Snopes says demolition company's website is "under construction". I smell rat feces. Is the company brand new? A review of who owns that company is indicated.

Upon further investigation, it appears they took down their website because they were getting too many negative comments. BBB says "This business is NOT BBB Accredited."

Here's some further information:

he came out ahead in the deal. That he won.

He said this about paying taxes.

He said this about his real estate deals.

He said this about his bankruptcies.

He said this about every fucking crooked deal he ever had a part of. Fuck everybody, because it's your fault that you believed me, and I swindled you. I'm the winner and you're the loser. - what a fuckhead.

Edit to add: And he saying this to the American people: Fuck you, is it my fault you believed me. I'm the winner and you're the loser.

that Trump repeatedly stiffed contractors and workers and STILL his businesses failed. It is like he is predisposed for failure.

without payment up front? At this point, they deserve what they get (not the earlier contractors, though).

The demolition just occurred on October 23, only 2-1/2 weeks ago, and probably wouldn't have even been billed until Oct. 31 at the earliest. Big jobs like that typically are billed on the last day of the month in which the work was done, and the payment doesn't become past due until whatever period the contract designates elapses, probably 30 days. Trump regularly stiffs contractors, of course; but this job was probably billed to the government (allegedly to be "reimbursed" by the oligarchs), which takes even longer to pay.
