When he visited my town for his rally he stayed overnight. Cops worked extra hours, city offices and schools were closed, streets were blocked off every time he moved anywhere. Extra security and city disruption isn't free just so he can schmooze with donors and have cultists fawn over him. That has no governmental function or purpose other than to prop up his ego. This is a blue state and many of the rally morons were from out of state. He was hoping for a confrontation for Fox news to film and make a big deal over but he was ignored (mission failure).
When he visited my town in Florida, someone in the crowd hollered that we should just shoot immigrants. Trump laughed and implied that only in this part of America can a person get away with that. I was disgusted. People had to come from Alabama, GA, and all parts of Florida to fill the place up which was not even a large gathering. I hope it is the last time he ever comes here. We are getting our house ready to sell so we can get the hell out of Florida.
The Trump campaign is not paying cities for police overtime, venue fees, and other expenses. Who would have thought? The campaign owes millions of dollars to many cities across the country; over $500,000 each just to Minneapolis and El Paso. Cities can't say no; they have to provide the extra protection and venue whether POTUS is a deadbeat of not. Oh, the irony; Trump is directly stiffing the people who voted for him. Now that's a way of giving his supporters the finger.

Why should taxpayers be picking up the cost for all of this?
The idea that those busloads of Trump fans are boosting the economy is just nonsense. If this all-you-can-eat buffet crowd spent more than $20@ on anything but donating to Trump it would be a miracle.
We're waiting for convictions, c'mon show us........which were claimed by many of you. Any huge corporation will have a ton of judgments and fines. How does this make Trump a bad man? I have a very small construction company and I'm going to court now with a subcontractor.....that makes me a bad man? No, he screwed me....did y'all ever think of that possibility?
You guys seem to think that the owner of a huge worldwide corporation is personally knowledgable of everything that goes on in his company......really....?
So you're saying the City of Green Bay, Wisconsin, El Paso, Texas, and Minneapolis, Minnesota, and many others screwed Trump? How? They offered him good and services for a fee. He accepted the goods and services, then did not pay for them. Now if this were a one time thing, it could just be an oversight or mistake, but he has been doing this for decades and has done this in several cities. But this isn't a mistake. It's called DT is a deadbeat and doesn't pay his bills.
Over the years, Trump has piled up thousands of lawsuits for not paying bills. The electricians who worked on that Trump DC hotel had to sue to get paid.
They won an award for their work and Trump claimed it was substandard.
Trump is a deadbeat. I don't know why venues and cities don't demand payment up front.

there are cities that sent the Obama campaign bills they never paid. That's the way the cookie crumbles.
I certainly wouldn't be surprised either.... So are you saying Trump is no better than Obama in regards???? A great man and president would rise above that... "Make America Great Again" starts with Trump's own actions as president.
I typically am pro-business. However, I don't like it when the big business screws the little guys... and Trump has a long history of doing this as a businessman.. and now he's screwing the locals of these rally hosting venues.
Mama always said, two wrongs don't make a right.
