    I sold Trump $100K worth of pianos for his Atlantic City casino. Then he stiffed me.

    • You can't trust a company that gets 1-1/2 stars in reviews. Anyone with a record like that is a sign of bad business: https://www.yelp.com…omg
    • https://www.yelp.com…omg
    • Are you really that defensive of trump that you just call this guy a liar because of Yelp reviews? So petty.monospaced
    • I never called the guy a liar. You did, and I'll respect that call. But I do not consider listening to the reviews of real people petty as you do.omg
    • The situation may seem to point to the idea that Freehold Music, is owned by shady business men.omg
    • It's also not just yelp. Anyone who has dealt with the people there have had rude and bad customer experiences with the people there.omg
    • Well you did say you can't trust him so really you called the whole thing into question. That's essentially calling him a liar.monospaced
    • He's saying trump broke the contract. That is either a truth or a lie. You brought up reviews as a way to discredit the story. Not me.monospaced
    • And of course I don't read or mention the petty reviews. That's you again.monospaced
    • lol@ so petty. hating on trump is the highest form of existence yallyurimon
    • The guy has too much political motive which explains why both you and him are whining about an issue that occurred over 27 years ago.omg
    • At least reviews on this music shop have no political motive and is only petty because it goes against your beliefs. In addition they are up-to-dateomg
    • without ignoring any of the available facts, I think its safe to conclude that Freehold Music is a shady business based on the reviews of their customers.omg
    • So you're calling them shady liars. You are. It's pure defense of trump shitty ethics.monospaced
    • It's a one-sided accusation with 27 years past with no evidence. But you're more than willing to take his word over the other because....?omg
    • First there is the presumption of innocence. The guy got paid, but not what he wanted, but he took it. It's quite possible the pianos were absolute shit.omg
    • 1. Do you do a job without collecting a deposit and final payment on delivery with someone you don't know. He even consulted with a lawyer.omg
    • 2. The guy got paid $70,000. Which may have been lucky for him because he may have delivered horrible work, which he never denied.omg
    • 3. He agreed to the new terms. If he didn't like them, he should have not agreed, and forfeited rights for a fair trial.omg
    • I personally don't like to pay for shitty products. If you get stuck with one, if you can negotiate a better deal that works for both parties, then that is goodomg
    • Instead, the idiot comes up with a sob story 27 years later to discredit Trump. Obviously you agree with stabbing people in the back instead of face-to-face.omg
    • I didn't say I was taking his word, I was just saying it's weird to criticize yelp reviews that are 20+ years AFTER this happened.monospaced
    • I also know for a fact that this behavior was common for Trump, and that his ethics on business like this with small business owners is abysmal.monospaced
    • The guy was paid only 70% of what he estimated and invoiced. That's super fucked up, especially since it translates to actual products delivered.monospaced
    • The whole point is that he was forced, like dozens of others, to accept bullshit compensation, with threat of legal destruction if they didn't comply.monospaced
    • You are literally arguing that the man should not have trusted Trump, that he should have insisted on payment first. That's YOUR argument.monospaced
    • that is YOU agreeing that Trump had every right to stab this man in the back because the man didn't have the means to fight for what he was owed.monospaced
    • I'm defending a small business owner who was steamrolled by a business giant. You're defending the billionaire who didn't live up to a contract.monospaced
