There is NO statute that governs your ability to set your own value. It doesn’t matter what Trump says, a bank will always do their own appraisal

[JohnDoe-xmql]

Why not...
The judge said his decisions are based on feelings.

[paulfong]

It's so dumb since the banks would do their own assessment on the value

I wish we all could have seen the court hearings with Trump. Damnit. I'm not happy about it one bit.

“It was 30 or 35 questions. The first questions are very easy. The last questions are much more difficult. Like a memory question, ” Trump continued. “It’s like, you’ll go, ‘Person, woman, man, camera, TV.’ So they say, ‘Could you repeat that?’ So I said, ‘Yeah.’ So it’s, ‘Person, woman, man, camera, TV.’ OK, that’s very good. If you get it in order, you get extra points.”

Then, “10 minutes, 15, 20 minutes later” in the cognitive exam, “they say, ‘Remember the first question?’ Not the first, but the tenth question. ‘Give us that again. Can you do that again?’ And you go, ‘Person, woman, man, camera, TV, ’” Trump recounted.

The president said doctors had warned him “nobody gets it in order, ” and he assessed that “it’s actually not that easy. But for me, it was easy.” Trump also emphasized that the medical professionals conducting the exam “don’t tell you” they plan on asking patients to repeat the word series, and said they were impressed by him doing so.

“‘Can you do it?’ And you go, ‘Person, woman, man, camera, TV, ’” Trump said. “They say, ‘That’s amazing, how did you do that?’ I do it because I have, like, a good memory. Because I’m cognitively there.”

What did you folks expect was going to happen?

😂🤣😅😂🤣😅😂 WHEW!

Banks have their own appraiser's... They know exactly what they are loaning our money against.

[Wudup]

How come they're talking more about overvalue and banks and they're not talking about undervalue and Taxes I thought there was proof of that as well.

[MrTbayles]

If it is a state prosecutor how is it a civil trial?

[Mike-hzcp]

The Florida property is not 18 million. An empty lot with a single home to knock down is 20 million.

[coreykeele]

How about the donations to this prosecution... lets see that fraud. 😮

[SeaWeed]

2:34 well, maybe a W Republican should audit her and her families finances and education and go through them all for the past twenty years. Wasting tax payers funds in a personal vendetta. Oh, yeah, , , , that would be rac1st, right? Why are the real Americans putting up with this?

[NCPPGpilot]

'The normal person cannot inflate values of their properties to get a better deal'. 100% correct. When the normal person says 'Hey, my stuff is worth X amount'. A normal bank says 'That's nice, but we're going to send our experts to determine the value and go from there'. What planet is this kind of banking done, because I think I'd like to visit. 🤦‍♂

[dankeane]

It's the lenders' responsibility to conduct their own due diligence to know the value of properties on which they are basing lending decisions.

[jerryweeks]

He don’t have any business having anything!

[eltonhendrix]

Why hasn't she been asked to prove that the values are overvalued? I wanna know on what bases is he overvalued.

[twilightgardenspresentatio]

Even the judge doesn’t have the power to control trump

[godblessthelessfortunate]

No one is above the law. Quit treating him differently just because he is running for political office.

[MajesticWorship]

Where did BRIBEM get so much money that he’s handing out loans to his family members?

[itsgoodtobeclean]

Please let's be honest..this is Totally politically motivated. 🤷

[TheMercilessEye]

Trump remained unconvincing.
Bummer, man...
