There is no "non-searing" way to accurately describe Donald Trump because he is objectively a giant piece of shit but this fact makes the commentariat get the vapors
To discuss his pre-political career is to simply rattle off a long list of frauds in which someone else was always left holding the bag, his one presidential term was primarily characterized by racism and star fucking, and since then he's been convicted of dozens of felonies
Back in the 90s, my stepfather sold software used in Atlantic City casinos. After he finished a big installation at one of Trump’s casinos, the Trump Organization refused to pay the balance. So all those fraud stories hit home.
My stepfather’s response: “fine, I’m turning this all off.” They paid.
Literally every contractor who's ever worked for Trump has a story about getting stiffed.
It's the sort of thing, like his cheating at golf, that would be an automatic disqualifier among Forgotten Men and Local Diner Patrons if they really believed half the bullshit they said.
Yep. In my stepfather’s case, he had leverage because he could semi-easily shut down the software, which was signature verification technology and important to a casino’s operation.
Other vendors wouldn’t have the same options, for sure.
Will never forget hearing from relatives in NJ about a contractor they knew who Trump stiffed for over $1M who STILL voted for him because Hillary. smdh
The casino didn't go broke so much as it was busted out (Trump and cronies collecting huge salaries and licensing fees while the corporation was hollowed out).
To be fair, his one presidential term was also characterized by bungling a national crisis so badly that he killed more Americans than the Civil War and almost wrecked the global economy
“Joe Biden should simply talk about Trump’s appearances in Home Alone 2, and The Apprentice episodes that aired and not anything that was said on set.”
Well yes, but on the other hand...
I'll need to get back to you as the "other hand" has proven as elusive as Saddam's mobile WMD. But like Saddam's cache, it does exist and proof will be found!
