Officials in El Paso, Texas, say that President Trump’s reelection campaign still has not paid its bill for expenses incurred during his campaign visit to the area early last year.
According to a local ABC station, the reelection campaign racked up a bill amounting to roughly $470,000 that had primarily stemmed from services provided by the city’s police force and fire department during his visit in February 2019.
Since then, however, officials reportedly say the city has added more than $98,000 to the bill in late fees. The president’s campaign now reportedly owes just shy of $570,000 in total charges.

If cities are still stupid enough to allow Trump rallies they deserved to be stiffed. It’s common knowledge now that the Trump campaign doesn’t pay these bills.
I think Pittsburgh is still waiting to be paid for a rally held during the 2016 campaign. And the city didn’t even want the rally to be held.
I agree — the cities should have known better. Trump, the businessman, didn’t pay his bills then. Why would these cities expect to be paid now?
