Lion Heart 15,041 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 The front page of USA Today’s print edition features an all-caps, above-the-fold headline that Republicans probably didn’t want to see: “Trump’s Trail Of Unpaid Bills.” And while the headline is rough, the article hits like a sledgehammer. During the Atlantic City casino boom in the 1980s, Philadelphia cabinet-builder Edward Friel Jr. landed a $400,000 contract to build the bases for slot machines, registration desks, bars and other cabinets at Harrah’s at Trump Plaza. The family cabinetry business, founded in the 1940s by Edward’s father, finished its work in 1984 and submitted its final bill to the general contractor for the Trump Organization, the resort’s builder. Edward’s son, Paul, who was the firm’s accountant, still remembers the amount of that bill more than 30 years later: $83,600. The reason: the money never came. “That began the demise of the Edward J. Friel Company… which has been around since my grandfather,” he said. USA Today recently broke some news, noting that Trump and his business enterprises have been involved in “at least 3,500 legal actions in federal and state courts during the past three decades.” But this new report goes one step further, noting much of the litigation involves ordinary Americans – mechanics, plumbers, painters, waiters, dishwashers, etc. – who sent Trump bills for completed work, and the New York Republican simply refused to pay. The new report added, “The actions in total paint a portrait of Trump’s sprawling organization frequently failing to pay small businesses and individuals, then sometimes tying them up in court and other negotiations for years. In some cases, the Trump teams financially overpower and outlast much smaller opponents, draining their resources. Some just give up the fight, or settle for less; some have ended up in bankruptcy or out of business altogether.” Adding insult to injury, the Wall Street Journal published a related report overnight, documenting the same problem. In some instances, Trump-owned businesses felt they had leverage over small businesses, so when bills came, Trump’s enterprise would offer part of what was owed – take it or leave it – knowing that the small businesses couldn’t afford to get tied up in a lengthy court fight.

ItsTommyBitch 12,640 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 I'd say mess, but is this actually new information at all? Trump's always been a shoddy liar of a businessman and he's done worse than this 私自身もこの世の中も誰もかれもが, どんなに華やかな人生でも, どんなに悲惨な人生でも, いつかは変貌し, 破壊され、消滅してしまう. すべてがもともとこの世に存在しない一瞬の幻想なのだから Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't pay when a restaurant serves me a bad meal. I don't see the problem... unless it's proven otherwise—but it hasn't been. It's just allegations at this point. And even if it were true, he's still better candidate than Hillary. I'd rather have a hat-wearing monkey elected instead of Clinton.

aaronyoji 2,064 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 he can afford the best and quality services, he has no excuse not paying ordinary hard working people for their services, and no excuse for not choosing to go with more reputable businesses IF he indeed experienced shitty customer service.

Well, its not allegations if he basically admitted to it with the excuse of a "shoddy work" but the point is that Hillary isnt the only liar which was your attack against her a few days ago, now with this, and with the university thing, Trump is also a proven liar, not all of his money is legitimate, and if he would do these things as a businessman, saying he is trustworthy enough to be the president is just wrong. anyway, you responded, so see you in the other thread Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
