1. Yeah, "under budget" if your budget doesn't include paying all the contractors.

[Eugene]

8. Absolutely! eom

[ProudProgressiveNow]

18. +1 nt

[Bengus81]

20. Yep...not paying the full contract price is a great way to keep ANY project "under budget" n/t

BUMP!

[Glimmer of Hope]

2. How can this be? Soon to be president con man.

[Hestia]

3. Since this is a federal building, the contract with GSA states that any liens have to be cleared

within 30 days. He ain't president yet.

[TeamPooka]

6. as soon as he takes the oath he's in violation of the contract so I hope GSA voids it.

but they'll probably give him time to sell it.

[DK504]

9. And yet

another violation. How many will he rack up before Jan. 20th?

[Stonepounder]

14. But they have contractor's liens on the property.

And it is not his to sell since he is leasing it from the GSA not buying it. Who is going to want to sub-lease the property if the GSA says "not without clearing the liens first"? (And that is assuming that he is even allowed to sub-lease. Does his lease with the GSA allow sub-leases?)

It will be interesting just how far Trump can go before the Federal Government says "enough".

[TeamPooka]

15. I meant sell his rights/contract. But yes the leins would have to be cleared before a sale

even a forced sale.
A sub lease would still potentially allow him to profit so that would also be in violation.

[greymattermom]

11. and what happens if the liens aren't paid?

does the department of justice prosecute? Would they?

[Initech]

4. What is going on here? What is he not telling us?

[TeamPooka]

5. Business as usual for Trump. nt

[Bengus81]

7. Another Trump project,another screwing

Notice how he'll pay people but then doesn't want to pay the full contract. Basically tell's em if they don't like getting screwed then go hire a lawyer for $250 per hour.

This POS will NEVER be my President!

[DK504]

10. The Gret business con man

strikes again.

[Ligyron]

12. I did business with Trump and his organization years ago.

Guess I'm lucky 'cause I always got paid.

Never even complained about my bills, which were not exactly cheap either. In person he was always friendly when I was around and he sure loved playing golf, even on his little short course at Mar-a-Lago.

I had no idea at the time what an asshole he actually was.

Like I said, guess I was lucky.

Those poor contractors, their workers and their families - and right at X-mas bonus time too after busting their ass to pull this off.

[DFW]

13. I'll come in under budget on every new building put up in the State of Texas

As long as I can get out of paying the people who provided the land, the building materials, the wiring, the plumbing, and I can get away with paying the architects with a $15 McDonald's gift certificate (to be shared among them equally).

[Achilleaze]

16. The Republican Tax-&-Draft Dodger-in-Chief is...

...setting all kinds of new Republican Family Values standards.

[Sunlei]

17. I bet that hotel makes about a million a night now gross. Our Gov 'sells' old properties to cheap.

I watched several old post offices & light houses sold off, 10k to about 250k. Almost all on the lower price end.

[chelsea0011]

19. His comments about how this is all part of the costs of doing business is galling.
