I guess compared to his exciting legal teams from the impeachments (see Michael Wolff’s Landslide) he’s gotten it through his head he has to pay some people some time.
I still doubt he will though. That he owes them is a given.
He already is. Sometimes you can get away with not paying people, sometimes you just can’t, like a lawyer billing you hourly for an ongoing case, probably on a bimonthly basis.
It’s not like he takes all the money he gets from people and stuffs it under a mattress somewhere. It goes to people that get paid for various things.

You should look up the reason Chris Christie was fired from the transition team. (I can’t find it now, but TLDR was the money donated to create trumps transition team was being spent on the transition and he fired Christie for “stealing his money”) One of trumps defining characteristics is he literally does take all the money he can find and squirrel it away. The list of people who have sued him for non payment is enormous.
Yes, Trump’s campaign has unpaid bills in multiple U.S. cities
Very true. I was trying to point out though, that sometimes it is impossible to not pay without suffering severe and immediate consequences.
Not everyone can be equally cheated, if you cheat a powerful crime boss, very bad things might happen to you very soon, that would not happen if you had cheated some immigrant laborers for instance. There is a wide scale of people more and less vulnerable to being cheated. Trump has decades if experience finding out which is which. He cheats, but not everyone, that’s just an oversimplification stemming from how much we all rightfully enjoy insulting him. The nuance remains important though, since you wouldn’t want to inaccurately predict what might happen in the future based on an overgeneralized perception of reality.
