Trump campaign is required to pre-pay for security of Thursday's rally in Mpls. No pay, No rally!

[mysteryowl]

$530K bill from Mpls. to campaign may spur suit.

Tensions between Minneapolis city leaders and President Donald Trump’s campaign escalated Monday when the campaign threatened to sue the city for trying to force it to pay $530,000 for security during this week’s rally.

Trump’s campaign team said in a news release late Monday night that Mayor Jacob Frey is “abusing the power of his office” by “conjuring a phony and outlandish bill for security” to cover those costs for Thursday’s campaign rally.

City officials told the Target Center, which is managed by AEG, that it would be responsible for paying the costs. The center then allegedly tried to pass the bill on to Trump’s team and told them they would not be able to use the arena unless they agreed to the charges.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has been outspoken rejecting Trump from visiting Minneapolis. "He is not welcome here!"

This is awesome that Trump is being required to pre-pay for Thursday's rally security fees $530,000.
No pre-pay, no rally at the Target Center!

[duforsure]

1. He's cheated others before

By refusal to pay afterwards. All cities should refuse his rally's if he won't pay for services rendered.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

50. El Paso has been stuck with a $563,000 unpaid bill for a rally.

You know, it was the rally Trump bragged to the first responders about when he made his token appearance after the mass shooting there.

[TheRealNorth]

2. If he doesn't pay.....

Time to put an oversize parking boot on Air force 1

[gab13by13]

23. Lol, post of the day.

[Celerity]

45. +2

[Grokenstein]

59. That would make me so happy! n/t

[sarge43]

63. Now that would be must see TV.

[MiniprotesterTodd]

79. The #GrifterInChief has no shame

Why does everyone adore a guy who skips out on his check to see THEM?

[Newest Reality]

3. Well, well, well.

No more freebies for he deadbeat, finally? Nice. Nice.

Like Wimpy, he may want a hamberder today, but will not be paying you on Tuesday. Ripoff Donnie. It sure took long enough for people to catch on.

Cut him off!

Oh, and edited to add: Suing will take a while, chump. So what? No rally for now, then.

[slumcamper]

42. YES--CUT HIM OFF. And lock him up! n/t

[alwaysinasnit]

51. I like the "Ripoff Donnie." Can I add "Deadbeat Donnie?"

[Newest Reality]

53. Sure...

Crooks have aliases, don't they? Con men can use whatever name they want when needed. I guess we can call them as we see them.

[calimary]

75. "Deadbeat Donald" is FANTASTIC!

Needs to be said, read, and SPREAD!

[Jarqui]

4. Trump campaign has been stiffing cities all over America - not paying security bills

https://publicintegrity.org/federal-politics/donald-trump-police-cities-bills-maga-rallies/

Good for the Mayor

[tavalon]

5. I would pay to see that moron have a rally this week

I hate the sound of his voice, but I will watch it to see the tRumpus impeach himself. Again.

The impeachment is strong in this one. Hey, if he can throw around the word "impeachment" without any understanding, I can throw it around correctly.

[LisaM]

6. I was thinking about how he stiffed vendors today.

Did anyone notice that while, no matter the supposed "topic" if each debate, the moderators fixated on Hillary's emails, but not one asked about Trump's bankruptcies, how he stiffed vendors, or how he funneled his foundation money into personal vanity purchases, and it was left to Hillary to being those things up?

[mysteryowl]

10. Trump firm 'refusing to pay' legal bill for windfarm case (10.8.2019)

Scottish government says US president’s company has not accepted bill of tens of thousands of pounds

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/oct/08/trump-organization-rejects-legal-bill-after-losing-windfarm-court-battle

[avebury]

18. They should just shut his business down until he pays up. nt

[keithbvadu2]

36. Scotland can put security at the entrance to Trump's golf course. Very good security.

Scotland can put security at the entrance to Trump's golf course.

Very good security.

[Disaffected]

60. A hundred bagpipers

playing 24/7 at the gates (and wearing nothing under the kilt) might do the trick.

[slumcamper]

43. A LOT of us noticed, but Orange Julius controlled the narrative.

[not fooled]

76. Yeah

and fraudulent charity, mob ties, appearing in e.g. old Playboy videos (I guess as a kind of host, mentioned on Rachel tonight when she pointed out the hypocrisy of old-timey GOPee crook anti-porn crusader ed meese getting a medal from red don), etc. ad nauseum.

So much sleazy history skipped over to fixate on the eeeemmmaaaiiillllzzzz.

[Blue Owl]

7. Keep your bullshit cesspool circus away from here

Get bent, Donnie...

[marble falls]

8. Feels like the beginning of the end,

[FloridaBlues]

9. One would think the trump campaign could well afford it seeing they raised 125 million

I hope the city doesn't cave !

[not fooled]

77. Well,

propagandizing 10s of millions of idiots is costly. Gotta pay for those facebook ads.

But I agree--no more credit for the deadbeat.

[tanyev]

11. Good! Every city needs to start doing this.

Especially cities that are still owed money by the Trump campaign.

[mysteryowl]

12. A new precedent!

[calimary]

74. Like El Paso.

[smirkymonkey]

13. Bwahahahaha!

[mysteryowl]

14. I am sure Target Center and the City of Mpls would refund any unused funds.

[kiri]

27. Please put up a bond of $500,000.

Please put up a bond of $500,000.
We will keep track of the extra costs and happily refund any over-payment.

[mysteryowl]

31. We should call Mayor Frey with this!

[MineralMan]

15. We Minnesotans weren't born yesterday.

We've seen what Trump does. I think it would be funny if the rally ended up being cancelled. I hope that happens!

The city was smart to charge the venue for the security costs. That way, it would be the venue that cancelled, not the city.

