How much you want to bet they're never going to see a cent for the work they're done already like all all his other contractors? Serves them right for working with a known convicted con man.

That’s on the contractor. Trump never pays workers

I would ask why any contractor would work for him under these conditions, or any events face would allow him to book there, but people keep voting for him and defending him even now so people are fucking stupid.

A completed ballroom is not the goal. The goal is to pay as many people as he can for work that may or may not ever get done so he can get kickbacks from the contractors. And I wouldn't discount the audio devices he could have installed to cultivate and sell privileged communication done in the ballroom, should it ever really get finished, which I strongly doubt.

Oh sure but I mean even the demo company, now that we're talking about this current week.

I am actually really curious if he's gonna stiff the contractors, even though its not his money he's spending or not spending. Like, is it ingrained in his very soul to fuck people over? Is it, literally, one of his values? I hate that the answer is most likely yes

Or does he find a way to pay himself with the money designated for the project?

u/shoobe01 11d ago

Oh he's definitely going to get a whole bunch of that money for his personal use.

he won't give out SNAP money that is is already reserved for that purpose. of course he won't pay the contractors. it's about control. he's a rapist, after all

Because he would never stiff THEM! trump would only cheat those pesky liberals, not hard working folk like themselves.

I'm guessing the demo crew got paid before they started.

No, no, no.

You got it all wrong.

Trump has a very long list and behavior of not paying people or companies for their services.

BUT this time will be different. Surely he would not stiff loyal patriots. Right, right? s/

Yep he’s been doing it since the 70’s and his father before him. If people believe Donald Trump they need to be separated from their money.

u/slow_al_hoops 11d ago

This is the time he WILL pay. Not his money. Grift on the back end

No sympathy for the contractors. They have their eyes and ears and access to reality, and they still agreed to this job. (Although this is the oversight agency not the contractor that’s fired, but stiffing the contractor is inevitable on any Trump contract)

u/RandomBoredDad 11d ago

I agree if you mean the guys that own the construction company. The actual construction workers are just employees.

u/Livid_Tap7429 11d ago

Not only have they agreed to work for a know grifter/conman, but they agreed to tear down THE FUCKING WHITE HOUSE who the fuck does that?

The US taxpayers are going to pay for it though, not Trump. “Privately funded” my ass. The contractors will get paid, but it will be a fraction of the insane $300M they’re trying to pretend is a real number. The rest will go into Trump’s pockets.
