I'm surprised he ever payed them to begin with.
Trump isn't even a real billionaire. He pissed away his money ages ago, and with it, whatever goodwill he might have had with the Rich People's Club that keeps rich people immune from consequences. Not to mention he should have a reputation for stiffing everyone he offers to pay for things, so if bribery would normally be involved, the bribe-ees haven't seen a cent. And yet he's still immune to any consequences.Billionaires only get in trouble if they steal from other billionaires.
