I have friends who work for GE and they have overhaul facilities at every major airport in the USA and many overseas. If they don't have the stuff to fix your engine they have one to swap to keep you flying until your can be repaired wherever it needs to go.

I think he never pays any bill at all until he's received enough collection notices to paper a small house. If the business does not insist to the point of threats, they'll never get a dime.

It's worse than that from what I understand. He waits for them to sue him, and then he has lawyers on staff and fights it, claiming whatever BS he can come up with as a reason not to pay, offering to pay companies a dime on a dollar, which then the company unlucky enough to do business with him is pretty much forced to take or face the prospect of a costly lawsuit that he will fight tooth and nail. I don't know why anyone continues to do business with him. Get all the money you expect to get up front, I suppose.

Remember he had his company taken away from him for 10 years while the banks ran it rationally to get their money out of him.

He's been involved in over 3,500 lawsuits in the last three decades, I'm sure there's some of both.

The Real Story Behind the $25,000 Trump Donation to Pam Bondi
When Trump used his charity to make a donation in 2013, executives claimed they didn’t know the money was going to a political group. Newly unearthed records prove otherwise.

It was the personally signed $25,000 check that landed then-presidential candidate Donald Trump in hot water—the check that sparked accusations that he had bribed Florida’s top prosecutor, Pam Bondi, with funds from his charity.

Much has been written about the suspicious timing of Trump’s 2013 gift to the Florida attorney general’s political campaign. But contrary to previous claims from Trump’s presidential campaign and company executives, new records acquired by The Daily Beast show that Trump Organization employees were explicitly told this was a donation to a political group, and emails show that Trump’s own executive assistant had met in person with Bondi’s finance director in New York City.

In its 2018 case against the Trump Foundation, the New York attorney general noted how Trump broke the law by using his charity to fund Bondi’s political group. And the charity was ultimately dissolved after a state judge found Trump had “breached his fiduciary duty” to the charity in other ways, behavior that the AG’s office called a “shocking pattern of illegality.”

The donation occurred just as Bondi was supposed to be considering joining New York’s investigation of the Trump University scam. And Trump himself got off easy. His campaign and foundation executives chalked it up to a mistake. The nonprofit didn’t realize it was a political group, the campaign told The Wall Street Journal. An ignorant company clerk hadn’t known, otherwise “we would have taken it out of [Trump’s] own personal account,” Trump Organization Chief Financial Officer Allen Weisselberg told The Washington Post.

According to him, it was the bestest and most successful agreement ever, in the entire history of the world. It was so good that grown men were coming up to him wherever he went (even on the golf course) and with tears in their eyes said “Thank you, Mr. President. You did what nobody else has been able to do. It was a super intelligent move on your part to release 5,000 Taliban prisoners, based on your deep friendship and compatibility with the Taliban.”

Interestingly, I struggled to remember some of his most common phrases. It’s amazing how quickly he got out of my thoughts and I’m so grateful for that!

Seriously, we know he’s going to claim how perfectly he would have handled an evacuation and he’ll keep yapping about it over and over and over and..........
