I'm going to be your champion I'm going to be America's gym
0:05
here he is in the very ballroom where I got bullied many thousands of dollars
0:11
making promises that are just like the promises that he made to me and didn't
0:15
keep Donald Trump hired my small business to design a clubhouse for the
0:22
trump National Golf clue
0:24
Trump in a MTG made this big circle and road love over here
0:32
i built an extraordinary business on relationships and deals that benefit all
0:40
parties involved the center built it wasn't paid the Trump Organization said
0:46
they would meet me at the clubhouse
0:49
there were probably 15 Trump Organization people they were going to
0:54
offer me
0:55
way less than half barely a little more than a third of what we had built
1:01
humiliated because here i was in the ballroom that I work so hard to design
1:07
basically ganged up on me
1:10
I didn't feel that I had a lot of choice but to accept their low ball off
1:16
you know I had already paid out that money that was money go on that was just
1:20
absorbed by me personally
1:21
so we sent that influence and it wasn't paid i went and i met with mr. Trump in
1:28
his office and he said you know I really don't think I should pay anymore because
1:33
i spent too much on this building it already accepted less than the total
1:38
monies due to my firm and he basically said you only wanted to pay me half of
1:45
them out
1:47
mr. Trump's attorney said if i were to sue the Trump Organization i would
1:53
probably get that money but he made very clear to me that it was his job to make
1:58
sure that it took me so long and so much money that i was probably wise to accept
2:05
this very meager sum of money at the end of the day and which I did I decided
2:13
that I didn't want I didn't want to fight the fight it almost put me out of
2:19
business
2:20
we had to max out the credit lines to keep the little ship the phone
2:25
k the rent and I made virtually zero money for a couple years and lived on
2:33
being your savings that were supposed to be for my son to go to school to keep
2:38
from falling because I was a little guy he was winning and wanted to keep
2:44
winning and his definition of winning is making sure the other guy loses and that
2:50
way of doing business is just not very fair to the little country we will make
2:55
it very very good for our companies for small businesses and for people that
3:00
want to survive into well in our country

3:03
you can't run a country the way mr. Trump has run his businesses..............................
