Trump said if you can't pay your rent because you didn't get paid your landlord would understand.

Trump said if you can't pay your rent because you didn't get paid your landlord would understand and forgive your rent...

This is wisdom from the King Of The Deplorables.

MAGA, LOL

P.S. How does that work at the supermarket?

[htuttle]

1. You can just charge it to your ID card at the supermarket

You know, since you have to show the ID to buy anything, anyway (or so Trump apparently thinks).

[Vinca]

2. Silly federal workers. They should just hit their millionaire fathers up for some cash.

[Tanuki]

3. I'm surprised he didn't say Mexico will pay their rent. eom

[jberryhill]

11. Oh that's brilliant!

I’m stealing that.

[Iliyah]

4. Markets, gas stations, and others will provide a line of

credit with no interest. Same with the landlords and house payments.

See shithole that was simple - NOT.

1%ers again in the twilight zone. Reality was never their cup of tea.

5. He'd Have That Eviction Notice Ready In A NY MInute

6. Yeah I'm sure he was really kind and understanding when people missed their rent

His story was that his dad gave him the low end properties to handle. He told the story of going to collect rent but learning never to stand in front of the door after banging on it. This was part of his tough guy streetwise thing but I'm sure some of it is true - I don't know if he did the actual rent collection.

10. I kid you not...rebuild the wall(s) in 12 days or face eviction:

Donald Trump was a nightmare landlord in the 1980s

https://money.cnn.com/2016/03/28/news/trump-apartment-tenants/index.html

Just a few months later, on New Year's Eve, several tenants received identical "lease violation" warning letters. The previous building owner had given renters permission to knock down walls and renovate their apartment units. But Trump was reversing that exception, and renters had only 12 days to rebuild the walls -- or face eviction.

___________

One time, Trump sued a tenant for not paying rent -- even though the guy, Anderson Clipper, actually did. New York City Judge Jay Stuart Dankberg eventually blasted Trump for the "spurious and unnecessary" lawsuit, according to The New York Times. The judge dismissed the lawsuit, said Trump was trying to "harass" Clipper, and forced the developer to refund 5% of Clipper's rent.

14. Thanks.

I knew there were stories like this out there but was a bit lazy.

7. Can you imagine the response if one of his or Fred's tenants

Had asked either of them this? Somehow I just don't think it would be so compassionate or understanding. The stupid. It just burns more every day...

[marybourg]

8. No need to imagine.

Many NYers still living remember the kind of landlords Fred and Donny were. Woody Guthrie even put it into song.

[ms liberty]

13. Yes, exactly - and that is what makes it so preposterous!

And a lot of his supporters know that what he's saying is a complete lie - the statement is just too ridiculous for anyone to actually believe - and those of his supporters that aren't getting a paycheck and can't pay their rent are not going to appreciate his cavalier attitude toward their plight.They don't care until it's personal; that is what it takes for some people, unfortunately. But he will lose support over this, IMO.

[underpants]

16. Especially coming from someone who lives in government housing

He does. And it's quite clear that he and Melania hate it.

[underpants]

15. See post 10 above

MrsCoffee did the research.

[ms liberty]

18. Thanksfor pointing me to it

I knew someone here would take up the challenge, lol!

[marble falls]

9. I'd love to meet that landlord. How about mortgage holders?

[dsc]

12. In fairness, good tenants are hard to find so I think more than a few landlords will wait

given this set of circumstances. But that doesn't make this situation correct nor will they wait indefinitely. I figure maybe 2 or 3 months tops.

[UniteFightBack]

17. In fairness, good landlords are hard to find too ! nt

19. I lived in apartments for most of my life

Many are corporately owned. The apartment manager is not empowered to waive the rent.
