Won't matter one bit. He's gonna keep on powering through.
But I'm not surprised at all that he doesn't

Screwing over small businesses with late payments is all too common, and one of the absolute biggest evils I've seen in the business world, unfortunately. A lot of companies collapse due to this.
It's a one-way street as well, if small businesses decided to withhold contracted goods and services due to issues, you bet types like the Trump Organisation would deploy swarms of lawyers in an instant.

That's the main reason it works - small businesses don't have the excess capital or funds to go toe-to-toe with big businesses.
Most small businesses will offer 30 days after delivery for payment, which is already tough on some.
My dad works for himself as an appraiser, and hasn't seen payments for jobs up to 4 months out.
For someone who claims to be for the U.S. and business, he sure does love to ruin businesses that aren't named after himself.
As well as those named after himself.

If anything his polls fall. I guarantee that will happen in response to the university BS. I really hope he continues with it cause he's Trump, not cause of his campaign.

This is gold. And people want him in the white house. Can you imagine him not paying America's bills?
Damn, this loon shouldn't even been allowed to run.

I run a small construction company that is still very new.
With these first few projects, I'm very dependent on strict pay schedules to ensure my employees are compensated on time.
Something like this Donald Trump fuckery happening to me would be absolutely crippling this early in the game.

Because now that the nominations are decided it's open season on Trump and his long history of not paying bills is probably the lowest hanging fruit.

Trump has lots of bills. He has great ones. Absolutely the best bills. Trump does not pay those bills. But they are the best bills.

I'm glad the media has stopped pissing themselves laughing, and started getting out the knives. This is a much better look.

I mean, this could very well be a deliberately timed story. Just after everyone starts talking about how "Trump doesn't have enough money to self fund and will need outside funding to run his campaign" a few news outlets run stories saying "every person who tries to do business or lend money to Trump gets screwed." Could be they're trying to scare off donors.
Lmao! I can just imagine it.
"Mr. President.You have to pay for the wall or else we will default on our debt"
"But I already said Mexico is gonna pay for the wall. It's their problem, not mine"
Anyone who's even considering donating money to his campaign at this point is already too dumb to be convinced it's a bad idea.

As LOLGOP said on twitter, Should we know their ethnicity before we comment on if these suits are legit?

Its probably coming from the Clinton Camp. I imagine this is the first real sustained shot as its greatly resembles the Bain Capital stuff in 2012. Define him early beyond being a racist. Take away his "great businessman label" paint him as a ruthless business man who isn't getting ahead because he's smart, he's getting rich by fucking over small businesses and his workers.

That'd be beautiful if it really is coming from the Clinton camp. If they continue to release these types of things trump is in for a very rough 5 months.

Trump finally responded. Claims it's false, then literally admits in the same sentence to doing what this article accuses him of doing. Just because you claim it's shoddy work doesn't mean it's true! That's a huge part of the article.
what a complete moron.

So you didn't pay... So I assume if those people did a poor job, then why not go through the proper channels and dispute the charges?

proper channels. lol. Donald acting proper?
Are you high? Exposing your business to liability and lawsuits (of the type that will seek compensatory damages) by not paying your bills is the total opposite of good business tactics.
And who got ahead because of daddy.

So... who wants to tell him that the US President still has to pay their bills? Like, unless he's going to try and claim every personal meal is actually a state dinner or something.

Well I can't disagree with him. Why should he have to pay for shoddy work?

Trump University has shown he is perfectly willing to charge money for shoddy services. He should pay for shoddy work out of solidarity.

Yeah, unless you can show that something was installed improperly or not to manufacturer specification you can't just withhold pay.
I wonder how his firms write specifications for work. "This candelabra should be tremendous! Lots of gold and crystal!" "Sorry that's not tremendous enough I'll only part you 70%".
So how many reasons are there now as to why he's a piece of shit?
And he has 40% of the country behind him because he was on tv. Good grief.

Trump seems like the kind of guy who would make a thread on a internet forum asking for someone to make him a 360 degrees logo, but also saying that he wouldn't be able to pay as he only has 10 dollars he shares with his roommate.

I don't really understand where you're coming from. Surely in that case it's "good business tactics" (ie save money) to never ever pay any bill at all?!

I don't think the point is to change a Trump voters position. It raises awareness to those who don't care to vote though and I expect this to happen a lot in the next few months. Would be hilarious if all Trump can do is claim his decisive primary victory and then gets crushed in the general.
But seriously, there are probably a ton of people who view the two candidates as both having high unfavorables and therefore being no point in voting for either.

People seem to pay him for shoddy work. I guess the skill is to be a massive hypocrite.
Not when you then offer the same contractor to work on other Trump projects. If they did shoddy work, why the hell would you hire them again?
Or could it be, as mentioned before, their tactic to claim shoddy work and when they are sued by the contractor for not paying, bury them in the courts until they go out of business?
