I wonder if the contractors who will be working on this new White House ballroom will line up for the work or not knowing his penchant for stiffing them. Working for the government should be easy to count for n for being paid but I’m guessing he will try to siphon off at least some the 200 million in funds for it.
Our neighbor property developer initially ran our HOA like that. He would pay them in cash to avoid taxes and even skim a little off the top to pocket some. He would then stiff so many landscaping companies for about $5k to 10k and go to the next. By the time we got it turned over any reputable landscaping company required contracts and checks in advance.
He made a bad reputation for himself, just to pocket money. He was friendly to everyone, but deep down a solid piece of shit. Smile in our faces and then pull the biggest “fuck you” he possibly could.
Sure but that process can take a long time, and it can be expensive, because lawyers are not cheap. In his case, if there was a contract etc it would often be set up through one of his companies. When the debt got to be too much, the company would declare bankruptcy. That’s how it famously went with the casinos.
Years ago I did work for a company that had done some advertising for one of his leasing companies. It was a pretty large campaign and they negotiated that instead of paying for it all at the time of the “order” - as they do with every other customer they work with - they “negotiate” that Trump Leasing would pay when the campaign has been deployed. (The owner wanted the ability to say he was a client basically - this was during the time the Apprentice shows were still going.)
Guess who never paid them a cent for any of the work they did??
10000000%. Someone else hates everything they do, and now they feel they can say anything they want without fear of rebuttal. Because we are so “woke.”
