(58,785 posts)36. And yet he did and does routinely refuse to pay his bills, which is why,
for instance, the big four firms who represent most really big political defendants long ago said they wouldn't represent tRump.
He doesn't pay his bills. He takes pride in being able to cheat others and goes to great lengths to do it. If he has to pay up front he'll likely sue to get his money back.
(The other 3 main reasons that no reputable firm will represent him are that other clients object and leave, desirable interns object and may refuse to sign on, and, another real biggie!, he doesn't follow their legal advice. Interestingly, I didn't hear sexual misbehavior involving female employees mentioned, but no doubt that was always extremely well known also.)

You mean Epstein's buddy who fucked minors but was "only in his underwear"? Seriously?
