Same answer. It is a lawsuit. It is totally ethical and appropriate for a businessman to fight a lawsuit. Sure ... until he loses it...as he did the one in Miami. Al Those stories had gone largely unreported because no news organization had done the necessary voluminous reporting. Now, the Wall Street Journal and USA Today have documented hundreds of such cases – lawsuits, liens, judgments, and other filings. Many involve contractors trying to get paid, while many others involve Trump company employees seeking overtime or other forms of pay they say they were denied. USA Today reports that Trump companies have “been cited for 24 violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act since 2005,” a potential problem for him in presenting himself as the working person’s friend. While billing disputes are hardly unusual, especially in construction, both the WSJand USA Today quote sources saying Trump has been unusually aggressive in withholding payments and fighting contractors in court. In his 1987 book The Art of the Deal, Trump wrote, “You have to be very rough and very tough with most contractors or they’ll take the shirt right off your back.”
