Howard Gensler | Firm suing Trump over wedding chandeliers
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
FINALLY, SOME good dirt on the Donald Trump Melania Knauss wedding. According to the Palm Beach Post, the man who supplied three fancy chandeliers for Trump's opulent Mar-a-Lago ballroom says he's going to sue Trump because he's not been paid. (By the way, since wife No. 2 Marla Maples has now been officially replaced, shouldn't Donald rename the property Mel-a-Lago?) Anyway, unlike all the suck-up snookered vendors who thought they were doing the Starr Jones wedding and gave Mr. Billionaire free food, transportation, jewelry and clothes, Nicolas Jacobsen of Classic Chandeliers expected to be paid for his merchandise. (C'mon, man, the Donald didn't get rich actually paying for stuff.) "When Mr. Trump came to buy the things, he didn't want to pay the sales taxes," Jacobsen told the Post. "But I wouldn't let him take them unless he did." (Taxes? Wealthy developers don't even know what taxes are. Trump was expecting an abatement.) Within hours a Trump courier (probably some "Apprentice" contestant) returned with a check for $16,998, as a deposit. Jacobsen then had the large chandelier installed in the ballroom entrance and the two smaller ones went up in the bathrooms. Yup. "I went to Mar-a-Lago several times with copies of the invoices, and they keep saying they'll take care of it," Jacobsen said. Yeah, pal, on their own time. "How dare him hassling us over this," said a Trump mouthpiece in New York. "We're not running out of money. He'll get paid. The norm up here is three months for payment. Isn't that how it is in Florida?" If only the story ended there. No, after this tale appeared in the Palm Beach Post, newlywed Trump called the reporter to vent. "You want a story?" Trump yelled. "I'll give you a story. This guy [Jacobsen] did a terrible, terrible job. He was late with the chandeliers. He didn't have the proper equipment to install them. His bills were too high. He had to use my people to install them. We're going to end up in court because he's just trying to get free publicity. I'm not going to pay him what I owe him. That's it. I'm not paying." (Ballroom: $7.5 million. Unpaid chandelier bill: $17,000.) Jacobsen said he had done a fine job. "Mr. Trump wants to belittle me," he said. "That's his style. He is 58. When is he going to grow up? I will collect, one way or another."
