Former President Donald Trump is returning to rally in a small New Jersey city that his campaign stiffed on a five-figure police and public safety bill in 2020.
Consider that a lesson learned for Wildwood, N.J.: This time, Trump's campaign needed to pay ahead of time for the rally Trump is hosting on Saturday at Wildwood Beach.
The Trump campaign paid $54,200 for public safety and clean-up costs ahead of Saturday's rally that's expected to draw thousands of visitors, NJ.com reported.
Lisa Fagan, public information officer for the city of Wildwood, N.J., confirmed to Raw Story that the Trump campaign paid $54,200 plus an additional $150 that "covers all event costs that the city might incur."
"We are working in tandem with the Secret Service who are running all security measures," Fagan said.
All city departments work together to support such an event, Fagan said.
Take the politics out of it and people would bend over backward for this number of people to come to their town, Wildwood Mayor Ernie Troiano Jr., a Republican and Trump supporter, told The Philadelphia Inquirer. We become national spotlight. They see the size of the beaches, they see the amusement parks we have to offer, our restaurants and hotels take a good hit.

If I owed any entity that amount of money, do you think I'd be arrested or allowed to run for president instead?

"total BS story" - how are you so sure? Cheeto LIES pathologically - his Billings to Boseman story is probably a lie.

Plane, not person. No Debtor's prisons so maybe they can't arrest him

Trump is a Welcher. He gambles and doesn't pay his debts. Even bookies can't trust him.
