Jon Stewart mocks claims Trump’s multi-million-dollar New York fraud is ‘victimless’

Jon Stewart has skewered claims that Donald Trump’s multi-million dollar fraud was a “victimless crime.”

The former president’s New York fraud case has been branded as an incident with no victims, particularly by commentators on Fox News.

The Shark Tank judge Kevin O’Leary even declared that everything Mr Trump was found liable for in the civil fraud case “is done by every real estate developer everywhere on Earth in every city. This has never ever been prosecuted.”

“Leave it to Kevin O’Leary to be unaware enough to say the quiet part out loud,” Stewart responded incredulously on The Daily Show.

“There is a theory in law that if enough people commit a crime, it automatically becomes legal. You’re familiar with The Purge, are you not?” Stewart joked before saying, “The f****** entitled arrogance.”

A judge has ordered Mr Trump to pay $464m for a decade-long scheme in which prosecutors alleged he falsely inflated the values of Trump Organisation assets to obtain loans.

“It was all part of a very sophisticated real estate practice known as ‘lying’,” Stewart joked.

The one-term president was ordered to pay the multi-million fraud bond by Monday but a panel of state Appellate Division judges unexpectedly granted him a 10-day extension to pay just $175m of the total judgment.

Despite the ruling, many have come forward in support of the former president, and people such as Mr O’Leary even questioned on CNN, “Who’s next?” after the ruling “didn’t go over very well with the investment community.”

“Ah ‘who’s next’, the persecuted minority of the investment community,” Stewart taunted.
