Trump’s history of legal actions provides clues about his style as a leader and manager. While he is quick to take credit for anything associated with his name, he is just as quick to distance himself from failures and to place responsibility on others. In one lawsuit — filed against him by condo owners who wanted their money back for a Fort Lauderdale condo that was never built — he testified in a sworn deposition: “Well, the word ‘developing,’ it doesn't mean that we're the developers.”
At times, he and his companies refuse to pay even relatively small bills. An engineering firm and a law firm are among several who filed suits against Trump companies saying they weren't paid for their work. In a 2011 deposition tied to a dispute over his deal with Van Heusen menswear, he said he abruptly decided not to sign a check to a firm that helped broker the deal, after 11 consecutive quarterly payments, because "I don't feel that these people did very much, if anything, with respect to this deal.”
Now that's the kind of take-charge attitude we need to get things done in Washington!
I remember reading years ago that his way of doing business was to call up, say, a linen service that one of his hotels owed money to and say, "Okay, I got yer bill for $1,395.86 here—how about we settle for $550?" And if you didn't like that offer, you could sue him.

Trump is a bully, but more than that he's a shyster and a thief. Richard "I am not a crook" Nixon objects to being lumped into the same category.

He's bleeding out of his wherever.
So he's going to sue each person of color and every Muslim in America to make our country white again?
