Go Asheville, North Carolina for demanding payment for the city’s expenses, prior to allowing trump to speak at his rally!!!

Albuquerque still hasn’t received a penny of almost a half million dollars for his rally in Rio Rancho. His plane landed in Albuquerque, ABQ police escorted his motorcade to Rio Rancho, back to ABQ to spend the night in a downtown hotel, and to the airport in the morning. The expenses escalated because he insisted that the high rise city hall and county buildings were adjacent to the hotel he picked. So both high rises had to be vacant while he was here, meaning hundreds of employees had to be given two paid days off.

Looks like not paying venue fees is a Trump modus operandi! Cities were stiffed in the 2020 election. https://www.cnn.com/2019/10/10/politics/trump-campaign-rallies-outstanding-invoices/index.html

Cities are being stiffed currently and this has been limiting his rally sizes. https://coppercourier.com/2024/08/13/trump-unpaid-venues-small-rallies/

Observation; if this orange clown stiffs your city for $100,000s of unpaid bills and you still vote for him, you are an idiot who deserves the other self-defeating choices in your life!

He claimed he didn’t need to pay Albuquerque because his rally wasn’t held here.

Our local news this morning had a story about how many cities were stiffed by the Trump campaign in 2016. Pittsfield, MA has sent a bill to the Harris-Walz campaign for the reimbursement of costs associated with a recent rally there, but the amount is nothing compared to the bills that Trump has racked up. (Just to clarify: I am not implying that the amount is nothing to the City of Pittsfield!)
