Jon Stewart asks why corporations pretend to have morals when we all know the only thing they value is money. Watch the full segment on YouTube: https://t.co/UVNkKjqZng
On Fox News just now, they are talking about how Donald Trump is selling Bibles for $60 while Joe Biden is bringing in $25 million from an event in New York City with Barack Obama and Bill Clinton.
The money certainly seems to be behind Joe Biden, while Donald Trump faces the brunt of his legal problems over the course of the next several months.
How will this impact the election in November? If I was Trump I would hope that my trials end before the election, and I am exonerated. If he truly believed that he was not guilty this is what he would’ve pushing for. It would be a huge boost to his campaign as well as fundraising. Instead, he’s trying to delay trials and I think that will backfire.
Stop saying that Jon Stewart did the same thing as Trump did when he "over valued his property."
He did not. Not even close.
Jon Stewart simply sold his property for much more than it was assessed at. That's it.
In 2014, he sold his duplex for $17.5 million, while the 2013-2014 assessor records showed it was assessed at $847,164 - $1.882 million. The actual assessor valuation was even lower, at $847,174. He didn’t lie about the value to make more money.
Trump's fraud lawsuit centered on allegations that Trump and the Trump Organization misrepresented the value of their assets on financial statements used for loans and tax benefits. The lawsuit argued that Trump inflated the value of his assets to secure loans and insurance benefits and deflated them to reduce tax liabilities.
It's not fraud to sell a property for more than the city says it's worth. It is fraud to knowingly inflate the value of your property on paper in order to maximize loans you could obtain, while also deflating the value in order to save money elsewhere.
Stop comparing apples to orange men.
