approve any proposed plans.

Despite receiving permission to develop only 500 homes as year-round private residences on the
non-golf course property, the 2014-2018 SFCs valued Aberdeen not only as if permission existed
to develop 2500 private year-round residences, which it did not, but also as if those residences
had already been built. The valuations also fail to account for any development (i.e.,
construction) costs associated with making the hypothetical residences a reality. PX 719, 731,
742, 758, 774.

Despite receiving a July 2017 appraisal by Ryden LLP valuing the development profit of private
homes at Aberdeen at a maximum of £33,296 per home, from 2017-2018 the Trump
Organization valued the development of private homes at £83,164 per home, allegedly based on
a September 18, 2014 email from an unidentified “Registered Valuer for Ryden LLP,” which
more than doubles the actual appraisal amount. PX 774, 1450.

In 2019, the Trump Organization began valuing each home at £106,969, more than triple the last
appraised value, and the SFCs supporting data represented that the Trump Organization had
permission to build 2035 private residences, when it still only had permission for 500. PX 843.

In 2020 and 2021, the Trump Organization valued each home at £68,781 and represented that it
had permission to build 1200 private residences, when it still only had permission for 500. PX
1352, PX 3041 at ¶ 219

afaik the damages valued based on rates he would've gotten w/o sweetheart deals over bullshit figures (definitely not 'out of thin air')... if appeals courts lower it, i don't care

your side pretending no fraud occurred, or that it's fine to knowingly lie to apparently any degree is fucked up (we aren't talking 10%-30%... 1100% seems a bit much, no?)... just like your automatic full defense of any of his actions like overturning election w/ bullshit lies & purposely trying to go around the courts or keeping any classified docs he wants (which he still insists is the law)

"
Doral
-----
At the same time the Trump Organization was soliciting terms from Deutsche Bank’s Private
Wealth Management Division for the Doral loan, it was shopping for loans from other
commercial real estate lenders, including Deutsche Bank’s own commercial real estate group. In
November 2011, Deutsche Bank’s commercial real estate group offered the Trump Organization
a $130 million loan at LIBOR + 8%, with a LIBOR floor of 2 – a minimum 10% interest rate.
PX 369; NYSCEF No. 501 at ¶ 575. Instead, Donald Trump agreed to a full-recourse loan (i.e.,
with an unconditional personal guarantee) with the much more favorable terms of an initial
interest rate of LIBOR + 2.25% during a renovation period and LIBOR + 2% after renovations.
PX 293.

Donald Trump’s personal guarantee for the Doral loan required him to certify the truth and
accuracy of his SFC and to maintain $50 million in unencumbered liquidity and a minimum net
worth of $2.5 billion. PX 1303, 3041 at ¶¶ 484, 486-489; TT 5429-5430. The guarantee further
required him to submit an annual compliance certificate and an updated SFC to confirm his
compliance with the loan covenants, the failure of which could have triggered a default. TT
1022-1023, 1027-1028, 1052-1054, 5337; PX 1303; DX 212

...
Flores was also a conduit with a firm, Marvin F. Poer & Company (“Poer”), that handled
property tax assessment appeals in Florida for the Trump Organization. TT 2762; PX 3211. In
2020, the property appraiser determined the market value of Doral to be $78 million, a fact of
which, emails reveal, Flores was acutely aware. PX 3209, PX 3211. Notwithstanding, the
supporting data for the 2020 and 2021 SFCs value Doral at $345 million and $297 million,
respectively. PX 857, 1501. Flores denied any recollection of this, despite the emails that
demonstrate his active participation. TT 2772-2773.

In 2020, the Trump Organization hired Poer to file an appeal of the 2020 tax assessment of Mar-
a-Lago, claiming that the assessed, taxed value of $26.6 million was too high. PX 3170, 3214,
3041 at ¶ 199. As part of the appeal, the Trump Organization explicitly stated that the property
was commercial, and not residential. PX 3170. Two months after filing the appeal, the Trump
Organization withdrew it, stating that it agreed with the $26.6 million determination of value.
PX 3170. 3214; TT 2774- 2777. Flores conceded that that “determination was based on Mar-a-
Lago being categorized as a commercial property.” TT 2776-2777.

