Being asked to produce these I feel I might have made the same mistake... Curious to know how this plays out.....

Hope they're not made of steel or aluminum.

Yea, I wonder if the company covered themselves in the contract or if they end up getting screwed.

They used to be located across the river in Louisville. I know of those guys.

Was the source of the order verified?

The owner of Eagle said the order came from Trump International.

Odd deal but Trump International or any other large organization has their go to signage suppliers. They aren't going to be calling someone out of the blue for a special project.

If they are stiffing their contractors then they have to venture out and find new ones to take the bait....

HAHA.

Probably not far from the truth.

The Trump organization has a history of hiring little guys to do big (for them) jobs and then stiffing them, since they generally don't have the capital for protracted legal battles.

reading the article. i was unclear if they confirmed who ordered it or if they just drew assumptions.
and it says some shop designed the logo to be placed on the golf tees.
so if they designed it. was it the official seal or a look alike.
it doesnt say it violated any law. but an ethics committee says they feel like it did.
was there any charges filed? if not then its just a lot of nothing.

Had not heard of this. Do you have any specifics?

There have been several articles over the years. Since there 80s there have been over 200 liens placed on various Trump owned companies. I think they ranged from like tens of thousands of dollars to over a million bucks.

He's also been cited for failing to adhere to the Fair Labor Standards Act a bunch of times for employee wage and hour theft.

The one that sprang to my mind was the architect that did some work for Trump, devoting all of his small company's resources to a job that Trump didn't pay on. I think he put the dude out of business (or nearly did so). I'll see if I can find it.

[Edit: This article is the first one that came up and has several examples.]

I'm not involved. It's a little scary.

Interesting. Thanks for the post.

On a side note, the gift shop at Trump Tower is apparently selling mugs with the seal on them too. Whoops.

Let's make sure we keep political views off this forum. I don't support any side, but it's too much drama.

Seeing as this is the "General Chit-Chat" forum, I don't see why politics would be off limits, but also nobody has espoused any political viewpoints in this thread. Just pointed out that Trump is a scumbag business man, which everybody pretty much already knew.

I thought disliking Trump was a bipartisan position anyway. It's one way to bring the country together.

It's not that it's a rule that it's off limits, but people don't know when to keep their mouths shut with politics and it creates a huge amount of drama. Every time it gets out of hand, I just want to punch people in the nuts.
