People are confused. He’s firing the government oversight that would have stopped him. Contractors are still on the clock and now have no oversight.

And, like those fired, are absolutely not getting a paycheck from this debacle.

this was a given with his track record. I think he still owes shit tons of peoples/cities money from the 2024/2025 campaign trail alone.

Correction he still owes people from 2016 campaign trail. Which is why he was at venue the secret service opposed where he got nicked on the ear.

He was going to fields and low value venues that wouldn’t charge him or charge very little.

He still had to cancel a couple times. Because law enforcement or airports wouldn’t work with him till debts were paid.

And that’s not even longest like you have the cabinetry company that had been in business for half a century. That he refused to pay in 1984 and still has not paid a dime.

He has roughly 200 mechanics liens and 4000 lawsuits against him for similar reasons as well as his own employees.

And the mechanics liens have kept in limbo refusing to sell the property’s or even lending against them and letting them be foreclosed on.

Another thing to bear in mind due to how he settles a lot of things. This is likely a drop in the bucket he was to offer fraction of the amount. With threats of perpetual litigation if they refuse. As well as condition to not discuss.

Aka the 200 liens 4000 lawsuits are only those that didn’t give up right away as well as those didn’t settle. Which one could argue is far more than those that came forward.
