Trump campaign forced to pay North Carolina city $82K in advance for rally

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

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.

    I actually put this paragraph in the description of the original post:

    …but I guess the description doesn’t get included in crossposts (at least for some clients).

    Not complaining, since that is a fair policy to have, but it doesn’t sound like anyone is “sticking it to him” like the article makes it sound.

    I think the article is fair, but the headline is misleading.

      Lol my bad, I went right to reading the article without reading the summary and pointed it out because it was tucked into the middle of the full article.

      Now that I see it, great job on your part, I’m not used to seeing the important details in the blurb!
