Trump ordered to pay 300K for lawyer's fees after losing lawsuit...

[GaYellowDawg]

I wish the Clinton/Kaine campaign would start using this line: How can Trump say that he's the "law and order" candidate when he acts like he's above the law? Because he does, in his financial dealings. Or this line: It's got to be a lot easier to make money when you don't pay your bills!

Check out the latest episode. Bold added by me...

Circuit Court Judge Jorge Cueto, presiding over a lawsuit related to unpaid bills brought by a local paint store against the Trump National Doral Miami golf resort, ordered the billionaire politician’s company to pay the Doral-based mom-and-pop shop nearly $300,000 in attorney’s fees.

All because, according to the lawsuit, Trump allegedly tried to stiff The Paint Spot on its last payment of $34,863 on a $200,000 contract for paint used in the renovation of the home of golf’s famed Blue Monster two years ago.

Trump National’s insistence that it had “paid enough” for the paint despite a contract, according to the lawsuit, caused The Paint Spot to slap a lien on the property and Cueto to order the foreclosure sale of the resort.

“I’m happy I have a judgment,” said Juan Carlos Enriquez, owner of The Paint Spot. “But he [Trump] hasn’t paid yet.

1. The fact that a deadbeat like trump is winning over Hillary

should scare people. So, Hillary makes DWS her honorary campaign head, knowing just how divisive and hated DWS is - Among Democrats!

[GaYellowDawg]

9. Oh, come on.

My post was about Trump. Not about DWS. I don't appreciate the attempt to hijack the thread with an anti-Clinton rant.

[Stevepol]

30. Still I like the idea of HRC using that story of a "deadbeat" Trump in her speeches henceforth.

What a nice line to hit over and over. "What a deadbeat Trump is, Deadbeat Trump," and then, add, "When are you going to pay your $300,000 bill Donald? You owe it to the guy, the court has ruled in his favor, but you still haven't paid. When do you plan to pay your legal obligations under law?"

I could see this as something that could start to represent everything about Trump, "the liar and deadbeat par excellence."

[tblue37]

37. Deadbeat Don; Don the Con. Emphasize that he is a rich, powerful guy

ripping off ordinary Americans and small business owners, often causing the ruin of those small businesses.

[Hortensis]

18. Lol. Keep shoveling. That judge's decision was DURING

the Republican Convention, where multiple people claimed Trump takes care of people. Uhuh. The convention and decision together just struck me not only as funny, but bizarrely appropriate.

And Trump's last-ditch effort to put away the RICO-sanctioned class action suit against him was LOST the day after the convention. He goes to trial November 28. After that come another two civil trials whose dates haven't been set yet.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

22. Deadbeat, serial husband, liar, cheat.

Yet, he leads Hillary.

[Hortensis]

23. No he doesn't, and we all know it.

All the wishful thinking in the world wouldn't make that one true.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

27. CNN today.

Apologize for accusing me of wanting trump to win.

[Hortensis]

29. I wouldn't apologize for accusing CNN of wanting

Trump to win, or more accurately wanting Hillary to lose. I judge by actions not professions of virtue and CNN is DIRTY AS HELL, a disgrace to journalistic integrity.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

36. I don't want to fight.

But your attitude is not helping.

If you haven't noticed, her negatives are big (68%) and growing. Hillary's campaign has to take steps to change that. Hiring DWS as the honorary national head is not helping matters either.

The campaign has some problems, and a ton of potential advantages. The problems need to be addressed. Mentioning them and pointing them out is constructive, not negative.

[George II]

32. He's not "winning over Hillary". He's got a little bump from the convention....

...happens every four years.

[Ilsa]

2. "Hey, I've paid enough!"

If only the rest of us could use that excuse to get out from under student loans, credit card debt, auto loans, and mortgages.

It just shows that Trump thinks he's special, and he shouldn't be held to the same standards as every other person.

[annabanana]

4. I've paid enough too...

So maybe I should just stop?

[Ilsa]

7. Well, you know what would happen to us.

We'd have liens placed on our assets, or we'd be evicted, or lose all future credit, etc.

[GaYellowDawg]

11. It'd be a whole lot easier to accumulate wealth, wouldn't it?

He does this all the time. I'll bet most of the people he does this to don't take it to court because they can't afford the time or the legal representation. I've already seen a video about a piano business and another about an architect who both got severely stiffed by Trump. He probably does this to several businesses per job and has probably done so for 40 years.

If this could just get out nationally, and get repeated over and over the way that Fox hammers their "stories" over and over, it would really resonate with a lot of the working class people planning to vote for him.

[annabanana]

3. straight up gangster

He's disgusting

[Else You Are Mad]

5. He complains that NATO nations aren't paying their

... fair share of the costs while at the same time he isn't paying his own contractually obligated bills.

