Trump just lost another lawsuit.

Courtesy of Law Newz:  

A Florida Court of Appeals decision went against one of President Donald Trump‘s businesses earlier this week, upholding a decision ordering them to pay more than $300,000 to a paint supply company that was working on renovations of the Trump National Doral Miami golf resort. Trump Endeavor 12 LLC, the President’s business, argued that they shouldn’t have to pay due to a technicality, but the court wasn’t buying it. 

The Paint Spot had gone after Trump’s business after not receiving $32,535.87 for paint and supplies they had provided through a subcontractor that was working on renovating part of the Doral. It turned out that the subcontractor had left the job due to not being paid, at which point The Paint Spot had already provided resources for the job, which Trump’s company then continued to use without paying for them. The Paint Spot then tried to foreclose on a property lien due to non-payment, but Trump Endeavor 12 claimed it shouldn’t be allowed because they didn’t receive proper notice. As it turns out, when The Paint Spot turned in their required Notice to Owner when they were signing on for the job with the subcontractor, they filled in the name of the wrong main contractor because Trump’s own representative gave them the wrong information. 

In the end, the court ruled that it didn’t matter because the notice still went to the same address, it was Trump’s company’s own fault that the wrong contractor was listed, and there was enough evidence that both Trump’s business and the main contractor were aware of The Paint Spot’s work on the project.

As you probably know Donald Trump has a history of not paying his bills, and of stiffing contractors who have already done work for him. 

If Americans really believed that a businessman could run the country better than a politician, the least they could have done was find a GOOD businessman who does not go around ripping everybody off. 

What am I saying? He was chosen by Republicans, and assisted by the Russians.

Who else could have met their unethical criteria?

      His adult kids are just as greedy and unethical as he is.

      Don't know yet about the youngest one but I don't hold out much hope that he will turn out any better, especially being raised in the gold-plated prison in Trump Tower.

    You know, during the campaign I researched and found all sorts of good solid information about what a horrid person and businessman he is. But, try as I might, my one or two strict Republican friends would not listen. Why? Because the sources for the information -- NYT, WaPo, Newsweek, WSJ, etc were all "liberal" media that to them were not truthful. Those idiots would flat out reject anything negative about him because they don't trust the media when it is the best media we have. Yes, they have FOXNews on in their house 24 hours a day and think Bill O'Reilly is "god".

    This is what is so sad and frustrating. With formerly intelligent people rejecting the truth, I don't see any way we will ever get back to being a smart and caring country.

    This was one of the reasons why i thought that lower middle class white men would not vote for Trump. He has a long history of cheating working-class people. I was wrong. I guess they secretly admired someone who would cheat them. Now, they cannot be surprised when he reneges on his campaign promises to them. Unfortunately, those of us voters who were smart enough to see what Trump's history meant also have to live with his cheating, meanness and personal greed. It's simply his nature.

      I guess most of his supporters ignored his unethical business practices to paint him all white. They also overlooked his twitter tantrums and outbursts. They were played as fools Trump would "make them wealthy" and they would be "safe".

      Perhaps they believed that the people Trump cheated were stupid and therefore deserved to be cheated.

      THEY, on the other hand, would be too smart to let anyone take advantage of them.

    Well little donnie shouldn’t have any problem paying this bill. All he has to do is use some of the money he has cheated the taxpayers out of for over billing for things like a helipad that he is using for his resort guests or play golf there and bill the taxpayers for security and use the money to pay the painter.

    I am sure little donnie is use to “creative bookkeeping” or cooking the books, he has had a lot of practice and has no qualms about conflict of interest or not proving proof of expenses.

  10. And all of the world's leaders know about this. So that bullshit about being able to negotiate a "better deal" is just that. Bullshit. They know he's a liar and a cheat and cannot be trusted. When you've lost your "word of honor" you have NOTHING to negotiate with. He's violating agreements the U.S. SIGNED on to, so why should they believe fucking promise?

    Yes, he is the worst PERSON the Deplorables could have voted for. Even a bad politician (like Mike Pence) is better than Donald Trump. Not by much, but at least they are aware of the repercussions their words and actions can have down the line and it makes them pause and possibly mitigates their decisions. Trump is just a spoiled two year old prone to temper tantrums.

  11. The chunk of that money is in legal fees.

    The original amount owed plus $282,000 in legal fees.

    This is called penny wise and pound foolish. Trump could have saved himself a bunch of money had he just paid the amount owed. Instead he thought he could bully the paint company out of their money and instead ended up paying TENFOLD what the original amount owed was.

    This is the "amazing" business man who is the "greatest" negotiator ever who is going to save the U.S. all this money.

    Yeah, we should all be soiling our pants in fear.
