Trump campaign required to pay upfront deposit of $145,000 before Thursday event in Tucson
The required deposit came about because Trump failed to pay an $81,837 bill from a campaign event he held at the Tucson Convention Center in 2016.
LOL. They're finally catching on.
Better make sure the check clears first, and don't let them use a credit card (for potential chargeback)
Don't worry, Putin is his guarantor for the loan.
So you just know he's A. Good for it and B. Totally isn't gonna defenestrate you then complain there was nobody to pay cuz companies can be defenestrated like humans. Ho
That is because unlike the Lannisters, the Trumps don't pay their debts.
They do share the whole incest thing though.
Quick guide to rally locations he owes money to
They should subtract that many votes from the corresponding states
Imagine half a million MN votes and half a million TX votes just evaporating
And whichever state DC residents' votes count for is probably blue already
whichever state DC residents' votes count for
God, imagine if everyone in the US got to vote for things. Wouldn't that be nice? Yeah, but DC doesn't have reps. They have one "delegate" for the house (no voting rights) and nothing for the senate. They can vote for their mayor, city council, and US president. End list.
$9M to DC? Is that repairs costs for the capitol?
Naw that's just the plumbing bill for the WH.
Huh they forgot Pensacola. Maybe he paid it? I wonder if those little girls that danced even got payed.
...how the unholy fck el paso ever hosted his rally after that racist shot up the place, i will never understand...
Its Texas, shootings are like a team sport for them
Trump isn't going to let anyone leave early
Hmm, sounds like a recipe for Triangle Shirtwaist Factory 2: Weirdo Boogaloo.
You can only leave early if you buy his NFTs
"Democratic Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders skipped a $45,000 bill in 2016."
That's surprising, if true. Were they out of money and already out of the race?
The city of Tucson finally has one answer to its demands that the Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders campaigns pay the roughly $125,000 the city says the two groups owe for police protection at March rallies at the Tucson Convention Center.
A lawyer representing Sanders rebuffed a formal demand by City Attorney Mike Rankin for $44,013, saying the campaign never asked for police protection and suggested it should bill the Secret Service .
“The U.S. Secret Service typically made arrangements for all security matters with regard to Senator Sanders during his presidential campaign,” wrote Brad Deutsch, a lawyer for Bernie 2016.
“Therefore, to the extent the Secret Service independently contacted the Tucson Police Department ... to assist in its security detail, the law enforcement organization should discuss cost-sharing matters directly with the Secret Service.”
now that's audacity. not paying a bill and then going to the same place again expecting to be served.
It's rumoured Trump is having trouble finding rally locations this campaign because of all the places he's been to over years without paying refusing to have him back until he pays his bills. The highlight being owing El Paso, Texas over half a million, [[1]](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-rally-el-paso-payment-b2595353.html) but that's just the tip of the iceberg.[2]
well, successful businessman, art of the deal and so on... 😆
I'm sure four seasons is still available...
I’m a venue manager. If Trump’s team wanted to organize a rally at my venue, (and I was forced to allow it), I would require 100% payment in full before they were allowed in the building.
In fact, my building collects a refundable cleaning/damage deposit, and I would intentionally over-estimate everything about the event; We estimate the event costs and require clients to pay up front. Then any overages can be claimed from that deposit, or invoiced after the event. Equipment costs, labor needs, room rental times, catering commission, merch commission, etc…
I would intentionally over-estimate all of that. So when they inevitably have some overages, (like maybe they use more mics than expected, or maybe they show up two hours early), those are already paid for in their initial payment. Then I’d just return any unused overages with the deposit, which is SOP. Because I know that if I had unbudgeted overages and tried to invoice after the fact, I’d never see a single cent.
This person knows how to handle their business; and to not trust the Orange Asshole.
Never give this flim-flam man a free ride.
That’s no way to treat the fertilization king!
Tucson has more balls then Pensacola
Democratic Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders skipped a $45,000 bill in 2016.
Wtf, Bernie?
I believe Bernie qualified for secret service by then and they were supposed to handle liaising with local PD. So Sanders campaign is saying "talk to secret service" and secret service is saying "we didn't ask for loan PD support so we're not paying".
It’s a police protection bill. Sanders was already under secret service protection by that point, and the secret service was who coordinated all of his security. So Sanders’ campaign manager basically told the city to bill the secret service instead of Sanders. Because again, the secret service was who requested the additional officers.
