The pushback isn't because he did it, people have known he has a habit of not paying his debts for a while now. The pushback is because now that he's admitted it, the MAGAts will have to do another round of mental gymnastics to ignore it and pretend it's totally normal.
They'll just come up with an excuse for why those people didn't actually deserve to be paid in the first place.
It was probably immigrants. No wait, he does not want those so he is not employing any, right?
"Immigants! I knew it was them! Even when it was the bears, I knew it was them."
Wake me up when he actually pays someone
You will be missed.
Bro wants to cosplay as rip van winkle
You got me
I would have done, but you were asleep unfortunately 😴
On the one hand, I hope that this all leads to an electoral "death by a thousand cuts", bleeding support with each senile and ignorant outburst, those who were "I dunno... I may go and vote against the libruls this November" dial it down a notch to "Fuck it. Why bother?"
On the other hand, it doesn't matter what this orange parasite says and does, it never totally torpedoes his chances, this is all still a real and present danger because there are so many who fall for the divide-and-conquer propaganda, into the comfy lazy bitterness of "both parties are the same".
Add to that the twisted battleground dynamics of the electoral college, both internal and foreign interests intent on weakening democracy, republican "soft fraud" like purging voters from the rolls, and one cannot let one guard's down.
Fortunately, you don't have to follow any toxic political news or fabricated outrages or bullshit peddlers, you already have ALL the information you need to do the correct and healthy thing:
SPEAK SOFTLY
TUNE OUT
VOTE DEMOCRAT THIS NOVEMBER
It really is that simple.
To be clear he said he would bring in more people to do the extra work in order to not pay overtime.
We know he does stiff workers all the time but in this clip he didn't actually say that he has workers do overtime and then refuses to pay for it.
Is there a clip of this anywhere? It'd be great if it went viral
In TFA
Tbf, if you have unlock or privacy badger its possible the video doesn't load at all.
