The convicted felon will continue to maintain that he is one above the law! He may even rewrite the constitution with the help of his "friends" at the Supreme Court! The fascist begins soon. Elon, his director, has openly endorsed AfD in Germany - the neonazi party. So the city will be ripped off.
Because he has avoided civil or criminal charges, trump is under the impression that campaigns only receive money, & don’t have to pay for anything, but perhaps legal fees, & he probably wants those services to be donated, too
"trump is under the impression that ... don’t have to pay for anything"
He's been under the impression that he doesn't have to pay for anything long before he was a politician. He's been stiffing everyone way back when he was doing that to his vendors in his real estate holdings in NYC.
A freeloading deadbeat who owes New Mexico tens of thousands of dollars he stiffed us for during his first administration. He screwed us so bad no venue would host him when he came during the last campaign. He had to hold it at the airport.
This will happen time and time again until the city hosting says “no” or cash up front. Grand Rapids can add their name to the list of those stiffed by Trump
The entire city isn’t MAGA. Also simple Google search reveals that Kent County Michigan voted for Harris Walz. Grand Rapids is the largest city in the county whose to say they weren’t the lions share of the votes? Lets also remember that entire cities and entire states aren’t anything.
how the rich get and stay rich ~ sheeple must charge these so-called paper billionaires in advance of service - not after ~ suckers, he has shown us WHO he IS, right?
May I suggest playing this on blast as you drive through their city ... or when a MAGAt relative whines about their vote-regret at your next holiday/family gathering in the coming years?
Been going on for years.. Appears to me, these complainers that have LOST MONEY, are Deathtly Afraid to confront the ùseless idiot!! Why might I ask.....
Par for the course I guess! Did they vote for the asswipe who thinks the world owes him everything for nothing? If they didn’t I sympathize. If they did? They got what they wanted. Right????
I'm sorry for Grand Rapids but(!!)really? Who TF didn't know he doesn't pay his bills? He did this in 2016.Why would now be any different? Maybe the cities has these rallies in should pay better attention?
What did they expect from America"s biggest fraudster, conman grifter, he's left unpaid bills all over the country, and even duped a plurality to vote for him again, Trump Amnesia Symdrone seems to work.
You voted for a snake and got bitten, theirs more to come. FAAFO!!!
He straight up told the audience, "I don't like things, I don't pay for them" as well as saying don't pay the contractors as the crowd cheers and he performs weird gestures with his microphone all on national tv.
He's cheated many venues by not paying for rallies.
That's why many of them at the end of the campaign were on airport tarmacs.
He still owes money to venues for his 2016 campaign.
He's just a worthless shitbag who will fuck over anyone for a dollar.
They know he doesn’t pay his bills. He owe cities and towns from his rallies during his first presidential run. Cities and towns get your money up front. Stop being a glutton for punishment. They may never get their money. Cities write it off as a lost.
You asked for it! You got your wish for a Trump visit and now your getting pissed because your getting screwed. The past history showed how they screwed over every city unless you collect up front.
Why does it surprise anyone? This is a “businessman” who bankrupted several casinos…and how many contractors in the NY/NJ area have been ripped off and unpaid but they come out in droves to support him. FAFO again and again and again.
For the reasons stated, this is why no United States bank is unwilling to loan him any money. From what I remember, his loans are from foreign countries, whom he borrows from. This info came out during his first term. He lied to get a DC contract for the hotel. Made money by overcharging. Illegal.
First. Duh! Second, that’s not bad in the scheme of things. Trump still owes money to the people who built his failed casinos, some to the tune of 2 million. GR got off easy.
Well, Happy Holidays from ‘The Grinch who stole Christmas.’ Special note: Mr. Trump has a history of not paying his bills or didn’t anyone notice? Now, each of the taxpayers who voted or didn’t vote, will likely have something missing in their stocking next year.. @woodtv8.bsky.social @nbcnews.com
Lame … so that’s what 49% of the US supports? Irresponsibly treating your “neighbors” and communities. Hopefully President Musk continues to display what they voted for so they educate themselves for the mid-term elections.
He still owes DC for the inauguration of 2016. He has to pay for the police overtime, the Park Service for setup, clean up, and overtime. Each presidential candidate is provided funds by GSA for the administration personnel, office supplies, etc. He didn't want to return the credit card. 🤨
I think it’s funny, if we don’t pay a bill we get sued and then it goes against our credit. But rich elites don’t pay a bill and they just write it off.
Oh it was red for a long time. Been changing as young people move in/stay. West Michigan in general is more conservative than the East side of the state. The rural areas are bright red
Yes, the Dutch Reformed Church (DeVoss family) had a grip on that part of Michigan for a long time. Young people moving in has moved it left, thank goodness!!!
During his presidential debate with Hilary didn't he proclaim what a smart guy he was for getting out of paying his bills, specially taxes? And yeah, the guy has a history of unpaid debts. And scams. And suing folks into submission. The next 4 years are going to be... something else.
I had a large client who had not paid a previous company many of us had worked at, so we made him do a credit app. He could only provide one reference, from a vendor who had fixed a fridge 12 years prior at one restaurant. Payment up front.
Those are small bills compared to constant commercials they paid for to talk about immigrants being the cause of all ceimes, immigrants eating pets, and schools performing transgender surgeries in the nurses office without telling parents.
President elect Musk spends that in a day.
gee, what a surprise...the grifter known for not paying and leaving cities across the country stuck with the bills has, gasp, not paid and left the city with the bill.
1) they were dumb fucks for allowing him to have the rallie without paying up front
2) anyone who voted 4 Trump is a moron
They r so f’in gullible! Post election statistics from Chris Hayes: Voters who were well informed about the election and followed news went +6 for VP Harris. Voters who followed no news about the election went +19 for Trump!!!
A report came out last week that Garland began investigating him on his 1st day as AG. 47 played the delay game. Smith wasn't available immediately. The way they structured dropping the case, it can be resurrected after 47 leaves office
Exactly. This election should have been investigated, automatically. The fact that it wasn't is a failure for generations. And all the writing was on the wall, for years.
Things will fly off the rails when he
tells one of his own secret service to
shoot someone dead in the oval on a
whim and adds "I'll pardon you." What
if we have extra-judicial murders even
more brazen than when fucking Caligula
terrified the Roman Empire? What then?
He's going to be 82 IF he lives long enough to finish a 4-year term. But then they'll still not prosecute him because "he's too old now". That's the precedent they're setting. 🤬
Lmao.. I think it’s really kind of cute how ppl are prepping for 26 and 28 elections. I predict that after they round up any dissenters, people who have spoken out etc. and are placed under arrest of some sort the rest will quietly fall in line.
Election investigation should have been automatic. Everyone who helped Justice is on that hit list. Which includes me. And we have every reason to be furious at the failures of Justice to protect U.S. Generations will pay the price.
He is a crook and he is never going to pay them. Fuck him and all his supporters who root for this son of a bitch who doesn’t pay his bills, doesn’t follow the laws here and the constitution

