Hundreds allege Donald Trump doesn’t pay his bills.
AMONG THOSE WHO SAY BILLIONAIRE DIDN'T PAY: DISHWASHERS, PAINTERS, WAITERS

So it comes as no surprise that he doesn't give a rat's ass about Federal workers going without pay due to the Trump shutdown.
Did you hear about the 200 Polish construction workers he hired, to tear down the department store, where Trump Tower now stands? Seems he hired 200 undocumented Polish laborers, at five bucks an hour, to tear the department store down. Then he stiffed them for their wages! He does have a history of this!
I looked up this story -- appears that it's mostly true. Here's what Politifact says:
It was Trump’s contractor, not Trump himself, who hired 200 undocumented Polish workers to demolish a building to make room for Trump Tower in Manhattan. Trump said he didn’t know. The lawsuit sought $1 million in damages, and a judge ruled that Trump had to pay $325,000 plus interest.
But the case was appealed and before it was retried, Trump settled the case out of court, so it’s unclear how much he ended up doling out.
