Las Vegas Sun, “He has used legal means to refuse to pay his creditors the contractual amounts in his businesses. He has the right to do so, and it shows his disregard for people who work for a living even in the middle class. It appears that he will litigate a conflict that would be fiscally imprudent for his creditor to proceed through a trial, and therefore, will settle the claim for a small percentage of the amount due. Trump has the financial resources to do this (as do many other extremely wealthy individuals).”[1]
The Boston Globe, “Trump boasted of his prowess at a rally in Michigan on Aug. 11. “You have to be able to do certain things” if you want to be successful, he crowed. “[I] beat the hell out of people. . . . I know how to get things.””[2]
