        Nah, they got paid, they just had to kick a large amount back to the president, that’s how it works now. The contract was given for like 3 no bid and prez then increased it to like 11 million or something unilaterally after the fact or something.

      The article says the installation is under warranty so they have to fix it/do it again.

      Sounds like they wasted a lot of their resources in a subpar installation.

        Sounds like a lot. I wonder how much it costs to go bankrupt, have another shell company (which they lowered restrictions on recently) “buy” the gear from the old company for pennies on the dollar and keep on operating paying a fraction of the profits they made in settlements from the husk of the old company.

        Hahaha, I’m pretty sure they have to use their own money for that too. Unless they take the US government to court to try to pin it on the motorcade. Which would also cost a ton, and definitely make Donnie very mad.

        Sucks to suck. Maybe next time don’t grift the American people, fucking scum

        Everything I’ve heard says they were grossly underqualified to do the job in the first place. I don’t expect the fix to be any better.

        Which is weird, because it was clearly antifa who slashed the pool. They did arrest people for it. So how is that under warranty?
