This has become fairly common with Trump after cities experienced him not paying his bills later.

the campaign paid in advance due to Asheville's policy for short-notice bookings
This makes it sound more like coincidence than the city actually doing anything about Trump being a deadbeat.
Not complaining, since that is a fair policy to have, but it doesn't sound like anyone is "sticking it to him" like the article makes it sound.
While it would be improper to prohibit Trump to speak just because he is crap, if he is a known deadbeat, I don't know why some of these places don't pass an amendment to prohibit anyone renting space while they currently have past due fees. If Trump or whoever it may be stiffs the city, it's the residents picking up that loss, which is unfair to everyone.
I actually put this paragraph in the description of the original post:
While the campaign paid in advance due to Asheville's policy for short-notice bookings, Trump has a long history of failing to paycities for billed rally fees, leaving the White House in January 2021 with at least $850,000 in unpaid rally debt. Most of the bills are still unpaid, including more than $500,000 owed to the city of El Paso, Texas.
…but I guess the description doesn’t get included in crossposts (at least for some clients).
Not complaining, since that is a fair policy to have, but it doesn't sound like anyone is "sticking it to him" like the article makes it sound.
I think the article is fair, but the headline is misleading.
Lol my bad, I went right to reading the article without reading the summary and pointed it out because it was tucked into the middle of the full article.
Now that I see it, great job on your part, I'm not used to seeing the important details in the blurb!
this makes me like Asheville even more, i would move there if housing wasn't so expensive
Beautiful town
But bad traffic.
I just don’t understand why people keep believing this man is going to pay his debts. This is the same guy that declares bankruptcy like it’s a sign of honor.
Trump has a long history of failing to pay cities for billed rally fees
I'm shocked.
Anyone else double-take at the spokesperson referring to the money being used for "queue stanchions and port-a-loos"?
