Comment on A brief history of Trump's small-time swindles

A brief history of Trump's small-time swindles

President Trump has long claimed to be a fierce defender of the "forgotten" American. In his unsettlingly dark inauguration address, for example, Trump declared: "The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer. Everyone is listening to you now. ... And I will fight for you with every breath in my body, and I will never, ever let you down." But Trump has long made a career of letting down just these sorts of Americans. Despite his fiery rally rhetoric and over-the-top working-class bluster, Trump's hypocrisy on this score has always been gobsmackingly obvious, since in his former life as a real estate tycoon he left a long trail of small businesses and independent contractors feeling bilked or burned. Granted, fights between developers and contractors over payments are not uncommon in the construction and real estate business.
