They require a large retainer every time they start a new project for Trump, have him on a monthly payment schedule, and a service agreement that allows them to quit anytime he falls more than 30 days in arrears on his bill.

why would they work for him if not?

He probably makes sure certain people - those who cover his ass - get paid.

He has his priorities.
