Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida as being worth $18 million to $27.6 million.

Which is the Average cost of the Guard Shack out front.

How do you defeat tyranny in the U.S?

By getting angry? They don’t care.

By using common sense? They couldn’t care less. Common sense has no power to arrest them

There’s ONLY ONE WAY to defeat tyranny in the U.S.

1) First DEFINE tyranny AKA the Deep State: Tyranny AKA the Deep State is the UNCONSTITUTIONAL act and agencies of the federal and/or state government.

2) Once you get what tyranny is, how do you defeat it? By ENFORCING THE CONSTITUTION which is the Supreme Law of the Land against the federal government (or state constitutions against rogue state governments, like NY).

THE CONSTITUTION boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen.

The Constitution is the MOST powerful weapon Trump can use against these criminals because the Constitution is what MAKES them criminals besue when they violate the Constitution their acts are ILLEGAL and, thus, they can be validly arrested for illegal acts.

TRUMP, AMERICA, REINSTATE AND ENFORCE THE CONSTITUTION AGAINST THESE WORST-OF-ALL OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT CRIMINALS!!!!!

IF he had undervalued his properties, he would have been accused of avoiding taxes through under reporting. Heads they win, Tails he loses.

Judges should moonlight as real estate appraisers.

I am sure Trump will appeal, and we’ll see. It seems like a major stretch of a case. The value of a property is whatever the market says it is worth, not what a judge or various appraisers thinks it is worth. You could have two identical buildings right next to each other, one could be worth considerably more because of various intangible factors such as, for example, maybe a famous mafioso was murdered in the doorway or was shot to death in a barber chair; or one has the Trump name on it while the other doesn’t.

People still go to Sparks to eat an expensive steak because Paul Castellano was killed there. You can get a better steak down the block for less money. Does that mean Sparks should face civil fines? Should the owner of Sparks’ building pay fines for charging more in rent to the restaurant operator than the landlord of an identical space across the street?

Watched a video by Mark Dice the other day which included comments about the Judge’s valuation of Mar-a-lago. Mark showed a Zillow webpage for a piece of ocean-front property that consisted of 2.2 acres, and was completely overgrown. They were asking $150 million for the lot. I think Mark said that Mar-a-lago consists of at least 17 acres and the Judge valued it at what? 17 million?

Judge undervalued his assets, ‘drive-by appraisals’.

I hear appraisals are for tax reasons only and have no bearing on loans given?.

Also, the banks did their own due diligence.

Not only that, but higher valuations certainly do not mean cheaper insurance premiums.

The claim is Trump lied on loan applications which is a felony. I believe they need to prove intent which will be tough. Even if found guilty, how they could force him to dissolve companies and exit business and not buy any real estate in NY for 5 years seems like unconstitutional baloney to me.

The fix is in. Not sure what Trump can do to stop any of this madness.

The property appraiser has the taxable amount at 33 million plus which means it’s officially worth that much at minimum (not counting the homestead exemption that’s been subtracted). That tells you that the judge is deliberately undervaluing Trump’s property which can be found on our state’s open property information.

So if Trump Inc. has been paying property taxes on inflated values ( according to the court ) does he get a tax refund?

Since he was not formally given any legitimate appraisal evidence at a trial Beas a judge has NO STANDING as an asset appraiser. Just a leftist partisan hack

We are fighting against a power that no longer recognizes the Constitution.

Your county evaluates your property for tax purposes.
The lender appraises the properties for lending purposes.
They don’t, just, take your valuation.
