I thought he swore up and down he didn't use one... didn't need one.
Couldn’t follow mine even if he wanted to.
Wasn’t making fun of Biden for using teleprompters because that meant he was old and feeble and unqualified a big thing for trump and his minions not long ago?
They don't care about truth or integrity if those things interfere with white supremacist hierarchy.
That’s amusing that his rally rambling is prewritten.
Regardless of, he will stiff contractors, anyway. That's what he always does. Ask the people who build his hotels and casinos...
Maybe if we prosecuted wage theft in this country, Trump never would have been president to begin with.
As far as I know, it is contractors he stiffs. I don’t know what kind of clauses he has in his contracts but that is a little different than wage theft. I do think he should pay contractors for the work they have done regardless of what type of law they fall under.
I can say that if you contact the department of labor over wage theft of a regular salary, they are actually really responsive. I have a friend who filed a report very recently over his employer manipulating his time sheet and not paying him for all of the hours worked and he got a call back within 12 hours even though they say it can take up to ten days. It was surprisingly quick. They set him up with a department of labor app to track his hours going forward to document any future discrepancies between his actual labor and the number of hours he is getting paid for. The situation is ongoing so I can’t say what the resolution is yet, but they sounded pretty supportive.
I wonder how many employers you've just scared the shit out of.
That's a contract dispute. It's not his employees doing it, it's whoever runs the company he is contracting for the event.
Not that you're wrong, I'm sure that he's committed his fair share of wage theft and if he had been a prosecuted wage thief it may have been enough to keep The Apprentice from airing which would have kept his popularity down. It could have also turned the tide against him in the 2016 election.
Just further evidence that getting anywhere near him puts you at risk, even if you're trying to be on his side. Trump will betray literally anyone the very second it is in any way convenient to him.
"Threatens to stiff contractors," LOL. He is notorious for fraudulent nonpayment. They already know they aren't getting paid, or they have been living under a rock.
As if they weren't gonna get stiffed anyway. He has a history of fucking over people that work for him
