Trump had to front $145,000 to secure a rally space in Arizona amid reports he left an unpaid bill at the same venue in 2016 (Business Insider)

The Trump campaign had to pay a deposit of over $145,000 to secure a spot at the Tucson Convention Center for a rally on Thursday.

In a statement to Business Insider, the City of Tucson City Manager's Office confirmed that the Trump campaign had paid a deposit for estimated costs of $145,222.70 to use the Linda Ronstadt Music Hall at the venue.

"In accordance with City of Tucson policy implemented after the 2016 campaign visits of then candidates Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders, we now require users at the TCC to pay all costs associated with public safety response, so that taxpayers do not have to shoulder these expenses," the statement said.

"Users must deposit the City's estimated amount of public safety response and TCC usage expenses in advance of an event," it added.

4. I always wonder about those Craigslist ads promising to pay people to attend his rallies

If I was responding I’d want paid up front. Cash. I wish he’d show up around here and they’d run an add like that. I’d probably go and try to cash in. But he won’t show his face around western Washington or Oregon.

5. All venues should require it.

What a bum he is! Yet they pay attendees $10 to $100 to show up!