When presented with additional emails and documents found in Flores’ possession that
unquestionably reveal that he absolutely understood that Mar-a-Lago was exclusively a
commercial, not residential, property, Flores continued to deny any recollection, stating “[t]hat’s what the email says. I don’t recall.” TT 2777-2781; PX 1382. Notwithstanding, every SFC
from 2011-2021 valued Mar-a-Lago not only as if it could be sold as a private residence, but also
as if there were no deed restrictions burdening it; the SFCs’ values for that decade range from
$405 million to $739 million.

assuming they even did (only heard Trump say so), he still owes money to the banks so they have reason not to anger them

also, saw this while briefly looking (testimony from Deutsche bank guy):

"Before approving the credit facility, the Private Wealth Management Division consulted Deutsche Bank’s Valuation Services Group about market conditions to arrive at a conservative
estimate of the value of the commercial real estate should a need arise to liquidate during “bad market conditions.” TT 1013-1016. In so doing, the Valuation Services Group applied a 50%
“haircut” to the valuations presented by the client, which Haigh affirmed was the “standardized
number for commercial real assets.”6 TT 1016, 1041."

50% won't cut it w/ Trump's bullshit...

feel free to read the "Claudia Markarian" section on pg 20 (you wont)

"
Claudia Markarian, previously Claudia Mouradian, was an underwriter at Zurich Insurance from
2010-2020...
Markarian recalled that when reviewing the Trump financials for her underwriting
responsibilities, she was prohibited from retaining a copy of any financials, and she was only permitted to view them at Trump Tower with Allen Weisselberg or Jeffrey McConney, or both in the room at all times. Markarian testified that this was a “rare requirement by a customer.”
PX 3324 at 17-18, 24-25, 58-59

During these on-site reviews at the Trump Organization, which occurred in late 2018 and early
2020, Markarian was shown the 2018 and 2019 SFCs, respectively, which listed as assets real
estate holdings with valuations that Allen Weisselberg represented to Markarian had been
determined each year by an outside professional appraisal firm. PX 1561, 1552, 3324 at 25-32.
Markarian considered Weisselberg’s representation, which she recorded in her contemporaneous
notes, to be favorable and an indication that the valuations were reliable. PX 1561, 1552, 3324
at 51-75. Notwithstanding Weisselberg’s explicit representation to Markarian, the Trump
Organization never retained a professional appraisal firm to prepare any of the property
valuations for the 2018 and 2019 SFCs. TT 952-955
...
Markarian testified that she “relied on what [Weisselberg] said” about the valuations being
determined by professional appraisers when she made her recommendation that the surety
program be renewed in 2019 and 2020...Markarian testified that at the time,
she had no reason to doubt that Weisselberg was being truthful and honest in his representations
and that she accepted at face value his representations about the values contained in the SFCs.PX 3324 at 28-53
...
When presented with Weisselberg’s testimony that confirmed that the Trump Organization did
not engage any professional appraisers to perform valuations of the properties in the SFCs,
Markarian testified that Weisselberg’s misrepresentations would have been “material” to her
analysis, as “without the third party it – it means that there’s –it could possibly be less reliance
on the numbers that are presented to me.” PX 3324 at 52-54. Markarian further testified that
Weisselberg’s misrepresentations about the cash on hand, and specifically misrepresenting
Donald Trump’s partnership interest in Vornado as cash available to him, would also have been
“material” in her analysis to approve the renewals.

***
Markarian stated that because the Trump Organization is a private company, not a publicly
traded company, there is very little that underwriters can do to learn about its financial condition, other than to rely on the financial documents that the client provides to them. PX 3324 at 57. She explained that because of that, “it’s important to know that our customers are being truthful to us. If they’re not giving us true information or accurate information, that greatly impacts our underwriting decisions.” ***

Real estate insiders question how Trump fraud judge valued Mar-a-Lago

By Matt Egan, CNN
Updated 9:13 PM EDT, Tue October 3, 2023

A New York judge ruled last week that former President Donald Trump inflated the value of his Mar-a-Lago estate by an eye-popping 2,300%.

That finding, part of shocking ruling that found Trump and his adult sons liable for fraud, was just one of multiple examples in which Judge Arthur Engoron found the Trump real estate empire to have been grossly inflated in value.

But the Mar-a-Lago finding in particular is raising eyebrows among real estate and legal experts because of the metric Judge Engoron relied on: the county tax assessor’s appraisal value.

“From 2011-2021, the Palm Beach County Assessor appraised the market value of Mar-a-Lago at between $18 million and $27.6 million,” Engoron wrote in his ruling.

The judge noted Trump valued Mar-a-Lago at between $426.5 million and $612 million, “an overvaluation of at least 2,300%, compared to the assessor’s appraisal.”

