USA Today: Trump involved in unprecedented 3500 lawsuits

[RightBehind]

Wait, Trump built and owns buildings and people sued him for either getting hurt putting the building up or slipping and falling? Or something went wrong with real estate sales and business deals?

No f'n way.

Such a non-story. Developers getting sued in NY? That NEVER happens. NEVER I tell you. What an absolute joke.

Trump is a billionaire with holdings all over the world, of course people are angling for a pay day.

When you have that many against you, you do bear some responsibility.

Not really. When you are involved in business, you have to anticipate getting sued and suing people to get the job done.

As I said, I'm sure there are frivolous lawsuits, but I do think he is at fault to an extent.

Not when you run over 500 active companies and were probably part of over 1,000 or more over the span of your business career. His holdings are rather wide and diversified.

Plus, in the construction business, you expect a few personal injury cases when workers get hurt on the job. Per job. Trump has put up some monster buildings.

As the building owner, his company gets sued, even if the subcontractor (and the plaintiff's employer) is ultimately liable for the injuries at hand and as the building owner gets indemnified by the general contractor (and ultimately the sub). It's a paper lawsuit against Trump in this sphere. This practice is especially prevalent in NYC as an end around in being able to sue your employer.

So he's completely innocent and blameless in each and every one of those? I call foul. Especially with how lawsuit happy and how much of a bully he is.

[Seriously?]

The construction PI cases, yes. The building owner is usually never on site to direct much of anything as a building goes up.

I am sure he's won a few and lost a few of these other cases, but that doesn't make him a bad guy. Just a businessman.

Except he is, indeed, bad. As I pointed out in another thread, my guesstimate is he would be the most morally bankrupt president ever by a decent margin.

I guess the big lawsuits we're focusing on today are the several against Trump U. Those are pretty awful accusations. The playbooks have already been revealed. We know the scam job they were allegedly working. I'm waiting to see how Trump gets out of this, for he states that after the trials he's going to open Trump U again.
