Donald Trump thought he could use his usual tactic of "I've paid you enough already" to get out of a painting bill for his golf course, but the mom-and-pop paint store took him to court and won.

From The Miami Herald:

Circuit Court Judge Jorge Cueto, presiding over a lawsuit related to unpaid bills brought by a local paint store against the Trump National Doral Miami golf resort, ordered the billionaire politician's company to pay the Doral-based mom-and-pop shop nearly $300,000 in attorney's fees.

All because, according to the lawsuit, Trump allegedly tried to stiff The Paint Spot on its last payment of $34,863 on a $200,000 contract for paint used in the renovation of the home of golf's famed Blue Monster two years ago.