But it’s widely known that the tax assessor valuation is typically, though not always, less than what a property would command on the open market.

In other words, it’s not an apples-to-apples comparison.

“Appraisal values and market values are just not the same thing. It’s a well-known fact,” said Eli Beracha, chair of the school of real estate at Florida International University. “That’s especially true for properties that are unique. And it’s very easy to argue this is a unique property.”

Dina Goldentayer, executive director of sales at Douglas Elliman in South Florida, said in her experience in the ultra-luxury marketplace the tax assessor’s valuation isn’t considered when trying to value a property.

“He wouldn’t make a very good realtor,” Goldentayer said of the judge. “It’s so widely known that it’s not an accurate determination of market value.”

Goldentayer added, “If there is a ranking as to what would have the lowest valuation, it’s the tax assessor’s office, followed by Zillow and then the realtor’s valuation is the highest.”

It’s not correct to assume that a tax assessment and market value are the same thing, according to Jonathan Miller, president and CEO of Miller Samuel Inc., a real estate appraisal company in New York City.

“They can be, in some markets they are the same thing, but in most others they are not,” Miller said.

Melissa Cintron, partner in the insurance defense and corporate and real estate practice groups at Harrington Ocko & Monk, said it’s “not contestable” that Mar-a-Lago is worth more than $28 million based on improvements and a market analysis.

Of course, just because the tax assessment value used by the judge may have lowballed the value of Mar-a-Lago, doesn’t necessarily mean Trump used a fair valuation for Mar-a-Lago. That point is up for debate.

“It is certainly not clear what the value is,” said Miller. “The test is what the market would suss out for the property. The challenge is that isn’t a single-family house.”

"Real estate insiders question how Trump fraud judge valued Mar-a-Lago"

so some reporter bought into Trump's bullshit

nowhere in the ruling is "Mar-a-lago is $18 million, not $x (you people weirdly never even cite what Trump claims to 'defend' his valuation), thus 'guilty'"

let's never mention Mar-a-lago again, & proceed w/ trying to explain how Trump didn't commit fraud

see Seven Springs property (omg, a property that's not Mar-a-lago), extremely straight forward... they got it appraised for it's actual sale value, w/ Eric working the ref wanting a high value, they got a figure of $14 million... yet instead claim $161 million (not a typo, not 16, but 161), which is known to be based on 7 mansions being built & other things which didn't exist at all & still don't

or see his Trump Tower apartment... weirdly just tripling the square feet then determining the value entirely off $ per sq feet (w/ generous number for that as well)

-----

are you claiming Trump would get 0.0 benefit in terms from massively overstating wealth?

if so, why did they bother doing it?

if so, what the fuck is the point of banks requiring the statements & why do they specifically need to certify to them?


also, note what i'm sure you didn't read about how it's hard for underwriters to evaluate a private company's condition:
"Markarian stated that because the Trump Organization is a private company, not a publicly traded company, there is very little that underwriters can do to learn about its financial condition, other than to rely on the financial documents that the client provides to them"

(also i did note awhile back about the tax assessor value not being the sale value for Mar-a-lago... but that issue doesn't apply to ANY OTHER PROPERTY mentioned... probably why Trump NEVER MENTIONS ANY OTHER PROPERTY)

& $18 million (nor $29 million) is not what makes him 'guilty', nor involved in the damage calculation, & Mar-a-lago is not central AT ALL

plus at the end of your own article
"Of course, just because the tax assessment value used by the judge may have lowballed the value of Mar-a-Lago, doesn’t necessarily mean Trump used a fair valuation for Mar-a-Lago. "

Did you just completely miss the part of Engoron's ruling where he literally cites the $18mm number in support of his conclusion that Mar-a-Lago is overvalued?

If he didn't think the appraised value was indicative of actual market value, then why reference it at all?

He even goes on to compare the Trump's stated market value to appraised value, claiming (while using some sort of idiot's math) that Trump's numbers represented a, quote, "overvaluation of at least 2,300%, compared to the assessor's appraisal."

Yes, at no point does Engoron explicitly say "I formally conclude that this property is worth exactly $18,000,000.00," but he clearly believed that it pointed in the direction of what the actual value was.

