    Trump’s holdings are “Mona Lisa properties” that can command top dollar, attorney Alina Habba said.

    “That is not fraud. That is real estate,” she said, accusing the attorney general’s office of “setting a very dangerous precedent for all business owners in the state of New York.”

    Oh no! Are you saying that NY landowners might have to [checks notes] pay the taxes that they owe and not defraud their lenders? How will they ever survive?

    Trump denies wrongdoing. He says … that it didn’t matter what he put on his financial statements because they had a disclaimer that says they shouldn’t be trusted.

      Like writing “this essay may have been plagiarized” before copying down paragraphs of Wikipedia.

      Telling us that you’re breaking the rules doesn’t make the rule breaking ok.

    I like the part where he mentioned a 500 year old statute of limitations.

    Fun fact: That is more than twice as old as the country of the United States.

    " It’s a scam it’s a sham it’s a flim flam.

    My financial records are in such good shape. I have to lie about them 'cause people won’t believe me. They’ll say ‘Donald, how are you so good at business?’ , and I’ll say ‘You know, I know, and everybody else knows, especially my uncle involved in the nuclear aspect of things.’ So here we are, and here I go, to where? Who knows. Everyone is saying it."

      The sad part is that, I think this is fake, but I’m not 100% sure. 🤷🏻‍♂️
