Donald Trump’s rallies are very expensive for cities, and he is required to reimburse them for the additional security costs that they incur. But as we’ve seen over the years, Trump doesn’t like paying his bills, and he now owes more than $700,000 to multiple different cities across the country. These cities are now trying to “chase down” Trump and his campaign to get them to pay them back. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what’s happening.   Link – https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump...

You may recall during Donald Trump's first run for President of the United States, that famous clip of him where he's saying, I'm really rich. Right? Well, that claim, although it was, you know, eight, nine years ago at this point, has many cities across the country wondering the same thing. And it's this, if you're so rich, why aren't you paying your bills? As we have talked about for the last eight years, and apparently still have to talk about it today, Donald Trump doesn't like paying the bills for his rallies in cities across the country, and he still owes debts to some cities for rallies that he held eight years ago. And these cities, everywhere from Texas to Wisconsin, are still trying to invoice his campaign to get him to pay the debts. As it stands right now, Donald Trump owes more than $740,000 to five different cities across the country. Some of those debts going back eight years. So here's the way that works, by the way, in case you're not familiar with it, Donald Trump says, I'm gonna do a rally in this city. City says, okay, great, but just so you know, we have to hire more police officers, right? You're a presidential candidate. Some of it happened when he was a president. Some of it happened after he was president. Either way, big security costs. The city has to, you know, suck up. We have to hire private security. We have to pay overtime for officers. We have to shut down roads. Close businesses cost us a lot of money. So you have to pay that money. And the campaign in writing agrees to that. We will pay you back all of your costs, except they're not paying them back all their costs. Most cities have been paid, five have not. Here's what it's authorities in Erie, Pennsylvania are still seeking $40,330 from Donald Trump's presidential campaign to pay for assistance. They provided for his 2018 and 2023 campaign visits, bringing the total debt. Five cities say he owes to over $740,000. This Erie, Pennsylvania debt is in addition to more than 700,000 of unpaid debts that four cities, El Paso, Texas, Spokane, Washington, Mesa, Arizona, and Green Bay, Wisconsin, we're still seeking last month for rallies that took place between 2016 and 2019. A 2019 report from the Center for Public Integrity found 10 city authorities, including Erie, Pennsylvania, and four outlined above were demanding a total of eight hundred and forty one two hundred nineteen, uh, uh, $841,219 as back payments for historic Trump rallies. They help stage. So pay your bills, right? You're really rich. Your campaign does have millions of dollars, millions, But you need that for your legal fees, right? You, you need that to go and do other things. You could write a check right now for $1 million, pay off all these people with interest and not have to worry about anything. You're literally just choosing to not do it. And when Newsweek reached out to the campaign like, Hey, why are you not paying your bills? They said, um, refer this to the Secret Service. Like, why don't you go ask the Secret Service? They'll tell you. So Newsweek's like, all right, we will. They reached out to the Secret Service and the Secret Service said quote, well, we can't speak to this specific issue between the city and the campaign. State and local law enforcement play a crucial role in our ability to effectively safeguard blah, blah, blah. So the like, yeah, we, we don't know, but we do know that we have to have the city officials helping us out.
