Trump has a long history of failing to pay cities for rally fees that are not paid in advance.

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/18634498

While the campaign paid in advance due to Asheville’s policy for short-notice bookings, Trump has a long history of failing to pay cities for billed rally fees, leaving the White House in January 2021 with at least $850,000 in unpaid rally debt. Most of the bills are still unpaid, including more than $500,000 owed to The city of El Paso, Texas.

    So it’s a non-story, nothing to do with Trump.

      It seems some Lemmy clients don’t show the summary of cross posts.

      Seriously no one should ever incur any expense based on trumps promise though. Everyone should make him pay up front. Especially his lawyers

      Glad this is the top comment. I really dislike headlines like this. Why be manipulative when DJT is a seemingly bottomless well of actual things to be angry about?
