At this point, any town or city that is willingly providing accommodations to this grifter deserves to get screwed by his deadbeat ass.

He played a big part in destroying Atlantic City so this should come as no surprise. Refused to pay construction contractors and just said “sue me”.

Anyone who deals with this guy and doesn’t get the cash upfront deserves what they get.

It’s pretty outrageous that cities are left holding the bag for Trump’s rallies, racking up over $750K in unpaid bills since 2016. Local governments shouldn’t have to cover costs for events that benefit a political campaign, especially when those costs can be significant.

Anyone not collecting a large deposit up front and allowing him in deserves what they get.

If a dem had this kind of outstanding bills the media would treat it like the biggest deal on the planet and it would be on the front page and asked about *endlessly*. Dem voters would bail on their candidate because they have standards.
But here we are.

Red cities are happy to force their citizens to pay the bill.
Blue cities should make him pay up front.

He’s supposed to be a billionaire and yet he doesn’t pay his bills.
He’s been given too much leeway for far too long. The time has now come to lock him up. Justice needs to prevail.

Color me shocked!!
Absolutely nothing Trump does is beneficial to anyone other than himself.
Ouch , this news will hurt his campaign more ..
“Fuck ’em.” — Trump probably to his remaining attorneys.
It’s coming. Believe me. As soon as the audit is over and Mexico’s wall check clears. Two weeks tops.
