I'd really like to have a look at the demolition 'contract' just to try and make sense of how the F Drumpf thinks he can get away with this crap.

Oh yeah: Forget it Jake, it's Trump Town.

How much you wanna bet Trump is going to sue them for some arbitrary reason for an astronomical sum to scare them into settling for what he owes them?

Trump obviously is a scumbag who doesn't pay contractors. This story, however, appears to be false. https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/fact-check-dont-buy-claim-140000426.html

it does seem to be false. this though is pretty funny:

> Snopes also contacted ACECO in Maryland to ask for a comment on the report and await a reply to our query. At the time of this writing, the company's website was "under construction."

as much as i would not be shocked if it were true, it seems a little soon to be putting a contractor lien on a job completed less than 30 days ago. sorry to spoil the fun.

Well, as I see it, they are getting exactly what they deserve.

This morning I was imagining "what if contractors were hired, then saw what they were being asked to do, and refused to do it." Obviously there's always going to be someone to do Donnie's dirty work, but that's the point-- if nobody does it, then he has no power.

# ...ACECO said, “We completed our work on the East Wing of the White House with professionalism and efficiency

.

Perhaps so, but there is a question regarding asbestos abatement procedures...:

I didn't see many pictures of the demolition, but also didn't notice anyone wearing hazmat suits, either. Perhaps Lord Dampnut has managed to turn the WH into a toxic waste dump, both figuratively *and* literally.

Notice how no one was surprised to see this headline. It will be true soon enough….

There is still a good chance of it coming true.
