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 them to over $740,000.
The Erie claim was made by a spokesman for the city’s Democratic Mayor Joe Schember during a conversation with the Erie Times-News.
It 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—were still seeking last month for rallies that took place between 2016 and 2019, a Newsweek investigation found.

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
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.)
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
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.
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?
