In reply to the discussion: Well, there's a first time for everything! SO UNEXPECTED! Trump stiffs his "army of lawyers" who are waiting to be paid [View all]LetMyPeopleVote
(180,646 posts)40. trump stiffs everyone
In 2016 as part of the Clinton Victory Counsel program, I and a bunch of volunteer lawyers reviewed 7000 or so lawsuits involving TFG and his companies. Marc Elias had these lawsuits on a data base where attorneys were assigned cases to review. The DNC War Room now has that data base https://www.axios.com/2019/09/08/democratic-national-committee-trump-2020-opposition-research
The DNC research team has mined thousands of lawsuits from nearly 50 states as part of a massive new trove on President Trump that will be weaponized through pols and reporters in key battlegrounds.
Why it matters: This new plan shows what Democrats think Trump's biggest vulnerabilities will be. And unlike in 2016, Trump now has a policy record.
Details: The research includes roughly 7,000 lawsuits, as well an extensive document detailing every time then-candidate Trump told supporters at his 2016 campaign rallies that Mexico would pay for the wall.

TFG does not pay his bills and stiffs everyone he can stiff. These lawsuits were not fun to review

It explains his need for complete dominance of media and public attention, and his non-stop humiliation of America.

Trump stiffed the lawyer who cross-examined @StormyDaniels in his trial - never paid her bill.
