Again, please read the ruling. (here's a hint, he cheated the people of NY millions in taxes).

Actually, I'll avoid the thread as I've said all I have to say at this point unless someone adds something of consequence. I'll go back to the political forum where I'm discussing this with around 100 active posters from both sides, none of which have felt the need to resort to the TDS argument.

Since Mar-a-Lago is apparently only worth $ 18M, can Trump file for a refund for all the extra property taxes he paid on it over the years? Can he get the local DA to file charges against the taxing district for gross overcharging of property tax? Surely that's a criminal matter.

And your argument falls on its face, because of one simple fact. The taxing authority determines the valuation, in the end. You can appeal, fight, stomp your feet, but in the end, their rulings are final, and you just have to pay what they tell you to pay.

So let's say Trump underpaid property taxes. That's on the appraisal district, ultimately, not on Trump. I'm sure the appraisal district has competent representation, just like the banks do.

The only way there's a crime here is if Trump bribed people at the appraisal board to intentionally undervalue his properties for tax purposes. Was that even alleged

For your arguments to even make sense, Trump has to be the slick conman, and both Fortune 50 banks AND New York appraisal districts, have to be run by hicks that just fell off the turnip truck. Is that what you're saying? Trump got over on banks and appraisal districts because all those people are incompetent rubes? Makes me wonder what's going on with the tax appraisals on the Empire State building, the Chrysler building, and the former Twin Towers. Was the same kind of fraud committed by those owners? Or was it just Trump properties?

Tell it to the judge, he still disagrees and I'll take his knowledge over yours.

You failed to answer the question. Is Trump entitled to reimbursement for years of grossly overpaid property taxes on Mar-a-Lago? It's a simple question.

And if you can answer the question, and the answer is yes, does the taxing authority in FL need to face consequences for their actions in grossly overcharging Trump?

The judge's knowledge that Mar-a-Lago is worth $ 18M is the final decision on value.

I am and will be along with millions of others until the party sheds itself of a dishonest man like Trump.

Wow, you're clever. Quoting me for saying something I've said over and over for years.

Do you really think you'll need to prove I said that some day?

The fact that you're still saying it is why you're not to be taken seriously.

You're right, not on a car forum but I'm on the side of the majority elsewhere I post. You should try it or can't you taking being on the side of the minority?

Do what? Whatever I could to maximise the value of my property/project...dam right I would.

The ruling is bullchit and a continued witch hunt. Sad that you can't see it through your TDS colored glasses.

Even more sad that otherwise intelligent people like you play off $2.2 Billion Dollar fraud as TDS.

I also don’t believe you would intentionally commit fraud, I don’t think you’re that guy. Tweaking numbers is one thing, $2.2 billion is another. Overstating you personal penthouse by 200% is another.

Funny how Trump was never pursued for all this fraudulent activity until he became POTUS and exposed the swamp.

Yup, you’re right about that. Seems there’s a price to pay for being a condescending ahole, pissing people off, making enemies all while sucking as president.

Play stupid games win stupid prizes. He has wasted his opportunity.

Now you’re just not making sense. Get out of the car forums with 6 or so guys that think like you and see how it goes.

My horizons go far beyond the folks here.
