Authorities in Erie, Pennsylvania, are still seeking $40,330 from Donald Trump’s presidential campaign to pay for assistance they provided for his 2018 and 2023 campaign visits, bringing the total debt five cities say he owes them to over $740,000.
The Erie claim was made by a spokesman for the city’s Democratic Mayor Joe Schember during a conversation with the Erie Times-News.
It is in addition to more than $700,000 of unpaid debts that four cities—El Paso, Texas; Spokane, Washington; Mesa, Arizona; and Green Bay, Wisconsin—were still seeking last month for rallies that took place between 2016 and 2019, a Newsweek investigation found.

Lol, why woukdnthey let him back when he hadn’t paid the first debt. They need to learn to get paid up front or say no.
It’s shocking that anyone let’s him have a rally without paying up front.
Given his legendary reputation for stiffing contractors, it’s amazing anyone does any business at all with him without getting paid cash up-front.
Yeah, this. I don’t understand it. Why does anyone not in the MAGA cult do anything for this man if not fully paid up front? It’s been decades since he was well known for not paying his debts and stalling as much as legally possible if taken to court to make him pay. There shouldn’t be a single person who is in a position to provide services to him that doesn’t know this!
It’s amazing that these cities let him hold another rally after stiffing them twice.
How does he simply get to choose not to pay back his debts? Like how is this shit optional??
I mean sure, but I think the point is that the average Joe would probably already have a collection agency harassing them while he’s still in the “it’s all just a misunderstanding probably. Let’s just ask him again.” situation
That’s basically exactly what’s happening to Trump. It’s no different than the tens of millions of Americans dodging collection agency calls.
“If you owe the bank $100 that’s your problem. If you owe the bank $100 million, that’s the bank’s problem.”
Old totals from who knows when
Jesus, he went to Burlington VT? Was he trying to generate so much psychic dissonance that he summoned the angry ghost of Ethan Allen?
