organizations. His MO for decades was to show up at all the big events as a photo op and NEVER write a check. This info will be clear in all his tax returns

Only EVERYTHING!

Get this evil=doer outta here! President Joe and Madam Vice President Momala will seem like a nice fluffy comforter of hope.

who put up a glitzy tower in NYC and tried to stiff nearly everybody who worked there. I'm old enough to remember all the glitz went into the lobby and the units were suburban builder's grade, the first thing tenants had to rip out were the cheesy finishes and fixtures, not to mention the whole kitchens. I'm old enough to remember his telling people who wanted to be paid to go sue him and how his lawyers were delay and delay, costing the people he stiffed a fortune so they'd just give up and go away.

There's a very good reason he did so poorly in NY and New England in 2016. People there knew what he is and the degrees of separation weren't very high, everybody seemed to know somebody who knew somebody who got screwed on one of jis projects.

MIAMI — The pregnant widow of a fallen U.S. soldier on Monday contradicted President Donald Trump’s account of his phone call about her husband’s death and said what he told her “made me cry even worse.”

Myeshia Johnson told ABC’s “Good Morning America” in an interview that Democratic Rep. Frederica Wilson was practically a member of their family and was among a group of people listening to Trump’s call on a speaker phone as they drove to receive Sgt. La David Johnson’s body.

“The president said that he knew what he signed up for but it hurts anyway,” Johnson said. “And it made me cry because I was very angry at the tone of his voice and how he said it. He couldn’t remember my husband’s name. The only way he could remember my husband’s name was he told me he had my husband’s report in front of him and that’s when he actually said La David.”

Trump tweeted that Wilson “fabricated” his statement and the fight escalated through the week. Trump in other tweets called her “wacky” and accused her of “SECRETLY” listening to the phone call.
