USA TODAY exclusive: Hundreds allege Donald Trump doesnt pay his bills
During the Atlantic City casino boom in the 1980s, Philadelphia cabinet-builder Edward Friel Jr. landed a $400,000 contract to build the bases for slot machines, registration desks, bars and other cabinets at Harrah's at Trump Plaza.
The family cabinetry business, founded in the 1940s by Edwards father, finished its work in 1984 and submitted its final bill to the general contractor for the Trump Organization, the resorts builder.
Edwards son, Paul, who was the firms accountant, still remembers the amount of that bill more than 30 years later: $83,600. The reason: the money never came. That began the demise of the Edward J. Friel Company which has been around since my grandfather, he said.
Donald Trump often portrays himself as a savior of the working class who will "protect your job." But a USA TODAY NETWORK analysis found he has been involved in more than 3,500 lawsuits over the past three decades and a large number of those involve ordinary Americans, like the Friels, who say Trump or his companies have refused to pay them.

higher than Clinton for a win by 538. Although I find it hard to believe. It is in real time.
