Donald Trump is on the warpath against Judge Arthur Engoron. He’s decided to “egg him on” with a blistering post labeling the distinguished jurist a “hack.”
Yesterday Engoron essentially ended the Trump Organization with his order in Trump’s New York fraud case. He accused Trump of overvaluing his business and assets by over $3 billion to gain tax advantages.
Engoron took expert testimony that Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach is only worth $18 million. Trump is insisting it’s; worth $1.8 billion.
Even the NY Post today got the estimate up to only $320 million thanks to local realtors. That would still leave Trump off by $1.5 billion!
from Trump:
“WE NEED JUSTICE IN OUR COUNTRY! This political hack judge, who values, Mar-a-Lago, the most spectacular parcel of real estate in Palm Beach, and perhaps all of Florida, at $18 million in order to reduce valuations on my financial statements, which are, in fact, lower than my actual net worth, must be stopped. I have had very unfair judges since entering politics, but nobody has been as unhinged as this guy. Mar-a-Lago is worth, perhaps, 100 times more than he values it. Other properties are likewise worth substantially more. I am worth billions more than my very conservatively stated financial statements, and therefore could not have defrauded the banks, who all made money & were all paid back, or are current, with no defaults or any other problem. Additionally, there is a powerful Disclaimer Clause on the first pages of the Financial Statements it states that nothing in the financial statement should be excepted as fact!”
