Value of property is highly variable and up to opinion.
How was an average New Yorker harmed by trump claiming his property was worth more than it was? Please be very direct and specific. I can give you how trump getting that loan benefitted New Yorkers if you want…
For starters, the square footage of an apartment is not a matter of opinion, and Trump lied about the square footage.
The average New Yorker was harmed by Trump in the same way that the average New Yorker is harmed by a drunk driver who makes it home without hitting anyone.
square footage is routinely fudged. some people go by exterior square footage, some people count the possible square footage of nonstructural walls. and some people go by interior, usable square feet.
So you don’t understand why drunk drivers are punished? Or why you would be punished for driving 100 mph in a school zone without hitting anyone? Or why you would go to jail if you shot a few rounds into a crowd without hurting anyone?
In that case, you simply don’t understand the point of public safety laws. Fortunately, prosecutors do understand.
To summarize: There are laws. Even if you can’t understand why they exist, you have to obey them.
They are punished to prevent them from driving drunk in the present and the future, there is not actual harm from them being drunk and making it home save.
If people are convicted by what could have been that is a very slippery slope.
He is being punished for running for president, that should be obvious. So again, please very directly tell me how people were harmed by trump. I can tell you how they benefitted.
I already told you. He broke a law designed to keep New Yorkers safe. That means he put New Yorkers at unnecessary risk.
It doesn’t matter if any particular person was harmed, just like it doesn’t matter if a drunk driver actually harms someone or if a person who shoots into a crowd actually harms anyone.
It also doesn’t matter if anyone benefited from his illegal actions. If you put on an illegal fireworks show, maybe people benefit and maybe nobody gets hurt. You get punished nevertheless.
The law is the law. When you break it, you face punishment. End of story. Even if nobody was actually harmed, even if some people benefited.

Counting walls and exteriors won’t triple the area.
no, it wouldn’t
is that what happened?
Donald Trump Claimed Apartment Was Three Times Its Actual Size To Increase Value
It was trumps lawyers not trump, but there are ways to make it look higher than it is.
The average new yorker is not harmed by a drunk driver that doesnt hit anyone…

Exactly, and Trump is being punished to prevent him from lying on loan documents in the present and future.

And what was the risk to New Yorkers? Who exactly was defrauded by trump?