Yet here you are, devoting multiple posts to calling Trump totally off base because he said that Engoron valued it at $18mm, even though the ruling does substantially lean in that direction, and you even (falsely) accuse a CNN reporter of all people of buying into Trump's bullshit, even though you later note that that same reporter felt compelled to say "yeah Trump's valuation might still be bullshit"...unbelievable.

i noted awhile ago the tax assessor issue back when speculating maybe the Trump team purposely didn't correct it to have one flaw in the case for Trump to harp on (as by god, he's done relentlessly... though NEVER mentioning 'tax assessor')


can you acknowledge the case is not about Mar-a-lago? are you even hearing this? or has Trump saying it 1000 times made you unable to notice anything else?


also i posted a section from the ruling on Mar-a-lago above... it mentions nothing about $18 million or 2,300%, it talks of how their valuations ignored all the deed restrictions

but as i've also said repeatedly, Mar-a-lago NOT being $18 Million makes Trump 'innocent' exactly 0%

yes, where it again notes their disregarding of deed restrictions

show me the defense EVER pointing out the tax assessor value is not meant to be the property value

the judge isn't responsible to do independent research, he goes by what's presented

& given the damages ruling doesn't seem to mention it, maybe it was resolved between

it doesn't exonerate Trump at all... it's important to bring up (& they didn't for some reason), but doesn't affect any of the other properties nor make Trump's valuation not grossly inflated (as they admit ignoring all the significant deed restrictions)

------------------------

as to Letitia James, i don't approve of the unprofessional gloating

although shocked that you would put "Our rule of law is literally fucked if this is the standard you are prepared to accept" when Trump has been completely unprofessional publicly daily for 8 years (including about James, repeatedly calling her racist & "Peekaboo James" which i don't even understand, but presumably must be some 1950's reference insult... certainly not professionalism)

also, his CONSTANT "Mar-a-lago is not $18 million!!!!!!" (over 100 times i bet, heard it 4x today) while NEVER ONCE explaining 'the tax assessor value is not meant to be the property value'... what mentally competent professional would do this?

ALWAYS about him... & w/ 100% false info... FISA was ONLY used on Carter Page, NOTHING to do w/ him & not to 'spy on his campaign'

never 'i'm against warrantless wiretapping of Americans'... i can't even imagine him saying such a thing... (& the current provision at play doesn't have anything to do w/ that or what was used on Carter Page anyway... but that's obviously well beyond the scope of Trump's extraordinarily limited capability to understand)

incredibly obviously unfit guy:
"
Crooked Joe Biden and his crew of Hacks and Thugs, led by Merrick Garland and Deranged Jack Smith, are working overtime to try to illegally intimidate and harass respected Federal Judge Aileen Cannon. They are calling her terrible names, wrongfully threatening her with Impeachment, and disrespecting her, all because they want her to act like the dishonest, politically biased, and conflicted Judges in New York, and not like the fair and impartial Judge that she is. These Persecutors are using Third World tactics in a corrupt ploy to “play the ref.” However, no matter how hard he tries, Deranged Jack Smith will never be Coach Bobby Knight, a Basketball Legend for all time, who led the last undefeated team in College Basketball. Coach Knight would always “play the refs,” but not to change the last call, to change the next one….

Page 2: The Weaponization of Law Enforcement, the Harassment of Fair Judges, and rampant Election Interference cannot be allowed to continue. We have to end the Witch Hunts, win the most important Election in our History on November 5th, and Make America Great Again!
"


TLDR: Trump being against harassment of judges..., plus standard accusing people of crimes w/ no evidence of crimes... yadda yadda... totally normal stuff...

Because until Trump spoke up about FISA, no Republicans had ANY legitimate beefs with it? Is that your claim?


Because if so, sounds like Trump has had a positive influence on the debate about mass surveillance (which I and many others have strongly opposed since the fucking 2000s...but since history for you only begins in 2016, feel free to call me an unthinking cultist).

"sounds like Trump has had a positive influence on the debate"

as might a monkey throwing shit & deciding to be against FISA?


i think a president should base his decisions on real information... call me crazy

other examples:
there are fine reasons to oppose banning TikTok... but being against it as you think it would benefit Facebook which you think is bad as you think Zuckerberg did illegal things to help Biden in 2020 is NOT one such a reason...

ending the Iran Deal while only ever citing 2 false things also was fucked up...

this guy is a fucking ignorant nut child, it's absolutely absurd he was ever in power, & even more ridiculously absurd so many people think he should be put back into power


