They knew he would. Like everybody else in the world.

OK
OK
Trump likes to portray himself as the master businessman - "The Art of the Deal" - but the reality is that, unless (to borrow his own words) he "has all the cards", he has nothing.
No charisma, charm, intelligence, nous.
Just bullying in lieu of guile.
I would not recommend Trumps.....stiff everyone you owe money to...style of business, unless you are prepared to spend many hours in court and many millions paying lawyers. They have caught up with the fraudster, but his presidency hast stymied any legal dealings for now. There was bound to be a couple of cases that would squeeze through, but the adulterous rapist fraudster has largely escaped justice thus far.
And he's orange, and fat, don't forget that.
Trump has a poor reputation for paying his bills.
If he honoured his debts he'd be broke. How many banks refuse to lend to that toxic name now?
As far as i can see he's negotiated a deal that's close to the deal America had with China before all his tariff trickery messed American consumers around. Impressive.

It's certainly more impressive than the Brexiteers' performance.
While Trump waddles around the world making an ass of his fat orange ass the government shutdown has reached the point of complete meltdown. Even moderate bipartisan senators like Mark Warren have had enough.
Senate Republicans have repeatedly sidelined Democrats this year at major points, passing a sweeping domestic policy bill along party lines this summer that also included a debt ceiling hike — sidestepping a default cliff that has previously forced bipartisan compromise. In March, Republicans drafted a stopgap funding bill on their own and then essentially dared Democrats to shut down the government. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer flinched then, but one big hint that Democrats wouldn’t be up for a repeat was that Warner did not join him at that time in helping to advance the shutdown-averting legislation. In a statement with Kaine, Warner explained that the stopgap gave a “blank check to Donald Trump and Elon Musk to continue attacking the federal workforce.”
“I am doing everything in my power to stop Trump and his unelected co-president from overhauling the federal government so they can enrich themselves and leave Americans in the dust. But that makes me one of their top targets,” Warner wrote in one recent online fundraising solicitation. In one recent shutdown-themed clip, Warner sought to debunk “as many Republican lies as I can in 90 seconds.”

Only a few more days to beat the previous record set during Trump's first term.
