Trump failed to pay polish workers , I was one of them
 
years ago Trump imported hundreds of illegal Polish workers. He new he could get away with not paying them , and that is exactly what he did . We are talking about people who were making $5 an hour for back breaking work. Some of them could not even get back to Poland . Many people went hungry due to this , their wives and kids.

This is one of the saddest trump stories , check it out

Oh well, he taught them valuable lesson and they didn't even have to fill out an end of term critique. And they also got the added benefit of our cultural experience.

Did they work for a contractor?

Guest 09-30-2016 12:05 PM

The " workers " all were employed by a subcontractor and were not employed by Trump or any of his companies .

It doesn't suit the Democrats purpose to include ALL of the facts.

Guest 09-30-2016 12:43 PM

Wasn't Trump named in a lawsuit because they weren't paid and he knew about it?

Guest 10-01-2016 07:54 AM

My fellow DP = you claim to have been one of the workers that was not paid, do you realize $5 an hour in 1978 was a lot of money an hour...
Were you named in the lawsuit because you knew they were not paid?

Donald Trump and Undocumented Workers at Trump Tower

But thousands of pages of documents from the case, including reams of testimony and sworn depositions reviewed by TIME, tell a different story. Kept for more than a decade in 13 boxes in a federal judiciary storage unit in Missouri, the documents contain testimony that Trump sought out the Polish workers when he saw them on another job, instigated the creation of the company that paid them and negotiated the hours they would work. The papers contain testimony that Trump repeatedly toured the site where the men were working, directly addressed them about pay problems and even promised to pay them himself, which he eventually did.

The documents show that after things got ugly over unpaid wages, Trump sought Sullivan’s advice on the workers and their immigration status. At one point, a lawyer for the Poles testified, Trump threatened, through his own lawyer, to call the Immigration and Naturalization Service and have the workers deported. And when the Labor Department launched a probe of the Polish laborers, Trump again called Sullivan for help, asking him to meet the federal investigator at Trump’s office, according to the documents.

BS distraction thread

Guest 10-01-2016 08:53 AM

Well it not quite the same as deleting 33,000 emails when a search warrant has been served, it is a little different than saying the lives lost in Benghazi were due to an internet video, and it is not remotely similar to creating a foundation that accepts donations from conflict of interest parties and keeping most the money for yourself...is it?

:BigApplause:

This bears repeating each and every time the opposition presents another one of their BS distraction threads.

They have an order from the queen to keep all discussions away from the issues.

This is true . He threatened us with deportation . I literally was there and was one of these men.

This was a low point in my life , much has changed. I am so much wiser now.

I reread the posts so I guess I missed it twice. Who threatened you with deportation? Trump? the subcontractor? someone else?

I also read that safety rules were ignored and that some people slept on the work site at night.

I guess you are...

I did read this (in your US News link) and was shocked:
"Trump then takes that money and does with it as he pleases. In many cases, he passes it on to other charities, which often are under the impression that it is Trump's own money." Suckers.

WOW! He solicited people to donate to TRUMP foundation and in many cases passes it on to other charities...just awful!

There are plenty of negative editorial columns on the Clinton foundation, I read this and it seemed appropriate to pose to you:
"Is Clinton loyalty really so strong that people are going to argue with a straight face that the reason the Saudi, Qatari, Kuwaiti and Emirates regimes donated large amounts of money to the Clinton Foundation is because those regimes simply want to help the foundation achieve its magnanimous goals?"

Why Did the Saudi Regime and Other Gulf Tyrannies Donate Millions to the Clinton Foundation?

HILLARY FOR PRISON!

What you have said is YOU BROKE THE LAW"illegal POLISH WORKERS." You CLAIM you were working for $5.00 an hour. At $5.00 an hour you were able to SAVE ENOUGH TO LIVE IN THE VILLAGES????

If, there is ANY TRUTH to your story, you were not working for TRUMP you were hired by a SUBCONTRACTOR.
TRUTH BE TOLD, Trump could have paid the subcontractor and he or she did not pay you.

GOOD STORY-BUT IT SIMPLY CANNOT BE TRUE.
