Migrant workers hired to work at the Trump International Golf Club in Dubai say they are frequently paid weeks or months late and forced to work in conditions that violate local labor laws, The New York Times reports. Two dozen current and former workers interviewed by the Times said they have had to routinely stage strikes to force their employer, local construction company Al Arif, to pay them their dues. The company is carrying out work on luxury villas at the golf club, which is managed by the Trump Organization and Damac, a major Dubai real estate developer, according to the Times. All of the workers said their employer confiscated their passports, a violation of national labor law in a country notorious for reports of labor exploitation. Amanda Miller, a spokeswoman for the Trump Organization, stressed that it has nothing to do with the treatment of the workers, saying the Trump Organization does not “oversee construction or employ or supervise any of the companies or individuals who have been retained to work on the building of the project.”

1. republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief stiffing his workers, as usual

the republican cheats everyone who works for him.

Our US Secret Service is the latest batch of hard-working people to get screwed over by the lying, cheating, dark-hearted & greedy republican "family values" role model, Comrade Casino.

2. The laborers aren't being paid likely because Trump isn't paying the construction company.

When Trump was building the Taj Mahal in Atlantic City, a general contractor went bankrupt because he trusted that he would be paid. So he paid all his subcontractors and waited for his money. And waited. And waited. And went bankrupt.

4. Trump: The brand where screwing people over is actually the business model

The deplorables actually think they're not going to get screwed over as well. How much longer until they wake up and realize their savior is a televangelist con-artist?
