Fact check: How many and what are the different projects, people, companies, and governments which donald trump in his business capacity has not paid, repaid, etc.?

1. Summary of the results

The analyses reveal an extensive pattern of non-payment allegations against Donald Trump and his businesses, with at least 60 lawsuits specifically related to non-payment and over 200 liens filed against Trump or his businesses dating back to the 1980s ^[1]. The affected parties span a wide range of industries and professions, including:

• Contractors and craftsmen (cabinet makers, curtain makers, chandelier shops)
• Service providers (dishwashers, plumbers, painters, waiters)
• Professional services (lawyers, real estate brokers)
• Construction and renovation companies ^{[1] [2]}

A specific example includes Edward Friel Jr.'s cabinet-making business, which was allegedly never paid $83,600 for work at Trump Plaza ^[2].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The analyses reveal that Trump has also been involved in significant legal actions as a plaintiff:

• Successfully settled with Disney for $15 million
• Secured a $22 million settlement with Meta
• Currently in negotiations with Paramount Global ^[3]
• Filed a $1.5 billion lawsuit against 20 media outlets regarding reported financial losses ^[4]
• Settled with ABC News for $15 million over E. Jean Carroll case coverage ^[5]

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The question itself might be oversimplified, as it doesn't account for:

• The complexity of business disputes where non-payment might be contested
• The distinction between allegations and proven cases
• The strategic use of lawsuits and settlements as business tactics ^[3]

It's worth noting that while there are numerous documented cases of non-payment claims, Trump and his organizations have also successfully pursued and won significant settlements from other entities. This suggests a more complex pattern of business and legal strategy rather than simple non-payment issues.

The analyses also show that Trump has leveraged his presidential position in legal matters, particularly in dealing with media organizations ^[3], indicating that the business and political aspects of these disputes are often intertwined.
