With trumps track record of paying bills, I don't feel sorry for these cities.

This is the way he has always done business. I don't have any sympathy for anyone who doesn't demand cash up front.

@#2 ... With trumps track record of paying bills, I don't feel sorry for these cities. ...

In some respects I agree, and kudos to those cities/towns that required payment up front.

On the other hand, this is the person the GOP has nominated for the Oval Office,

A lot of people bent over for Trump knowing they wouldn't pay him.

some this country's most prestigious lawyers were stiffed. You think those guys didn't know what was going to happen?

there was payment in other ways. I'm betting some wealthy folks, one way or another, ensured people got paid.

This piker's reputation precedes him. Amazing that any local government, including those in deep red states, would not get paid upfront for police/fire/EMT presence, as well as for facility fees for ANY political event. I'll wager that the Harris campaign is getting billed for (any paying) similar charges.

This situation brings into clearer light the recent SNAFU regarding buses at Der Dotard's Coachella event...

Yup.

Yet the GOP still has him as their plan to gain control of the oval Office.

Trump still owes a lot of cities for rallies in 2016 and 2020!

In addition, across America, he owes million in unpaid landing fees for his jet.

You're a sucker not to make Trump pay in advance for anything/everything...

That pig does this every election. What really sucks is that these cities are packed with a majority of folks that do not vote for that scumbag traitor and yet get these bills whenever he invites his fanbase of garbage humans into their cities.

Just like he left America with a 2.3 trillion dollar unpaid debt.

How is this a surprise? This was his business model for many years.
