Запомнилась история о том, как Трамп отказывался платить нелегальным польским иммигрантам, которые работали у него на стройке Trump Tower и затянул судебную тяжбу на долгие годы.
Sullivan was a witness and gave damning testimony. He said Trump had reached out to him in anticipation of the 1990 trial. “Donald called me up and asked me to help him settle his case, so I told him that he should settle this case by paying these people what they should have gotten in 1980, and I was quite direct about it. And I told him, ‘Donald, your mother’s an immigrant, your wife’s an immigrant, mine is, about 60 percent of the American public is.’ ” Sullivan went on. “And I said, ‘Donald, if you don’t pay these people, you are going to piss everybody in the world off.’ You cannot allow the public to have an attitude that you don’t give a s--- about this.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/trumps-ties-to-an-informant-and-fbi-agent-reveal-his-modes-of-operation/2016/09/16/6e65522e-6f9f-11e6-9705-23e51a2f424d_story.html
Trump leverages people's weaknesses, being an illegal immigrant is one of them. He always looks for ways to take advantage of people, especially, in a one–shot deal situation where there's no or little recourse.
Я слушал беседу с этим персонажем на BBC-4 по этому самому поводу (кстати, у них довольно интересный алгоритм выбора наблюдателей для раздачи оценок). Там ключевая фраза начиналась так "Я всегда поддерживал и продолжаю поддерживать ...". Ещё был очень трогательный тезис "высказывание, безусловно, расистское; автор высказывания, безусловно, расистом не является, поскольку я его лично знаю".

На русском, по-моему, даже нет эквивалентной пословицы.
