Man of the people. Such a populist, this elitist billionaire is…
He has done it for so long he really thinks that is what you are supposed to do. I was completely done with him when I read what he did to the people who built that casino all those years ago. He ruined lives and never once has he thought or cared about it. Its not something he is capable of.
He’s notorious for not paying people. He purposely chose small contractors to help build and do work on his properties, then would say they did terrible work and he wasn’t going to pay them. He knew they wouldn’t be able to afford to take him to court to get the money owed.
He’s a successful businessman, he does indeed run the country exactly like he runs his businesses: stiff the people doing the work for him, divert the funds towards his nepotism clique, bleed the company dry until bankruptcy, and move on to do the exact same thing again because when you’re a star, they let you do it.
Trump: I WILL FUCK YOU ALL UP THE ASS!
crowd: CHEERS
Trump: I THINK YOU’RE ALL TRASH AND I WISH I COULD THROW YOU ALL IN A GIANT POOL OF ACID
crowd: ERUPTS WITH APPROVAL
Trump: I WILL EAT YOUR CHILDREN
crowd: CHEERS WILDLY AND THROW BABIES IN THE AIR
You jest but make the “you” illegal immigrants and this becomes his “I Have a Dream” speech.
So he admits to being a thief.
List of sources quoted in this list of "push back:
- A group called “Republicans against Trump” which seems to just be this twitter account with a buymeacoffee link which posted “Republicans could choose this man to represent them, instead they preferred a corrupt racist buffoon with no morals. The party deserves a humiliating defeat in 2020.” In May 2020, making me suspect they’re not actually Republican or possibly a group at all.
- “A Republican accountability group called American Bridge 21st Century” which is described on Wikipedia as “a liberal American Super PAC that supports Democratic candidates and opposes Republican candidates.”.
- The American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations
- A “popular liberal commentator”
- A Democratic Representative
- The White House political director
So if you were hoping for actual consequences from his base or even just someone new and noteworthy criticizing him, this is not the article for you. I’m glad the Trade Unions are going to spread the word though, that will be a good thing.
I despise Donald as much as any other sane person, but Raw Story is garbage.
Here’s what I don’t get.
He’s incredibly consistent, not paying contractors, or employees. Or paying fractions of what the contract actually stipulated.
I don’t get why any contractor would work for him. any contractor that works with trump is going to get fucked over. its how he operates.
He’s essentially a con man, and there’s a sucker born every day.
“He wouldn’t screw me over, of course, because I’m one of the good ones”
The world is full of incredible idiots. If your megaphone is big enough you can find one for just about anything you need.
I was unaware of just how true this is until Trump became president
Funnily enough, this far along into his political career you’d imagine most of the contractors he’s able to hire are his fan base.
Same reason anyone votes for him, I guess. He fucked all them over too.
There a page in project 2025 against overtime! Imagine that!
Plus more scattered throughout. Here’s just some of the obvious quotes about it
DOL should clarify that a home office is not subject to OSHA regulations and that time to set up a home office is not compensable time or eligible for overtime calculations
They want to remove overtime pay for work from home
Congress should amend the NLRA to authorize collective bargaining to treat national employment laws and regulations as negotiable defaults. For example, this reform would allow a union to bless a relaxed overtime trigger (e.g., 45 hours a week, or 80 hours over two weeks)
Allowing labor laws to be negotiable is going to be used by companies to given worse labor contracts to unions and is a blatant attempt to weaken their power
You’d think Unions would just reject that bullshit, but then Teamsters is … probably fully on board.
The Teamsters, who’re unabashably using bureaucratic obstruction and strict compliance to refuse to cross picket lines.
That’s called SMART BUSINESS!
-Republicans who got Ripped Off by Trump!
He didn’t have to admit it. Anyone that’s been paying attention to him for the last 30 some years knows that he’s a con man that doesn’t pay his bills.
Unfortunately it seems that the people who rally for him didn’t research him and alway think anything bad said about him is made up. This may actually help show them he really doesn’t like the working class.
You misunderstand. They hate immigrants and queers so much that they think that all of their problems will disappear if they elect the guy promising to purge society of undesirables.
Same story for every rise of Fascism ever witnessed.
I’ve been following this POS since late 80s, Grifters are going to grift and con men are going to con.
He doesn’t need to show them. He’s already said, “I don’t care about you. I just want your vote.”
Either they think it’s made up, or they just convince themselves that the face-eating leopard ”surely wouldn’t eat my face.”
How is this shocking to anyone? He owes millions of dollars.
Love to hear ol’ Teamster guy’s thoughts on this.
You mean the guy who didn’t endorse anyone? I think it was clear that the higher ups would’ve liked to endorse Harris, but too many of the rank and file members support trump. I don’t think this’d move the needle much.
Members who support Trump will never hear this story so it won’t change their mind.
The Teamsters Guy did not endorse Trump, he used the platform to directly address the working class. If you listen to a speech he called people like Trump and the entire party out for who they are, called the entire duopoly out for who they are,
Who the fuck didn’t know that already? This dude is notorious for not paying anyone for like the last 40+ years.
Fascist Bojangles jerking the air cocks with them tiny hands
Oh, it gets better! Glad to see these new “shocking” reports that surprises nobody at all.
