The business world revolves around Crushers controls Liens happen all the time, most charges are for extras that are disputed and yes many times are contractors are ripping the generals off cause they just want the project finished. Nobody borrows from another project to pay for a bad one. I am sure Donald like many has each asset its own individual corp to protect himself. Now go back to selling lightbulbs, where we would all be without them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well hell yeah....200 g's is beyond reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not defending Trump's business practice, just what I see when generals go over on budgets. I insure my final payment on large projects, perhaps they can as well.

Yet people continue to do business with him, what's up with that. Usa today recently reported that out of about 500 lawsuits against Trump with clear decisive outcomes he won all but around 36. Want to discuss those. Nobody is gonna additionally mortgage a project to pay suppliers or take from winning businesses to pay for losing ones. Nobody Abe. This is how he does business, so avoid him or bid higher if you risk your final payment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still admire how well financially he has done and his creation of thousands and thousands of jobs. He has helped many more people than he has hurt. Time to drain the swamp in Washington.

I don't give a shit who got there money in this deal. only time I see guys having a hard time getting there invoices covered there are always issues with quality or bloated supplys or man hrs. this whole case will be tossed in the end and the trump corp will give a check for te 35 grand. I also know guys in his position never have much to do with the jobs . they may show up from time to time beyond that the contractor and there job supers deal with the property managers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