(also there's
"I will appoint a real special ‘prosecutor’ to go after the most corrupt president in the history of the USA, Joe Biden" ~Trump
while raging against Biden using 'lawfare' against him, w/ NO EVIDENCE Biden behind any of it, & no reason for him to have to be... J6 committee had criminal referrals & demonstrated clear wrong-doing, & the FBI 'raided' Mar-a-lago & found heaps of the contraband they were seeking, thus yeah, guilty of crimes... he has yet to offer any defense for other than lying about the PRA

so him actually running on what he & thus your side are complaining about, & meh, who cares...)

fuckhead liar:

"
Who will explain for me, to my wonderful son, Barron, who is a GREAT Student at a fantastic School, that his Dad will likely not be allowed to attend his Graduation Ceremony, something that we have been talking about for years, because a seriously Conflicted and Corrupt New York State Judge wants me in Criminal Court on a bogus “Biden Case”...
The Judge, Juan Merchan, is preventing me from proudly attending my son’s Graduation. Seems very unfair, doesn’t it? ...
"
&
"
In Addition to being prohibited from attending my son Barron’s High School Graduation, I have just learned that the highly biased Judge in the Soros “appointed” D.A. Alvin Bragg’s Witch Hunt Case, will not allow me to attend the historic PRESIDENTIAL IMMUNITY argument in front of The United States Supreme Court, on Thursday, April 25th (next week!). This shows such great disdain and disrespect for our Nation’s Highest Court, especially for a topic so important as Presidential Immunity, without which our Country would never be the same!

fuckhead liar's son (Eric):
"
Judge Merchan is truly heartless in not letting a father attend his son’s graduation

Fact: the judge hasn't even ruled on whether Trump can go, but they ALWAYS HAVE TO FUCKING LIE (& in dramatic fashion)

& even if not allowed to go (as if he cares), same as would happen to any criminal defendant

he didn't have to attend civil trials, but does have to be there for criminal

though since he doesn't think the law applies to him, he could try just skipping it, & i'm sure the Fox/cult crowd would be totally fine w/ it

he wanted to see the son (whom he never talks about nor is seen with)'s graduation!!!!!! who cares if NOBODY else gets to just skip trial w/o a waiver

i'm sure it would work in his favor, everything does including breaking the law


"Pure evil" was Jr's comment (again obviously lying it already happened)... sure it happens to others, but Trump is a special lil boy

& i'm sure Trump doesn't care at all about attending, & every other parent doesn't want him there for the extra hassle


pure evil is their -constant- (multi-daily) fucking lies... Trump also repeatedly claims the legal fees that he's not even paying are preventing him from spending money on his campaign yet he hasn't spent money on his campaigns since 2016 (which surely was a loan that he repaid himself, plus the heaps more he's milked for himself over time)

So when you hear them they say that democracy is on trial. They're right. Democracy is on trial. Freedom is on trial. The rule of law is on trial. All of these things are on trial.

Stupid Jimmy Kimmel, who still hasn’t recovered from his horrendous performance and big ratings drop as Host of The Academy Awards, especially when he showed he suffered from TDS, commonly known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, to the entire World by reading on air my TRUTH about how bad a job he was doing that night, right before he stumbled through announcing the biggest award of all, “Picture of the Year.” It was a CLASSIC CHOKE, one of the biggest ever in show business, and to top it off, he forgot to say the famous and mandatory line, “AND THE WINNER IS.” Instead he stammered around as he opened the envelope. Supposedly his wife, and even management, begged him not to do it, “DON’T READ HIS TRUTH, JIMMY, PLEASE DON’T DO THIS,” they said. He was made to look like a FOOL, which he is, and at the same time go down in Television History as the WORST HOST EVER OF THE ONCE VAUNTED ACADEMY AWARDS!
"

for the record, Kimmel mentioned Trump zero times until the end when he read Trump's juvenile idiotic post criticizing him for laughs (though Trump apparently finds his own stupid comments amazing)

the Trump campaign is asking R's who use his name or likeness in campaigning to send a minimum of 5% of the take to Trump

the letter also notes sending more than 5% will be looked on favorably & supposedly the 'top people' will be informed (of course they can't possibly care about anyone seeing except for Trump... so it's send more & lord Trump will supposedly see your offering... just like their donation scams of 'sign this letter w/ your donation & Trump will totally see... your name will be at the top of the list! just like everyone else's!... somehow!')

yep, of course

it was so fucking ridiculous that he told people to also vote in person even if mailed in, when the State he said it in already had clear method to check if your vote received online & couldn't possibly want anyone to just vote in person to be sure...

so much so fucking ridiculous...
