Trump had to cooperate as he's appointed McConnell's wife as Secretary of Transportation. If the GOP keeps control of the senate after the runoff, expect Biden's tenure to get delayed by the confirmation hearings and any legislation will become a crap show. This is why I am against Biden winning, I rather see Trump finish and get some legislation passed. Now it's all gonna be a crap show due to gridlock government.

So enjoy the Biden victory people.

Mcconnell was always the power behind the throne, but trump could have put in him in his place if he wanted to

He earned the hatred of him as a Democrat, so you can't play that card.

What card, I'm not gambling nor playing with you - it was a straight-up no-trick/gotcha question.

I do question the truthfulness of the links however, not saying that he may not of F'd anyone over.

What mess? That "x" amount of contractors didn't get paid and left when his AC business faltered?

Please "edumucate" me.

Pelosi is a straight-up liar while playing politics to the ultimate degree IMO.
McConnell is also a BS-er.


Both have been in politics way too long IMO.

Trump, who once bragged that he was the “King of Debt,” owed $70 million to 253 contractors who worked on the Taj and who, in turn, hired thousands of workers.

Some firms sculpted the cement on the Taj’s domes and minarets. Others installed the casino's windows and chandeliers. Still others laid the pipes and concrete pavers.

When contractors complained about delays in pay, Trump said he needed to complete audits to make sure they weren’t overcharging. Years later, when he ran for president and was asked about his failure to pay, Trump suggested that he needed to carefully check the bills because he feared that some contractors were cheating him.

y 1991, when the Taj collapsed into bankruptcy, Trump offered those contractors only 33 cents in cash for each dollar he owed. He promised another 50 cents on the dollar later. But many contractors say it took years to get anything.

And they were the lucky ones.

An Atlantic City firm that supplied paving stones lost $1.2 million. An Ohio company that made the Taj Mahal’s onion domes was shortchanged $2 million. A firm that brought in the Carrara marble from Italy went bankrupt.

If true - kinda "scummy" of him.
