Trump has stiffed hundreds of working class people, contractors, etc.

Why didn't we see commercials featuring these people? I realize that some of them have signed agreements not to discuss their (eventual, pennies on the dollar) settlements, but what about people who still have lawsuits against him? What about friends of people who saw their friends' lives destroyed by Trump's treachery?

Why didn't we see some of them at the DNC, at the podium, describing how Trump promised them the world and then refused to pay once they had delivered?

to this day I have relatives who don't even realize that Trump never pays his bills. It's his most salient feature.

1. Actually, there were a number of people there who had been stiffed.

2. you'll have to refresh my memory

6. Cant remember the specifics -- I just checked Democratic Convention, and

just saw that Blomberg spoke about Trump as a con man, but I am thinking more of the afternoon sessions when the less famous people go, one after another.

7. sure. But they should have been featured, as I said

Americans might have had a reaction if they saw other regular Americans who had been screwed over by this asshole.

3. There was the ongoing fraud lawsuit against Trump University

And the President agreed to pay $25 million to settle it (which hasn't been paid yet because a litigant who wasn't part of the class settlement filed an appeal against the settlement). This was pretty common knowledge, but you're right: The popular media were far more focused on Secretary Clinton's use of a private e-mail server (that was never compromised) than they were on Candidate Trump's publicly available record of cheating people. For some reason.

4. it's almost like the media were having fun kicking the sane candidate

Happily, they have reaped the insane candidate as their reward.

5. It was well known. Clinton also ran commercials about it.

8. I have always wondered that too.

Even if they did have signed agreements, now that he is the president, how would it look if he actually went after them if they took out a class action suit? He legitimately stiffed them and they are entitled to collect. Also, I am not so sure all of them signed an NDA in the first place. What is stopping them from speaking up?

9. Well, there was this one in MIami who had to sue to get paid. Guess what? He voted for Trump

10. I know they ran some.

What I wasn't aware of at the time was the details involved in his Scotland golf course fiasco.

I had occasion to watch the documentary "You've Been Trumped" after the election. The guy was on camera calling working class farmers and fishermen 'pigs' because their grubby machinery and out buildings troubled his beautiful mind.

Trump sent his goons out to tear down other people's buildings. He had people arrested. And when they put up a fight, he built a giant berm in front of their property for the sole purpose of blocking their views.

The guy is psycho. We all knew that. I don't understand why there wasn't 24/7 clips of him from this film.


Here it is:

11. as a small business man this is about the first thing i always bring up

a guy owning a business may not relate to collusion but he can relate to getting stiffed
