Trump was known for dodging bills

To the editor:
I read Debanina Seaton’s recent column and must readily admit that I couldn’t possibly agree more.
In the late 1980s I was residing in suburban southeastern Pennsylvania, not far from Philadelphia, and was about to finish my tour of duty in the U.S. Navy, and my honorable discharge after six years of service as a shipboard carrier-based radar air traffic controller was imminent.
I’ll admit I was very uncertain as to just what my future held. I was literally terrified of being unemployed, since I had never not had a job since I was a young kid doing farm work in East Central Indiana.
I made sure I had more than one job lined up, and literally the very day I was discharged I actually had three part-time jobs, and was already working at two of them by that August day in 1989 that I was discharged.
The one job I started, after my discharge, that summer was working for a large, local landscaper who had secured numerous corporate contracts all over New Jersey. And since his shop and yard was a short drive across the bridge from Philadelphia, I began to work for him that summer. His company had contracts with several Donald Trump-owned corporations.
In those days, Trump and his corporations were notorious for failing to pay, or delaying payments to, numerous legitimate, legal invoiced bills from suppliers and vendors. He was constantly being dragged into court over unpaid vendor invoices. It was so common that he was actually quite notorious for it around New Jersey.
Several suppliers were driven to the verge of bankruptcy over thousands of dollars in unpaid billings.
This isn’t political, election-year mudslinging, but things I witnessed personally. Facts. Period.
Is this presidential?
It boggles my mind that this guy is somehow appealing to the so-called average blue collar worker, whom he has nothing in common with whatsoever, and never has.
Sincerely,
