(CNN)"It was like we won the lottery," Beth Rosser remembers. Her dad, Forest Jenkins, had just secured a $200,000 contract to work at the biggest prize in Atlantic City: Donald Trump's Taj Mahal.
His company installed toilet partitions -- not exactly glamorous, but important nonetheless. It was 1988, and a six-figure contract was huge.
"It was a big job. It was great. We were all excited," says Forest's son Steven Jenkins. Jenkins spent a month working at the Taj. "I had the fuzz from those carpets on the wheels of my dolly for months after that job."
But what seemed like a winning ticket soon turned into a nightmare when the paycheck never came.

OP
Well, Trump talks about hiring people, he did not say he paid them. Trump is a fraud.

There could be no more powerful messengers than the average Americans who have been ripped off by this grifter. If these commercials aren't already in the can it is nothing less than political malpractice by our side.
