That is a very effective story for low-info voters, who`ve never hired a contractor in their life. Small town bars are full of would-be carpenters that "could`ve made the big time if only that millionaire didn`t stiff me on his bill"... no fool, the reason you didn`t make the big time was you sat in the bar the last 30 years and did shoddy work.
If those in the stories didn`t get paid in full with the mechanics lein and it went to court, then there is alot more to the story than the one side, anti-Trump reporter is giving. If Trump stiffed contractors, word would get around and he couldn`t hire anyone. A smaller local tiler told me that a BTO wanted him to do $1 million in work and he turned it down because the last job was hard getting him to pay...Well, the last 2 years after I was told the story, I`ve noticed the BTO has xxxxxxx tiling out of Dodge Center doing work...well you know how they got so rich? They`ll finance your tiling and if you can`t pay, they`ll end up with your farm, story is they ended up with alot of farms in the 80`s that way.
So I don`t buy this USA Today story at face value.
