Let's Make a Deal! A Trumpish Deal!
Here's how it works:
I'll hire you to do a whole bunch of work for me and contract with you to pay you a ton of money.
You donate 20% of that contract amount back to me right away, as a favor to me and a good faith gesture.
Then, when the work is completed, I'll pay you 15% of what I promised to pay you.
How does that sound? Terrific, huh? I make the best deals. Tremendous deals. As far as you know, you're getting the best deal ever.
