Donald Trump Got a Tax Break For Stiffing Contractors

Donald Trump Got a Tax Break For Stiffing Contractors

Trump’s $916 million “double dip” tax play had some real victims.

Donald Trump’s Taj Mahal casino in Atlantic City, N.J., nearly flushed Forest Jenkins’ company Triad Building Services down the toilet.

In 1988 and 1989, Jenkins, a contractor, spent months installing the stall walls in the bathrooms of the mega-casino. The job was supposed to pay $231,000. The check for the work, though, never showed up, stretching the finances of Jenkins’ small construction business. Eventually Jenkins, whose business did manage to survive the episode, was paid $70,000, or 30 cents on the dollar in the restructuring that followed.

He's an outlaw and criminal.

No lack of attention to detail when it comes to stealing from the vulnerable.

Trump is a serial pu$$y grabbing sexual predator, a billionaire that pays ZERO taxes and he stiffs hardworking Americans and drives them into bankruptcy so he doesn't have to pay his bills.

WTF is wrong with the idiot republicans that support this con artist???
