Putz actually asked me how I expected to be taken seriously.

Fact-checking Trump's claims about New York fraud trial
Quote:
"No bank was affected. No bank was hurt," he said moments before the start of the trial, noting that all his loans were paid back on time.
Under this New York statute, however, the attorney general did not have to show that there were victims, only that Mr Trump committed ongoing fraud.
|
Quote:
Mr Trump has cast this trial, as well as other lawsuits and indictments, as an attempt to hurt his bid to return to the White House next year.
But the investigation into these fraud claims began four and a half years ago, when Trump was still president, after his former fixer Michael Cohen went public with the Trump Organization's accounting practices.
|
Quote:
"It's all run by DOJ, which is corrupt, in Washington - everything goes through them," he alleged.
He has shown no evidence of coordination. Also, this is a civil fraud case based on New York state laws, not a federal one. The Justice Department has no jurisdiction here.
|
Quote:
"What he did - undervaluing these properties - is a disgrace to our nation," Mr Trump said on Monday.
However, it was not Judge Engoron who came up with the valuations. The ones he cited in his ruling were from official assessors.
Take Mar-a-Lago, for example, the former president's Florida resort. It was the Palm Beach County assessor - not the judge - that appraised the market value of Trump's primary residence at between $18m-$27.6m (£14.5m-£22.5m).
|
Quote:
"My brand is extremely valuable. I didn't even use it in my financials."
The judge has refuted this, saying there is evidence that from 2013-2020 Trump's financial statements included a 15% or 30% premium based on the Trump brand for seven golf clubs.
On top of that, the judge ruled that the statements "double dip", by also suggesting that "the goodwill attached to the Trump name has significant value that has not been reflected in the preparation of this financial statement".

How Yoho read it:
"No bank was affected. No bank was hurt."
"It's all run by DOJ, which is corrupt, in Washington - everything goes through them."
"What he did - undervaluing these properties - is a disgrace to our nation. My brand is extremely valuable. I didn't even use it in my financials." Mr Trump said on Monday.

A large faction of the right just wants chaos. It's all they want and they don't care what the end result of said chaos is. That's my guess.

And the first casualty of this chaos is the market, the things Republicans love to support. Considering that inflation is already hard to control, I doubt many average people are going to love market volatility on top of that. Obviously, the vast majority of people will fail to make the connection and just blame Biden for the economy. Cool....cool, cool, cool.

Gaetz himself is a prime example for this. Seems he always just wants chaos for the sake of having chaos.

My guess is that the people who made large campaign donations to Gaetz (and others in that faction) can make money from the resulting chaos.

well yeah, that too. But in contrast to other #######s, he seems to have no real agenda. He just stirs #### for fun, which makes him even worse.
