Summary
Albuquerque officials say Trump now owes the city $444,986 over five years.
Trump’s campaign has left numerous cities with hundreds of thousands of dollars in unpaid bills for public safety costs incurred during his rallies. Some cities have hired law firms to collect the debts, while others have required campaigns to pay estimated costs in advance. Despite Trump’s support for law enforcement, his campaign has consistently failed to reimburse local governments for the expenses they incur.
As a municipal official - that’s not how things work in reality.
Unless you’re willing to start shooting people, there comes a point where we can’t do anything. Residents have to worry about being evicted due to leins from the city, but political parties don’t because there’s nothing to seize within our jurisdictional control. All we can do is sue and get in line behind 50,000 other people who will never get paid.
