Why is Donald Trump refusing to pay cities for campaign event costs?
In the final stretch of this election, Donald Trump is going city to city. Surprise, surprise, not paying his bills, insulting the cities, and insulting the people in the crowd. Not to mention, if you saw our earlier reporting over the weekend, Donald Trump is also stranding his crowds without transportation, apparently not booking transportation to leave. The venues and trapping them all throughout the night in these locations. But take a look, let's focus here on Donald Trump not making payments to the cities and stiffing them on the bills. Because when he goes in these events that he does the venues and he uses all of the local police forces for the big show of authoritarian force, like he likes to do, you're supposed to pay back the cities.
Here's the NBC. Report out. Cities seek more than $750,000 in unpaid bills for Trump campaign events since 2016. At least four cities in a county are still waiting to be reimbursed for costs associated with local law enforcement and first responders during Trump visits. And just think about that. Yes, $750,000 is a lot of money. But in the swing of things, with the money that Donald Trump's raised and the $60, $70,000, $80,000, $100 million he's paid on legal fees, you have to wonder: why not just pay the cities back? Why not pay the workers? Why not pay the contractors? Because Donald Trump is a psychopath and he gets joy. I mean this sincerely, clinically. He gets joy out of stiffing work. Workers and he gets off on it.
Screwing people off, that brings him happiness knowing that people are suffering and they have to go to him and beg for a check. He wants people to beg so he can say no. And that's why he talks about begging like a dog, because for him, it's about power and he likes bringing people down like that. Take a look, former President Donald Trump held a third rally last month in Erie, Pennsylvania. Which sits in the northwest corner of a swing state that could decide who wins the White House. Like the two other times Trump has been too Erie to rev up his supporters, he left without paying the bill. City officials haven't yet tallied up what Trump campaign owes Erie for public safety costs for his most recent rally in September.
But according to a city official, Trump owes the city more than forty thousand dollars for the rallies he held there in 2018 and 2020. 2023. It's not the only city that Donald Trump owes money to. And again, he owes the money for his most recent event. Including Erie Four cities in a county confirmed that they owe money. The price tag is over $750,000. Reached for comment. A Trump campaign official said in a text message that questions related to local law enforcement and first responder quot and first responder costs should be. Directed to Secret Service.
How much money do cities claim Trump owes for police and first‑responder expenses?
That's the secret, so blame the Secret Service for it. That's what they're doing. You have at least two municipalities seeking reimbursements. Said that they didn't have formal agreements, but that's what you're supposed to do. The agreement doesn't have to be formal. When you use the resources, you pay it. When you need an ambulance, when you need medical services, you don't go, oh, did I have a formal agreement in place before utilizing city services? No. You get a bill for those things and you've got to pay those things. Um it goes on to talk about uh some of these areas. El Paso Tac El Pa El Paso, Texas is seeking reimbursement of more than five hundred and sixty-nine thousand dollars. Um, you have Spokane, Washington, sixty-five thousand dollars.
Um, you have uh Missoula County, Montana, at least thirteen thousand dollars, Mesa, Arizona, about sixty $65,000. And by the way, I'm sure there are dozens of other cities that just didn't go on the record, but it isn't unique to these, right? I'm sure every single city that Donald Trump goes to has this issue, and maybe they're just afraid to talk about it to the press or whatever. But this is systemic. This is who he is. By the way, you know who said this is who he is? is back in 2016, um, before she's Miss Alternative Facts, Kellyanne Conway.
