2. For Trumpy-boy, stiffing creditors never gets old.

I thought he'd stiff Tulsa. Watch what happens.

When are the city mayors going to get smart and refuse to accommodate his next "rally" until he PAYS HIS BILLS IN FULL, and, pays in advance for his coming rallies?

Now... the Tulsa mayor ought to keep a watch on the bills that they're charging the Trump campaign, and call press briefings demanding that Trumpy pay up. This needs to get in the public domain.

I'm surprised, given his history, that he'd be welcome anywhere! Good to see you, too, my friend!

9. These cities really don't have a choice when Trump selects them, do they?

Either they falsely believe they'll be reimbursed, they believe that the commercial opportunities outweigh the liabilities (e.g., restaurants, lodging, retail, etc.), or Trump will "make trouble" for them if they don't accept his "invitation" to speak (e.g., withhold federal funding, etc.)

Trump still owes El Paso $569,204 for his rally SIXTEEN MONTHS AGO.

Trump has a history of stiffing cities, banks, subcontractors, and the IRS.

When he leaves office, after the fumigation, there needs to be an audit. Just imagine the bill America is going to get stuck with.