Trump is known for not paying.
See below thread ⬇️
Are they all new here?
He is notorious in not paying bills. No sympathy from me or anyone else.
PS: Harris' campaign paid IN ADVANCE for their rallies.
Ditto to the politicians who support him and then he doesn't support them when they need it? Cf Rudy as his lawyer for free!
I just don't get it.
At all.
He's been under the impression that he doesn't have to pay for anything long before he was a politician. He's been stiffing everyone way back when he was doing that to his vendors in his real estate holdings in NYC.
They deserve that and worst for
supporting that clown .
In fact fuck Michigan and every state
that voted for him .
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂

Theft of services is kind of his jam.

Learn it - Know it - Live it
Well, at least he paid
the rally attendees.
Fucking land of the lost.
You voted for a snake and got bitten, theirs more to come. FAAFO!!!
Surprised? NOT...

Grifters will grift.
Imagine that
You ought to see what he did to entire country.
Trump not paying his bills is so common that it’s a cliche.

Just a grinch…
Is it the Republican parties fault they aren't being paid? No. Of course not.
But the quicker Republicans understand how much of a cancer Trump is, the quicker they'll realise they need to cut him free.
Anyone who gets near this guy should run like he'll. Literally being near him is a bad idea. Black hole of integrity.
President elect Musk spends that in a day.

But, they’ll meekly bend the knee if he wants to do another one.

You actually thought he would pay?
Ask anyone in NYC.
