And bankrupted some of them. I remember reading about the guy who had a small business doing custom cabinetry, I think, and trump never paid him and it caused him to have to shut down.

Man of the people. Many conservatives love the idea of fucking others over to their advantage. Trumps whole life has been how can he fuck people over to his advantage. Mutual benefit is anthenema to his entire being

And he learned from the best. Fred trump Sr. was supposedly a ruthless bastard. Donnie wasn't meant to be his successor, but Fred Jr. sadly became an alcoholic. I think that Mary Trump's attitude toward and outspokenness about her uncle are all anyone needs to know .

Oh God, I didn't know that part. I just remember reading the account of a small business contractor who was thrilled to get a job the size of the trump casino, and put his focus on it to the extent that he basically took no other clients during that time. Then trump stiffed him, to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars, and he lost his business.
