Memphis council doesn't want to provide TFG security because he won't pay his bills after the rally

Former President Donald Trump is scheduled to hold a campaign rally in Memphis, but the city police don't want anything to do with it.

According to Action News 5, Trump's past events that required local security resulted in hefty bills for the Trump campaign. Trump still owes El Paso $570,000 for a 2019 rally. The Republican Party wanted to move the 2020 convention to Jacksonville, Florida, during the pandemic, but that got canceled when security couldn't work with half of the budget cops were promised.

s of July 2020, Trump had over $2 million in unpaid security bills that stacked up from Pennsylvania to New Mexico. The Albuquerque Journal revealed in Oct. 2020, that their city sent Trump an invoice for $211,175.94 for barricades and overtime for officers to be on hand for the event.

Trump also refused to pay the city of Minneapolis after stacking up over $530,000 in security costs for a 2019 rally. The mayor there was furious and fought back at the time by blocking any further use of city-owned properties until the bill was paid. Trump threatened to sue the mayor. After a back and forth, the Target Center gave an in-kind donation of $100,000 for the costs of the 2019 rally. That, however, presents a problem because $100,000 in corporate funds is a violation of campaign finance law. It's unclear if anyone has ever filed that complaint because it likely isn't included on Trump's campaign finance documents as an in-kind contribution.

2. TPOSFG

does not pay his bills. Never has and if not put in jail, all properties confiscated, all FAMILY bank accounts frozen, never will. He is a GD conman and his family is grifter scum.

3. They need to demand the money upfront.

Do not allow him to use any public venue unless he pays the bill in cash up front. If he goes private, then hold firm on not providing any security unless the money comes up front.

He keeps doing this because people keep letting him.

6. I can sort of see cities providing security when he was president

But now they should feel no obligation. If he wants security make him pay up front. He will continue grifting as long as he can get away with it. I suppose if he officially declares his candidacy that might change things but right now he is on his own.
