Given his legendary reputation for stiffing contractors, it's amazing anyone does any business at all with him without getting paid cash up-front.
Yeah, this. I don't understand it. Why does anyone not in the MAGA cult do anything for this man if not fully paid up front? It's been decades since he was well known for not paying his debts and stalling as much as legally possible if taken to court to make him pay. There shouldn't be a single person who is in a position to provide services to him that doesn't know this!
It’s amazing that these cities let him hold another rally after stiffing them twice.
Not if the people in charge or approving it are republicans. They don’t care about tax payer money. At. All.
Fool me twice and all that shit
You’d think at some point they would learn their lesson but they seem to love footing the bill.
It's amazing he can step outside without People trying to sho... oh wait.
It's amazing that even after not paying for the 2018 rally, they still hosted his 2023 rally and then shocked Pikachu when he didn't pay that
Banking on a win perhaps
They weren't wearing enough restrictions, so people like Trump couldn't help but take advantage of them!
Old totals from who knows when
Jesus, he went to Burlington VT? Was he trying to generate so much psychic dissonance that he summoned the angry ghost of Ethan Allen?
I’m shocked he went to Lebanon OH, it’s like a suburb of one of Ohio’s medium cities. But Trump is a true egalitarian, he’s just as likely to stiff them as significant locales like Albuquerque
How does he simply get to choose not to pay back his debts? Like how is this shit optional??
Exactly. Why don't they get payment up front and ban him in the future until the debt is paid?
Once your debt is big enough, it's mainly their problem not yours.
I mean sure, but I think the point is that the average Joe would probably already have a collection agency harassing them while he's still in the "it's all just a misunderstanding probably. Let's just ask him again." situation
"If you owe the bank $100 that's your problem. If you owe the bank $100 million, that's the bank's problem."
I'd be arrested for fraud if i somehow owed the bank $100 million.
Somewhat it's correct... It's like it's not my problem now as I have not paid the previous debts... It's ur choice that u still accepted me... Trumpshit
I was gonna say, doesn't this go back to 2016?
I'm pretty sure the reason Trump went to St. Cloud instead of Minneapolis of St. Paul is because all the big venues here are all owned or managed by some public group or another. Target Center (T-wolves,), the Minneapolis Convention Center, are both owned by Minneapolis out right; US bank stadium (vikings), Target Field (Twins baseball,) and the Xcell Center (the wild,)
Which really leaves Allianz field and CHS stadium, both of which are in St Paul, and it's dubious that the city would allow the event permits after the shitshow that happened during the 2020 Minneapolis rally. (something about day's notice, and among a lot of other things, ravening hordes of bigots from... not the city... many were just out-state rednecks, most were not from Minnesota at all, descending on checkpoints and not wanting to give up their firearms while also not having nearly enough porta-johns to accommodate them. ) (for anyone wondering. No. a security guard is not going to unlock the door and let you use the restroom because you're waiving firearms at them. they're going to leave the door locked and run away while calling the cops.)
That's just GOOD business! But we need to JAIL all these MOTHERS Shoplifting DIAPERS!
Start putting liens on his big dumb buildings. That should get his fucking attention.
They all have lines against them already, the banks won't do it.. that's why he couldn't get the loans to pay the courts on time. If he had it he would have paid it day 1 and laughed it off to turn it into a power move as if he lost nothing, instead he was humiliated
Better send it to collections and get debt collectors revved up because y'all ain't gonna see a cent...
Well I mean after he loses, is convicted and is subsequently sued they're.never getting paid. Might as well give it the ol college try now.
That fucker is never going to be held accountable.
Lol, why woukdnthey let him back when he hadn't paid the first debt. They need to learn to get paid up front or say no.
If they can get the liens in place quickly enough, it can apply before he has to sell his stuff to pay for legal penalties.
He's only able to pay his debts when stupid people buy his (overpriced, useless) stuff. The ones not buying his coins and shoes and stuff are the ones to blame! /s
I feel bad for nobody.
Why does he bother having rallies in places like Spokane? I know there’s many country places in WA that are conservative areas, but don’t all of that states electoral votes go to one candidate? Or no?
What’s new?
