58. Your post made me wonder if he has gone back to stiffing his vendors

Stiffing vendors has been part of his MO. I wonder if the ones being stiffed by the campaign will start coming out of the woodwork?
?


Jacobsen denied Trump's claim of shoddy work, saying, "Mr. Trump wants to belittle me…That's his style. He is 58. When is he going to grow up? I will collect, one way or another." Jacobsen subsequently told the New York Daily News that, after his story had appeared in the Post, he received 22 calls from merchants who claimed Trump had "stiffed [them] in the past. He can't get anybody to work for him."

The day that story ran, February 2, 2005, Mar-a-Lago asked the local sheriff to serve Jacobsen with a civil suit against his company for breach of contract, alleging that Jacobsen had failed to properly install the chandeliers and that the resort had to hire an electrician to do all the work. And on February 3, one of Trump's lawyers, John Marion IV, sent Jacobsen a letter threatening to bring a libel suit against him over his comments to the Daily News. He demanded that Jacobsen turn over the names, addresses, and phone numbers of the 22 merchants who had called him. The lawyer accused Jacobsen of being a "publicity hound" who'd "made this up."
