Anyway the premise is my dad (66) is saying that donald trump before he ran for president way back in the day when he was building the NY skyline was a known crook because he refused to pay some of his contractors and that it hurt a lot of families. Can this be refuted? I know he filed for bankruptcies and what not but what is the counterpoint to this line of thinking? Did it really happen and why? Regardless thats not who he is today but my dad is saying that this stuff was known before he was president and thats why alot of people dont like him still and have a hard time getting on board. Im so close to flipping my pops in fact i already think its happened, but this is one point that he loves to stick to. Hope yall are having a good day o7
Having some real conbos with my father and i have a question that i think yoi guys can help me with:
Is your dad an entrepreneur who took risk to pay hundreds and thousands of contractors? Does your dad comprehend the risks involved in conducting a billion dollar business? Does your dad comprehend the minefield that is construction?
And if your answer is yes, what then would be evidence of that?
Additional question to toss out: ever heard of a shitty contractor? Jobs big and small often find out mid contract that they are dealing with incompetent if not crooked contractors.
Kek, I work with a good guy contractor. Man oh man some of the stories he's shared about people getting screwed by shady contractors and he's had to finish up jobs. The poor home owners don't know any better. Contractors are like auto mechanics, it's hard to find an honest one sometimes.
