This was well-known in the 2016 election yet the racist and woman-hating white Americans praised him for his business acumen, saying that America needed such a business savvy man to straighten out our country.
My dad sold building entrances for many high-rise buildings in NY for many years but he would never quote Trump due to his longtime reputation of stiffing his contractors. As my dad put it to me, Trump was known for “wanting to make a deal” with the people who he owed money too.
