Trump: The billionaire who doesn't pay up
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2016/06/09/news-roundup-trump-stanford/85651072/Trump's trail of unpaid bills
Donald Trump casts himself as a protector of workers and jobs, but a USA TODAY NETWORK investigation found hundreds of people — carpenters, dishwashers, painters, even his own lawyers — who say Trump didn’t pay them for their work. A review of about 60 lawsuits and hundreds of liens alleging Trump hasn’t paid suggest that either his companies are bad at hiring workers and assessing contractors, or that they renege on contracts, refuse to pay or consistently attempt to change payment terms after work is complete. Trump's business has even been accused of not passing along tips to wait staff. Also not paying up? A major Trump supporter who is richer than Oprah Winfrey didn't pay state income taxes for three years.
