What do you think about Trump misstating how large his apartment is?

From what I understand Trump wrote on documents that his apartment (that he owns) is 30,000 sq. ft. when it is only 11,000. He stated an inflated value to get loans and a lesser value for taxes. Did he pay the loans that used the apartment as collateral? He still has the apartment so I assume so.

I don’t see how a bank or other professional lender doesn’t check the size of a property. Is it incorrect in the county records? This is an experienced business entity or experienced person making the loan. If the county record is correct, then taxes are based on that. The county evaluates the assessed value, not Trump. Did Trump fight the county and some point regarding his assessed value for taxes?

How far is the NY AG going back? I hear on the news talk of Trump doing these things back to the ‘70’s. Ok, so why was nothing ever done? Was anything done in the past? How far back can the NY AG go for her case?

Bonus question: Do you think Trump should have to take his name off his buildings? I really don’t see how that happens. He’s not the only Trump.
