since he was elected? (Not sure if this is in the correct topic section, but none of the political ones seemed to fit.)
We need a list of all the vendors/cities his campaign has not paid from before the 2016 election, one listing the same for after his election, and one for the inauguration festivities. And maybe, for good measure, a list of vendors he/his companies have not paid or reduced their invoices.
I'd love to make a graphic or two with those facts.
Thanks.

(46,090 posts)This is a story BEFORE he was elected. Heard it thirdhand.
Trump had contractors and subcontractors furiously building the Taj Mahal in Atlantic City nearly 30 years ago.
The contractors are responsible for paying the subcontractors.
I know of an electrical subcontractor who was paid in full by the contractor who hired his company. No problem. Except . . . . . the contractor paid the subcontractor with his own funds, in anticipation of being paid by Trump. And the contractor had several subcontractors on the TM job.
Trump never paid the contractor. The contractor went bankrupt b/c 1) Trump never paid him, and 2) he paid the subcontractors b/c via contracts, he had to pay them and didn't want to be sued by at least 20 companies. He was screwed either way.

(43 posts)Thanks. I've heard lots of those stories - I lived in Palm Beach County for 20 years (until this year) and we all heard tons of stories like that. My neighbor was his pastry chef (hates Dolt45).
I was hoping for a list of unpaid bills from the 2016 campaign and the 202 campaign so far.

(507 posts)Hasn't there been reports of Hairplug Himmler stiffing El Paso for Police Security for one of his 'rallies' this year? Pence in Denver? I do remember seeing here in Florida where a couple who filed a lawsuit against dump before he became pResident for non-payment, WON their lawsuit, with fines and interest. Now, whether he's actually paid this couple, since we ALL KNOW this 'billionaire' is bankrupt, is unknown.
Where is Washington Post when you need them??

(43 posts)Yes, El Paso. I can't help but think he's left a trail of unpaid bills from the entire 2020 campaign so far.
