As far as I know, it is contractors he stiffs. I don’t know what kind of clauses he has in his contracts but that is a little different than wage theft. I do think he should pay contractors for the work they have done regardless of what type of law they fall under.
I can say that if you contact the department of labor over wage theft of a regular salary, they are actually really responsive. I have a friend who filed a report very recently over his employer manipulating his time sheet and not paying him for all of the hours worked and he got a call back within 12 hours even though they say it can take up to ten days. It was surprisingly quick. They set him up with a department of labor app to track his hours going forward to document any future discrepancies between his actual labor and the number of hours he is getting paid for. The situation is ongoing so I can’t say what the resolution is yet, but they sounded pretty supportive.
That’s a contract dispute. It’s not his employees doing it, it’s whoever runs the company he is contracting for the event.
Not that you’re wrong, I’m sure that he’s committed his fair share of wage theft and if he had been a prosecuted wage thief it may have been enough to keep The Apprentice from airing which would have kept his popularity down. It could have also turned the tide against him in the 2016 election.
Maybe if we prosecuted wage theft in this country, Trump never would have been president to begin with.

I wonder how many employers you’ve just scared the shit out of.