I wish the MSM and Democrats would bring things like this up.

[RussBLib]

26. I hope the media vet the crap out of Trump

Now that he is officially the nominee, the media (MSM and all the rest) should give Trump an extra-deep level of scrutiny. As short-tempered as Trump is, he's likely to explode multiple times until the GE.

[Motley13]

6. That maggot has the nerve to call Hillary crooked???????????

deadbeat don says he wants to take care of the middle class, that just shows how well he would do that. We would all be screwed.

He takes advantage of the small business 'cause he knows they can't afford to sue him.

I'm sure the maggot will have sth to say about the judge of Latino decent, probably Cuban.

Clinton/Kaine need to make sure this news gets around there are plenty of others, some he pt out of business.

[malaise]

12. Uncle Scam, Don the Con had perfected the art of

projection/inversion of reality. He'll get away with it for as long as both M$Greedia give him a pass and the Dem campaign don't respond in kind.

There should be ads detailing his version of 'law and order' ending with a simple statement -Don is a Con!

[GaYellowDawg]

15. Yep. Greedy Donald or Cheating Donald. Maybe even Debtor Donald.

But I'd kind of like for our two candidates to stay away from it. I sure wouldn't mind if Elizabeth Warren started calling him Cheating Donald.

On Twitter: Cheating Donald stiffs another small business (link)

I think that would drive him crazy.

[turbinetree]

8. Why aren't there bill boards up in lets say Florida, New York, saying

Herr Drumptf owes me money $34,863 to be exact, and I had to file a lawsuit, "WE" had a contract and he "stiffed" me out of $34,863, just imagine what he would do with the USA when it came to our contract obligations like with NATO, your service family members, etc......




Honk------------------for a political revolution

[SheilaT]

14. How much do you suppose a billboard like that costs?

[turbinetree]

16. I really don't know probably around 600 to 1,000 a month

I think it depends on the size and location, and what is said, found this:

http://www.bluelinemedia.com/billboard-advertising



I think, all of it would have to say, is have a picture of herr drumpf standing there with a wad of cash in both hands , and
underneath it saying this guy "stiffs' people and doesn't honor contracts of any kind like NATO, or have it with the mom and poop in Florida for $34,863 he stiffed them out of, or tried to stiff out of them, and have a picture of them used by and with permission





Honk--------------------for a political revolution

[malaise]

17. +1,000

Honk!

[turbinetree]

20. I look at it as a small investment with a large return----------------------FLORIDA

and just think it can be tied to Marco Rubio, since herr drumptf is there leader, and he did kinda come out and support the "stiff"

Better yet have him laying in a bed of cash, and under neath it, saying he "stiffs" mom and pops out of $34,683 dollars, imagine what he would do to the USA .




Honk---------------------for a political revolution

[wishstar]

10. Hillary camp isn't letting this slide- she brought it up on 60 Minutes last night

We can expect to hear more about Trump's business practices from several others at Convention

[GaYellowDawg]

13. That is GREAT.

But we also need a couple of bumper-sticker style comments repeated over and over by our candidates and their surrogates. Repetition of the same short messages is probably the most effective tool of Republican campaigns and we need to try to use it, too. Except be truthful.

[sorefeet]

19. I still owe $600 on my new

dentures and I think I have paid enough. The dentist did a good job, held up his end of the deal, I'm out of pain and I look better. But what the fuck. I think I paid enough and that's final.
In all reality Trump probably HAS but several million bucks in the bank by screwing over the little guy.

[beachbumbob]

21. Good luck in collecting...

[Bernardo de La Paz]

24. Not paid yet? Push through the foreclosure sale. Let Trump borrow from Putin.

Trump can't borrow from US banks because he is such bad credit risk.

[Javaman]

25. the simple fact is, the repukes own or control most of the media.

or our Dem senators or reps don't have the "gift of gab" exploit tRumps many many many failures.

Take your pick. one overrules the other.

[treestar]

28. Should be easy to cover, media!

and get opinions from the president of the company he tried to stiff!

[bucolic_frolic]

31. #KremlinDon trending well this week

If you can stiff suppliers enough, you get everything at cost

helps feed Das Kapital

[Wounded Bear]

33. You guys got it all wrong...

Trump knowingly defaulted, because he thought the original 38k payment was not enough. He stiffed the guy, knowing that it would result in a much larger settlement, thus generously supporting the small business in the suit.

You see? Trump is an angel, always looking out for the other guy.

(for the challenged)

[Doodley]

34. Obviously the MSM think the people don't need to know this.

[Friend or Foe]

35. Judge Jorge Cueto? Me thinks there is bias here

Obviously, Judge JORGE CUETO is hispanic, and we all know that those darned Hispanias can never be fair to heir Drumpf!!
