He literally said that!

Just a few, many more at site

In the words of his campaign manager, Trump "built a lot of his business on the backs of the little guy" and has a history of "not paying contractors after [they have helped him] build something."

Donald Trump: "When I look at myself in the first grade and I look at myself now, I'm basically the same...The temperament is not that different."

Donald Trump: "Pregnancy is never--it's a wonderful thing for the woman. It's a wonderful thing for the husband. It's certainly an inconvenience for a business...And whether people want to say that or not, the fact is it is an inconvenience for a person that is running a business."

Part of a history of stiffing his contractors, Trump refused to pay an architect what he was owed after designing the clubhouse for one of Trump's golf courses. Trump offered just one-sixth the original invoice, and then bullied him with a "take-it or you'll have to sue me" approach.
