Trump ordered to pay $83m in defamation lawsuit

[MajesticLion]

No moderate Floridian will vote to raise their taxes to pay off Trump's personal debt . That's some shyt Castro would do

Calm down its not going to happen

Never underestimate just how far zealots will go. Things are as they are now because people continue to do exactly that.

They have numbers, they're organized and most critically, they understand timing in politics. Even outside of Trump himself, that effect is going to ripple out for years.

Do they know that state will turn purple if they push that legislation. They already can barely get home insurance down there and the sales tax going up to offset Trump's legal obligations

Before people get too giddy with this, keep in mind there's a FL state official pushing for a statewide tax to pay any of Trump's legal bills.


Which seems silly on the surface until you read it again and realize: Florida.

Thankfully--due to DeSantis, shockingly--that bill is dead in the water.

The presumptive Republican nominee is on trial for multiple civil and criminal offenses, including, but not limited to, sexual assault, fraud, and election tampering / subversion.

This is the same country that wants to lecture others on morality and democracy.

Only a white man can get away with this shyt and be considered a hero by them. I mean imagine if the Democrats had rolled out Obama in 2008 and he had 91 fukking indictments and cases pending, he wouldn't have stood a chance getting past the primaries let alone be the democratic nominee. But this motherfukker Trump got people waiting to vote for him, even black people too what the fukk wrong with they crazy asses?

I mean all those projects he built with his name for years those wasnt cheap. even if you cut corners and used cheap materials... someone paying for it..... i know he hiding money somewhere...

“He put a number of local contractors and suppliers out of business when he didn’t pay them,” said Steven P. Perskie, who was New Jersey’s top casino regulator in the early 1990s. “So when he left Atlantic City, it wasn’t, ‘Sorry to see you go.’ It was, ‘How fast can you get the hell out of here?’”

Mr. Trump told the commission in 1988 that he could rein in expenses, because conventional lenders were lining up to give him money at low interest rates. He said he abhorred junk bonds, which were then popular, because they carried a bigger risk of default and thus came with higher interest rates.
Within months, he reversed course, issuing $675 million worth of junk bonds, with a 14 percent interest rate, to finish construction and get the Taj open. In recent interviews, Mr. Trump has said that with each financing he routinely took money out of the casinos to invest in Manhattan real estate. Total debt on the Taj exceeded $820 million.
Less than two weeks before the casino opened, Marvin B. Roffman, a casino analyst at Janney Montgomery Scott, an investment firm based in Philadelphia, told The Wall Street Journal that the Taj would need to reap $1.3 million a day just to make its interest payments, a sum no casino had ever achieved.
“The market just isn’t there,” Mr. Roffman told The Journal.
Mr. Trump retaliated, demanding that Janney Montgomery Scott fire Mr. Roffman. It did.

Beth Rosser of West Chester, Pa., is still bitter over what happened to her father, whose company Triad Building Specialties nearly collapsed when Mr. Trump took the Taj into bankruptcy. It took three years to recover any money owed for his work on the casino, she said, and her father received only 30 cents on the dollar.
“Trump crawled his way to the top on the back of little guys, one of them being my father,” said Ms. Rosser, who runs Triad today. “He had no regard for thousands of men and women who worked on those projects. He says he’ll make America great again, but his past shows the complete opposite of that.”

A quarter of a century had passed since Donald Trump refused to pay $1.2 million for the paving stones her late husband installed at Atlantic City’s Taj Mahal casino. But for Paone and others like her — the dozens of contractors and their families who never got all they were owed — it could have happened yesterday.

The contractor who provided the onion domes atop the Taj had to eat $2 million in losses. The contractor who supplied the Carrara marble from Italy ended up filing for personal bankruptcy. The contractor who put in the bathroom partitions had to lay off his brother.
——
After the Taj opened in April 1990, the self-anointed “King of Debt” owed $70 million to 253 contractors employing thousands who built the domes and minarets, put up the glass and drywall, laid the pipes and installed everything from chandeliers to bathroom fixtures. A year later, when the casino collapsed into bankruptcy, those owed the most got only 33 cents in cash for each dollar owed, with promises of another 50 cents later. It took years to get the rest, assuming the companies survived long enough to collect.
'Little guy' contractors still angry at Trump Taj bankruptcy
“We got next to nothing,” says Michael MacLeod, whose 40-person studio made the giant elephant statues at the entrance to Taj. “I took a big hit.”

He rarely lost his temper. But he had billed Trump $1.3 million since February, and gotten only $100,000 despite repeated requests for more, and so he exploded one day just as his son, then 24, walked up to his office door.
“I want my money!” Philip recalls his father screaming into the phone. “Pay me my money!”
He slammed the handset down.
“Who was that, dad?”
“Donald Trump.”

He is the real life embodiment of this sketch. (White) People really just give him stuff just because.
