The Trump campaign and RNC have a long history of stiffing cities who have had to put out hundreds of thousands of dollars to provide the security required for one of Fat Donnie's rallies. One mayor tried to get them to pay the money upfront, but the Trump folks made such a stink about it he backed down. I haven't been able to find out whether the city was ever paid.
