    Yeah, real champion of the little guy:

    Donald Trump casts himself as a protector of workers and jobs, but a USA TODAY NETWORK investigation found hundreds of people – carpenters, dishwashers, painters, even his own lawyers – who say he didn’t pay them for their work.

      Why pay people the wages they’ve earned, when you could not? /s

        With Trump, it works the same way as loyalty – everyone owes him, but he doesn’t owe them.

      Man, I remember reading this article back in 2016. It stood out to me because it really exposed Trump for who he was pretty early on in all of this. It’s insane to think about all that has transpired since reading it.
