Legendary Investor Kevin O’Leary Breaks Down Why Trump’s NY Fraud Case ‘Doesn’t Even Make Sense’ [WATCH HERE]

The legendary investor, Kevin O’Leary, appeared on CNN to discuss Letitia James’ fraud case against President Trump.

It would’ve believed it, but Kevin O’Leary thinks the case makes no sense.

He explains how every real estate development does what President Trump did and that nobody was harmed in the transaction.

Read the transcript provided by RedState:

O’LEARY: Well, let’s leave out Trump for a minute, and let’s leave out politics, and just talk about what happens in real estate development anywhere. So, if you’re a developer and you’ve got a building on the block, anywhere in America, and it’s worth, let’s say, $500 million, and you want to build a building right beside it, you go to the bank and say, “This building is worth $500 million. I’d like to borrow a construction finance loan against this asset, and I want you to tell me it’s worth $500 million too.”

And the bank negotiates with you, and says, “Well no, we think it’s worth $400 million,” and you fight it out. You are always trying to show your assets in the brightest light with the sunshine you can possibly determine for them. You want them to be worth the very most because you’re only going to get a 40 to 50 percent loan to value, as it’s called. Then you borrow that money, in the case of a $500 million asset, maybe you get $250 million, and you build the new building with a construction finance loan. So that’s what this case is all about.

And by the way, forget about Trump, every single real estate developer everywhere on earth does this. They always talk about their asset being worth a lot and the bank says no. That’s just the way it is. So in this case, what I’m trying to figure out, and I’m not pro or con, or I don’t care about the politics, who lost money? Nobody. The bank got paid back the construction finance loan, and a new building was built. If you’re going to sue this case and win, you’ve gotta sue every real estate developer everywhere. This is all they do. This is what they do all day long every day. So I don’t think this thing will ever survive appeal regardless of what the fine is. This doesn’t even make sense.

Now look, I understand Trump has a lot of problems in other indictments and everything else, but if you’re a real estate developer, you’re watching this and saying, “What is this? This is ridiculous.”

President Trump has been saying it the entire time: nobody was hurt in the deals, and everybody got paid.

Now, you have a wildly successful investor saying the same thing.

When will Letitia James give up?

My guess is she and other Democrats knew that none of these bogus cases would hold, but they are hoping that it would disrupt the election nevertheless.
