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.
It is good that the cities and venues learn about Trumps’ campaign habit of not paying the bills.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if he only got a rally every other week or even less because of this, especially in the campaign endgame?
