Court Upholds $300,000 Fine After Trump Refuses to Pay Miami Paint Store

[HAB911]

Donald Trump is so rich. Big-league (bigly?) wealthy. So wonderfully wealthy that he apparently owes a Miami paint store $300,000 for work at his Trump National Doral Miami resort. So wealthy he's been fighting not to pay that $300,000 since last year. So wealthy that his lawyers officially lost an appeal yesterday and now he's gotta pay that $300,000 or try to appeal all the way to the Florida Supreme Court.

Yes, the president of the United States of America, the leader of the free world, the single most powerful human being on Planet Earth, a man who recently bombed Syria on a whim, lost a fight over a few thousand dollars' worth of paint supplies.

Yesterday Miami's Third District Court of Appeal ruled that Trump Endeavor 12 LLC, which owns Trump National, owes the cash to a local store called the Paint Spot, which has been fighting to get money out of Trump since 2013. (Perhaps this is why a few of the president's latest budget proposals seem designed to let Miami sink into the rising ocean.)

1. So the President who in his own words

grabs 'em by the pussy was forced to pay $25 million for defrauding people in his fraudulent university now has to pay the paint shop for scamming them.

Don't forget that he's charging the Secret Service for renting golf carts to protect him - not to mention the 17 golf trips on tax payers' money.

Has the WH ever been occupied by such a low life?

2. NEVER

[spanone]

3. imagine a Democrat president doing the same....24/7 congressional investigations

house and senate....impeachment hearings in the house.

media hounding for his removal.

fox declaring war on the white house.

reThug after reThug in front of microphones daily excoriating the presidency.

[malaise]

5. Yes indeed

ReTHUGs are sure showing their true colors to those who didn't know they are total and complete authoritarians and racist scumbags who have no regard for the law, the Constitution precedence or convention.

4. Honestly...this is just how Trump ALWAYS does business...............

He gets prices and takes bids,lets the work get done and then he pays contractors little or NOTHING. He could have just paid off the last $32K but Trump can't go through life without SCREWING the little guy on a daily basis. So NOW he owes almost 300k when you add in that paint store Lawyer fees.

I hope they BLAST this story all over the media. Gawd he's a POS!!

8. Color me not surprised.

9. He cheats everyone out of money and then uses lawyers to keep things tied up in court nt

[MurrayDelph]

10. That's his original plan for "The Wall"

Hire Mexicans to build it, then not pay them.

[IronLionZion]

11. He got rich and successful somehow

Rich people don't get rich by paying workers or taxes. If you were smart you'd know that.

It's good that people are still suing a sitting president and winning. bastard is probably sick of winning and it made his head spin, so he needs to lose some court cases

12. Donald Trump: Shitting on the Little Guy!

13. Are we sure Americans are not just stupid, but blind as well?

[BSdetect]

14. Another example of how dishonest this pig really is.

He's pure scum and evil.

15. K&R

16. I wish he would have been slapped with triple damages for fraud.

He didn't even pretend that he had a valid reason to withhold the money, and his long history of doing the same thing to other vendors makes it clear that he never intended to make good on the contract. What a contemptible person.
