I had a request from my wife

She works a a small contractor business. Both owners are deep red republicans. One has started to get that look they show of Bill O'Rieilly on the Clinton commercial anytime he hears what new thing dipshit brings up. She thinks even the other one is close to dropping support. She asked if there was a simple full list of contractors and the amounts that dipshit has shafted on payments. Anyone know of one?


I'm just trying to move a few at a time to blue voters.

But we are talking red meat, forward all those fake emails, republicans. Between the 2 of them they put in small donations to the republican party each year but do up the amount during prez. elections to around $10,000 each.

I found the USA today and cnn articles from June so maybe those will help.

At least 60 lawsuits, along with hundreds of liens, judgments, and other government filings reviewed by the USA TODAY NETWORK, document people who have accused Trump and his businesses of failing to pay them for their work. Among them: a dishwasher in Florida. A glass company in New Jersey. A carpet company. A plumber. Painters. Forty-eight waiters. Dozens of bartenders and other hourly workers at his resorts and clubs, coast to coast. Real estate brokers who sold his properties. And, ironically, several law firms that once represented him in these suits and others.

Send them to this article from The Atlantic - The Many Scandals of Donald Trump: A Cheat Sheet.

The breadth of Trump’s controversies is truly yuge, ranging from allegations of mafia ties to unscrupulous business dealings, and from racial discrimination to alleged marital rape. The stretch over more than four decades, from the mid-1970s to the present day. To catalogue the full sweep of allegations would require thousands of words and lump together the trivial with the truly scandalous. Including business deals that have simply failed, without any hint of impropriety, would require thousands more. This is a snapshot of some of the most interesting and largest of those scandals.


There are links to more complete sources included in the article if more facts are needed.
