1. It's no secret anymore, why do those idiots work for that scumbag without getting paid up front?

[chelsea0011]

2. Fuck ACECO

14. Red flag on Snopes

Snopes says demolition company's website is "under construction". I smell rat feces. Is the company brand new? A review of who owns that company is indicated.

Upon further investigation, it appears they took down their website because they were getting too many negative comments. BBB says "This business is NOT BBB Accredited."

Here's some further information:

4. Where are all those rich donors that djt brags about? If he's stiffing the

demolition company, will he pay for a 90,000 sq ft ballroom? People are fools to trust him.

[C Moon]

11. That's probably why he was bragging...

to con these contractors into doing the work.

6. tRump said in an interview a while back, that this proves he's a better businessman. That

he came out ahead in the deal. That he won.

He said this about paying taxes.

He said this about his real estate deals.

He said this about his bankruptcies.

He said this about every fucking crooked deal he ever had a part of. Fuck everybody, because it's your fault that you believed me, and I swindled you. I'm the winner and you're the loser. - what a fuckhead.

Edit to add: And he saying this to the American people: Fuck you, is it my fault you believed me. I'm the winner and you're the loser.

7. This is why I'm still of the firm belief that his fucked up throne room won't ever be finished nt

8. Screw me over once, shame on you. Screw me over twice, shame on me.

They have no excuse.
Scorpion and the Frog. Look it up.

[Old Crank]

9. They signed up for that.

The history is clear. Leopards and spots

10. It is mindboggling to me

that Trump repeatedly stiffed contractors and workers and STILL his businesses failed. It is like he is predisposed for failure.

15. Snopes debunked this

[twodogsbarking]

16. Let's focus on the fact that he tore the fucking White House down;

without any right or approval. Somewhat like crashing a plane into it.

[mcar]

17. Why would any contractor do work for this idiot

without payment up front? At this point, they deserve what they get (not the earlier contractors, though).

[Celerity]

18. Please pull the OP. The source article for the ACECO claim is from a fake news website (USAmidia) and has been debunked

Multiple DUers have already shown that the claim is false:

19. It had to be fake; there's no way payment for the job would have been past due yet.

The demolition just occurred on October 23, only 2-1/2 weeks ago, and probably wouldn't have even been billed until Oct. 31 at the earliest. Big jobs like that typically are billed on the last day of the month in which the work was done, and the payment doesn't become past due until whatever period the contract designates elapses, probably 30 days. Trump regularly stiffs contractors, of course; but this job was probably billed to the government (allegedly to be "reimbursed" by the oligarchs), which takes even longer to pay.
