Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

The left thinks the GM reorganization is a great American success story.

 

What was the hours threshold back then?

 

People rarely "lose" lawsuits. They nearly all settle.

 

He won or the case was dismissed in 347 of the suits in which he was a defendant. Forty five cases remain open and 173 are listed as closed/other (I'm not really sure what that means). The rest, 1,331, were either lost or settled.

 

I said the picture was wrong but the story wasn't. In your case, the picture and the story were wrong.

 

By the way, speaking of lawsuits, Trump is a big fat lying liar:

Trump’s claim that a racial discrimination suit was ‘brought against many real estate firms’

This was not a case brought against many real estate firms; it was brought against Trump and his father. Trump did not get a better deal; he got essentially the same deal, or possibly worse, than the deal he would have gotten if he had settled before spending legal fees for two years. He also failed to live up to the deal and found himself back in court. While Trump touts there was no admission of guilt, that’s rather typical in these sorts of settlements. The Justice Department simply wanted to get the Trumps to agree to rent to African American tenants — which they failed to do even after agreeing to settle the case.

 

He was sued 3,500 times!

OK, well, he was sued half that many times!

And... he lost 38 fucking cases.

He won 450 cases, and 500 were dismissed.

And, he settled a bunch of slip and fall cases.

I can't even believe we're going over this again. The 3500 LAWSUITS!!! story was debunked in June.

Among those cases with a clear resolution, Trump's side was the apparent victor in 451 and the loser in 38. In about 500 cases, judges dismissed plaintiffs' claims against Trump. In hundreds more, cases ended with the available public record unclear about the resolution.
...
And despite his boasts on the campaign trail that he “never” settles lawsuits, for fear of encouraging more, he and his businesses have settled with plaintiffs in at least 100 cases reviewed by USA TODAY. Most involve people who say they were physically injured at Trump properties, with settlements that range as high as hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Exclusive: Trump's 3,500 lawsuits unprecedented for a presidential nominee

 

He won 451. 500 got thrown out.

That's just about half the total cases right there, where he was the clear "winner".

Of the cases that went to a verdict, he won the vast majority.

700 of the suits were "slip and fall" cases, where someone claimed to injure themselves in/on one of his properties.

Given the timeframe -- 30 years -- and the number of businesses he's involved in, and the number of properties he owns or manages, this doesn't sound like a high figure to me.

Does it to you?

 

LOL.

 

Would you do work for him or his companies without advance payment?

 

YF, you own a business, right? If that's correct, what's the threshold for the number of lawsuits relating to you and your business that would be normal?
