Looks like three issues with DT are sticking

in the sense that people are at least beginning to talk about it.

The Pam Bondi situation
Trump Modeling Agency situation
Trumps's tax returns

and maybe: Trump University lawsuit?

Hope this stays for a while atleast and someone sues him.

The charge of raping a 13 year old girl, which will go to trial. This makes me physically ill to think that a blind eye is being turned to all of his predatory behavior.

I want him nailed for that more than anything. Grown men who rape children are the lowest scum around.

He stiffs the people who work for him. Never seems to stick - the media never brings it up and nobody asks him about it.

And we only hear about those incidents in her past which have been turned into "scandals" by partisan Congressional hearings and Faux News. Never about any accomplishments.

Wed Sep 7, 2016, 10:02 PM
Sep 2016

against Trump for failing to pay the paint company (a Mom and Pop affair I think) that painted his Doral Country Club renovation. The case was decided the week after the Repub National Convention. Trump refused to pay the last installment of his payment because, as he said I think, "I've paid enough." He owed the guy about $28G but probably thought the guy wouldn't want to sue because of the attorney's fees, but he did. The judge awarded the guy his final payment plus his attorney's fees.

But as the painter said when he was asked about it, It was good to win the case but he hasn't given me a penny yet.

I would suggest that the painter be prepared for a long wait.

Here's one of the newspaper descriptions of the case:

Trump Taj Mahal Settles Over Anti-Money-Laundering Violations
Casino To Give $10 Million Unsecured Claim To Treasury Department


By Peg Brickley
Updated Feb. 11, 2015 3:13 p.m. ET

Atlantic City, N.J.’s embattled Trump Taj Mahal casino has agreed to a settlement of federal findings that it violated anti-money-laundering requirements.

The Treasury Department’s financial crimes enforcement regulators in December told Trump Taj Mahal Associates LLC it had violated the Bank Secrecy Act’s “program, reporting and record-keeping requirements,” according to papers filed in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Wilmington, Del.

Trump Entertainment Resorts, the casino unit’s parent company, noted in a statement that the civil consent order was reported in the Chapter 11 plan voting materials that have been approved for creditor balloting. The company detailed the settlement Tuesday in a motion seeking approval from a bankruptcy judge. Trump Taj Mahal has agreed to consent to the assessment of a $10 million civil penalty, and admits violations of the anti-money-laundering program requirements.

Many of the violations cited by regulators for the years 2010 through 2012 were previously pointed out to Trump Taj Mahal, according to findings that were filed with the proposed settlement agreement.
