Donald Trump is refusing to pay his campaign pollster three-quarters of a million dollars

Trump has repeatedly been accused of failing to pay vendors and contractors hired by his real estate empire, including painters, dish washers, real estate brokers and a music storethat provided pianos for his Taj Mahal casino in Atlantic City. The billionaire has said he pays fairly and that he has withheld payments only when he was dissatisfied with someone's services.

Fabrizio was an ally of former campaign chairman Paul Manafort, who persuaded a skeptical Trump in the spring that he needed a professional pollster. The abrupt departure of Manafort in August and Trump's hiring of pollster Kellyanne Conway to be his campaign manager raised questions about whether Fabrizio would stay on. There have also been multiple reports that Trump and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, have rejected Fabrizio's advice.

Even though he was hired in May, the campaign did not make any payments to Fabrizio until September, when his firm received nearly $624,000, federal filings show. Trump's finance reports show that the campaign owes the firm an additional $55,300 on top of the $766,756.67 in debt that it is contesting.

Hire someone, don't like their professional advice, dump them, then don't pay them. Was told things like "stop getting off message", "use a teleprompter", "don't step all over Hillary's bad PR when she's flailing", "quit Tweeting at 3 in the morning", etc. Sort of like going to the doctor, not liking the diagnosis, then not paying him.

But then Trump hires Kellyanne Conway's polling firm and takes her on as campaign director (aka @Kellyannepolls on Twitter). She must be doing things he likes because Trump is paying her.
