Donald Trump is complaining about hot air at a Virginia hotel, and the hotel is pushing back.
Onstage, Trump, owner of luxury hotels, interrupted his remarks about free trade to berate the hotel about its air conditioning system.
"I don't know what hotel this is, but you ought to try turning on the air conditioning or we're not going to get you paid," Trump said.
Hotel officials told WDBJ in Roanoke that the air conditioning system "was on and working properly throughout the event." The hotel said temperatures in the 90s did pose "a challenge" while doors were open for two hours to let hundreds of people enter the ballroom. It says staff did everything possible to keep guests comfortable.

(19,460 posts)Trump's two favorite ways of responding to anything that isn't going his was is to refuse to pay his bills, and to attempt to ruin someone's career and reputation. He really doesn't have any other coping tools.
He was standing under TV lights, on one of the hottest days of the year, in a hotel building that is something like 80 years old. As usual, Trump's expectations were unreasonable, and everything is always somebody else's fault.
Statistical
(19,264 posts)when they sized the system they didn't account for a scenario where massive amounts of hot air would be generated inside the hotel.

If the Democratic party doesn't use cheeto not paying vendors and workers in his businesses as a cudgel they will lose. They need to show him for the deadbeat he truly is.

(5,902 posts)But anyone who's minimally observant has always known that if the U.S. were to ever be in real danger, it could come from the right - and that's where Comrade Trump comes in.
Life is full of irony.

(24,695 posts)"I don't know what hotel this is, but you ought to try turning on the air conditioning or we're not going to get you paid," Trump said.
This remark says everything about this individual---------------and the democrats had better quickly learn to say this and more
There really needs to be a billboards put up saying that this guy "stiffs' people on contracts that he signs, just ask the mom and pop paint shop in Florida about the $330000 plus attorney fees old Donnie had to pay for stiffing the owner.

(24,695 posts)They are really cheap , we need to start a fund to get these up and running and quickly, if the progressives of this thread, and other progressive threads combine this energy, this dead beat will lose, I have to pay my bills and if I stiff someone or even think about stiffing someone, I can have a mechanics lien put against my house, my car, my bank account anything, what makes this dead beat so special.
I will chip in $25.00 to start this thing, in my state-------------------this election is to damn important

(130,867 posts)it really is up to the campaign and DNC. Too damn bad DNC's in bad financial state!
turbinetree
(24,695 posts)involvement is our job, we do not need the DNC or the campaign.
My rant:
I gave to a man and I am giving to candidates on average $27.00 dollars to send a message, the revolution is not suppose to die, just because he got the silver, that is not his message----------------we are the gold members, the citizens of this country, we have the power, that is the message.
We protested during the Vietnam war and every night the message was getting out to get out, we cannot let the MSM run this like they are doing today, they have sold there principles for ratings and commercial money.
Why may you ask, how many times was the reporting of this deadbeat and what he did in Florida to a Mom and Pop Paint shop,
( in New Jersey in Atlantic City, New York) that this dead beat had to pay over $330,000 in fees for not paying his bill, I saw it once in this domain, there was no mention after he got the nomination, no where.
That should be the opening every day, that this "guy" is not fit to run a country, let alone a business from the MSM, they, MSM keep moving on, look at what Leslie Stahl, when she had this guy on 60 minutes.
Those speeches last night, I did not see or hear ,because my tv got fried by a lightening bolt, and my computer got it also, and was fixed today, and also the tv ( sort of) of how many speeches yesterday and today were made saying this guy is a dead beat.
The first words in my opinion from Clinton's mouth should be, "My husband balanced the countries books, and there was a surplus, what has drumpfed balanced, nothing he stiffs owners in businesses, (and give examples, this no holds bar politics) and makes a profit off it, at the expense of others, because he doesn't honor his "CONTRACT", why is he in court.
We need Bill Boards--------------
End of rant
elleng
(130,867 posts)both presidential and congressional, and must say I'm finished with it. Not chiding you at all.
turbinetree
(24,695 posts)that's why I am thinking outside the proverbial box--------------I fully believe that this country needs public financing of it's elections, this election alone is going to cost over a billion dollars, a billion dollars that could feed 45 million children, give over 8 million people unemployment benefits, or give people a raise, to get back and forth to work, have high speed rail service, so many things that a billion could do, but this country is stuck in a cycle

(24,221 posts)ooo I like that one.
turbinetree
(24,695 posts)that's what should be said every night, and that, he thinks in his business model that it's "A Okay" to stiff people out contracts, go back on "deals", they will take whatever I (he) wants to give them, and then somehow blame the other person in his narcissistic scenes of self worth, between his ears

Motley13
(3,867 posts)I think he may be headed to bankruptcy. He is not showing his tax returns, because
#1 he is not as rich as he proclaims
#2 he has paid little or no tax
#3 all his claims of charitable contributions are very little or none
#4 all of the above
He is hoping his quest for Prez is going to bail him out, win or lose
So, it's his habit of not paying his bills to save money & go on to screw the next person.
Everyone should make him pay in advance, in cash.

(14,732 posts)Drumpf is a tightwad. He pinches pennies by stiffing his contractors and providers. Reminds me of another multi-millionaire (friend of the Donald's) who was (in)famous for never buying salt, pepper, ketchup and paper napkins. Instead he glommed them from fast food restaurants, pocketing large amounts of the prepackaged stuff they (used to) leave out for guests to use. Sounds like something the Donald would do.

'Where was Trump?'
He's never helped ANYBODY in his life, and he's not about to help anybody now.

(660 posts)because he is genuinely dissatisfied. This pose is designed to respond to the many people who will be claiming publicly that Trump regularly stiffs people on genuine claims in the ordinary course of his business. He is trying to avoid the implication that he is a crook and a cheat.

KT2000
(20,577 posts)why there are so many contractors and workers who he has stiffed. It is of course their fault. That is all that was. He said if their work was not to his liking he would pay less or nothing. He is trying to sound like a smart businessman for not paying his bills but we all know better.
