"I was Trumped!"

Just finished watching Reckoning on Netflix. In one scene a contractor is asked about work he performed for a suspect. After doing so the contractor says “I was Trumped!”. The detective asks what he means and the contractor explains that after finishing the project the suspect claimed the work was inferior and refused to pay him!

he hired major general contractors who then hired subcontractors.

The electrical general contractor paid all the subcontractors out of his existing funds, expecting to be paid by Trump.

He wasn't. Just because Trump wasn't going to pay him.

He went out of business.

He told her the publicity she would get was worth more than the money he owed her.