[Flaleftist]

16. It's about fucking time someone figured it out.

Get your money in advance if you are providing services for Trump.

[dalton99a]

17. Other cities and counties should do the same

[dlk]

19. When dealing with a known free luncher & deadbeat, prepayment is a requirement

I’m surprised it’s taken venues so long to catch on.

[Augiedog]

20. Finally people are wising up to this asshat

[Dem2theMax]

21. After all these years of non-payment,

Someone finally decides to tell him he has to pay up front?

[Vinca]

22. Long overdue. It's time for Trumps to pay their own way.

[ancianita]

24. THIS. The exact way to do business with Trump. Or he'll screw you over like the con he is.

[Wounded Bear]

25. So, Trump is suing for the right to cheat Minneapolis out of security fees...?

That about right?

[mysteryowl]

29. Exactly. What would the law suit be?

[TrogL]

54. I suppose they could try to prove they were being treated differently

Unfortunately that would open the can of worms of why they are being treated differently. Past history of non-payment.

[DFW]

26. I don't know what they're so worried about

No one but staff seems to show up at these things anyway.

[Hoyt]

28. Only way to deal with crooks.

[mysteryowl]

30. AND prevent a rally!

[Captain Zero]

34. No Pay, Slow Pay, meets its match.

The laundered payoffs for turning over Donbas and the Kurds should be in the Trump Tower servers by now. He could pay with that.

[LonePirate]

32. This is exactly how to treat cheats and frauds like him.

[world wide wally]

33. Has he squeared up with El Paso yet?

[Sugarcoated]

39. Oh, come on, lol

You know the answer to that

[Midnight Writer]

35. A law suit may bring welcome publicity to reveal Trump's cheating ways.

[Jim__]

37. Deadbeats pay up front! - n/t

[Sugarcoated]

38. What an embarrassment

Crooked Don doesn't actually feel embarrassment, he is embarrassment personified. Living breathing blob of embarrassment.

[ffr]

40. Why, is there a problem with tRump's credit?

[Ilsa]

41. Yeah, he usually disputes the charges, then tries

to make the debtholder settle for pennies on the dollar. There's a reason US banks stopped lending to him: he's a poor credit risk.

[mdpc]

44. El Paso still has not been paid for February security as of August

https://www.texastribune.org/2019/08/05/donald-trump-campaign-el-paso-shooting/

[barbtries]

46. if they don't get it up front,

they may never get it. good move Mayor

[catbyte]

47. If I were them, I wouldn't take a check. Direct wire transfer, please.

On edit, it's rich that the campaign accuses Minneapolis of "abusing power" given what Mussolini Mini-Me tries to do.

[AllyCat]

48. People pre-pay for goods and services all the time

Don’t see what legal standing he has.

[UpInArms]

62. Pre-pay at the pump is a way of life

You can’t take groceries from the store without paying ...

The list is endless

[Baconator]

80. I miss pay at the pump...

Still have to go inside the store in Germany.

[IndyOp]

49. I so desperately miss the days when a city's stadium would've been named

for the city or the sports team or a citizen who made an important difference in the well-being of others in that city.

Target?

[trueblue2007]

52. TRUMP IS A CROOK .... LOCK HIM UP !!!!

THEY SHOULD ALL SUE HIM

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

55. Take him to small claims court.

Although the amounts are all well above what those courts deal with.

I'd love to see Judge Judy jump all over him.

[BadGimp]

56. there will be blowback and it will be ugly

[Norbert]

57. And ask for a cashier's check

His check will probably bounce and, of course, he is above the law. He can write bad checks.

[kwolf68]

66. If Trump was buying something from me

I'd require an ID just to take cash. The guy is pond scum.

[Mc Mike]

58. Go somewhere else, deadbeat. All the big cities voted against you,

don't want you and your few pinhead rabble fans around, and don't want to pay for you and them to come around.

Go rally where your base is, rural swamps and deserts.

[Rabrrrrrr]

61. Way to be smart, MN! My hometown is still owed more than $50K from Donald's visit in 2016.

fucker never pays his bills, even when he's got other peoples' money to pay it.

[keithbvadu2]

64. Unpaid bills in other cities.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/10142378607

[cstanleytech]

65. If he doesn't want to pay then don't provide the security simple as that.

[Hotler]

67. Put liens on his properties and call in a collection agency. Ring his..

fucking phone of the hook. Send tons of bills and add interest. Treat him as if he had over due student loans.

[SallyHemmings]

68. Money order please

I sure as hell wouldn’t accept a check.

[warmfeet]

69. Good!

I hope it keeps him out of my state. The fucker in chief is not welcome here, nor are his rabid supporters.

[Ahpook]

70. Wise move

They will never see it otherwise.

[world wide wally]

71. If I still drove a taxi cab I would make him prepay the fare

[krispos42]

72. Given Dolt 45's long history of not paying bills that come in...

...this sounds like an excellent idea that should be SOP for all places he visits. Ever.

[7wo7rees]

73. Morning, Dickhead.

?w=228&h=229

[not fooled]

78. He can always hit up Anthony Kennedy's son--

aka red don's personal banker at Deutsche Bank--for another loan (back by russkies, quite likely). Is the son still working there?

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

81. Agreed to the charges???

Agreed???????? Hell, I wouldn't agree to take his check. I would insist on 5300 $100 bills and send a team with 5 Royal Sovereign 4-Way Counterfeit Detectors.

[rickyhall]

82. The President is a deadbeat.

deadbeat: noun

[eppur_se_muova]

83. Most checkout registers have signs saying "do not accept checks from these individuals" ...

Deadbeat Donnie should be on every list.

PS: This hints at a PhotoShop job ... listing all his recent unpaid bills.
