“Donald Trump has a documented history of being sued by hundreds of contractors and hourly workers alleging he refused to pay them in full for their work. Investigations, including a sweeping review by USA Today, identified at least 60 lawsuits and hundreds of liens from plumbers, painters, and small business owners who claimed they were stiffed.According to contractor testimonies, the Trump Organization would often offer only a fraction of the agreed-upon amount upon a project’s completion, citing dissatisfaction, and dare the companies to sue for the rest. This tactic was particularly prominent during the construction of his Atlantic City casinos like the Trump Taj Mahal, where dozens of contractors and glass, paint, and cabinet companies reported massive financial losses. While Trump’s representatives have historically defended these actions by arguing that the organization only refuses payment to contractors who perform poor work, many of these disputes resulted in settlements where workers received significantly less than they were owed.”
