Key takeaways:1) Businesses rely on rule of law to have a safe and stable place to do business.2) State officials have encouraged rogue judges to torch the rule of law by targeting political rivals such as Trump and Musk for victimless process crimes.3) This sends a signal to all businesses that the "rule of law" only applies to Democrat supporters in those states.4) O' Leary calls these states "loser states"
Uneven political discretion with the law is a feature of a dying civilization, not a bug.
kangaroo courts.
Just a coincidence that these things were not crime until democrats got pissed at him
But you guys can’t stop talking about Hunter Biden.
Who is the victim of Trump Valuing Mar a Lago at 17 million.
Beware, the Orangeman cometh.

Except if you're named Clinton or Biden. Then it's easy. You can even do an investigation and conclude all the elements of the crime exist but you're not charging "cause you know, the thing".Turns out that prosecutors have a much harder time turning a blind eye to your crimes when every detail of them is printed on the front page on the New York Times.

4) O' Leary calls these states "loser states"
The Bank at the trial testified that:1) The Bank made their own assessment of the property
2) the loan was paid back in full
3) The bank made a ton of money from the interest payments
4) The bank would have loved to do business again with Mr. Trump
they would have 100 million more than they have now.
Unlikely, as if their own internal bank assessment was 100 million dollars higher than a rival bank's assessor
The idea that Trump should not negotiate because to do so would be fraudulent is something out of a communist manifesto and a price fixing how-to guide.
He fills out forms with the bank that says he owns 1 billion worth of property. Since his net worth is so much higher than the amount of the loan, they offer him good terms. a low interest rate.

Especially today in such a very tight lending market? There is zero chance such a scenario could go down as you describe.
But we are talking about a private seller of loans who has every responsibility to assess their own value because they would be out of business if they did not.
And O' Leary is right, not a single buyer would now dare to walk into the pawn shop of real estate banks in New York now that it is open season on non-establishment political supporters.
3) the ways in which he lied are harder to prove than if you lied to a bank. Like, how do you establish how much mar-a-lago is worth? It is a much harder question to answer than "how much is in your bank account" or "how much is your single family home worth".
that is not how the law works.
You are not allowed to lie in these documents. It is a crime.
Or saying mar-a-lago is 10 times more valuable than it is (which trump also did).
They cost banks around 100 million dollars.
