Eric Trump whines about "cheap shots" while discussing the fine art of stiffing contractors.



“We believe in paying people when they do great jobs,” Donald Trump’s second eldest son said.

“We get people paid incredibly quickly. And we pay contractors,” he continued, adding that the Trump Organization only refuses to pay if a contractor doesn’t complete a job.

“It’s called the real world,” he said, referring to the allegations. “People like to take cheap shots at us.”

“In New York, we know what contractors are going to be incredible, what contractors are going to — I won’t use a word, but — take advantage of you,” he said. “And, you know, you have that institutional knowledge. You know your way around. You know the language. You know the laws. You know how things are built. You know what kind of foundations work in the ground.”

For some plastic surgery to improve on his ugly mug. But I guess it all went to Ivanka, the favorite one.

“And, you know, you have that institutional knowledge. You know your way around. You know the language. You know the laws. You know how things are built. You know what kind of foundations work in the ground.”

IF he already knows all this... Why does he even talk to the contractors he knows he's going to end up stiffing?
