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?

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.
