Former President Donald Trump has yet again skipped the bill for a campaign rally, leaving the town that hosted it to foot the cost — this time the college town of St. Cloud, Minnesota.
Ok but seriously, how are people STILL letting him purchase venue space and not demanding he pay in advance? He’s done this like DOZENS of times at least, and I’m sure that’s a seriously lowball estimate.
do we really want to ask questions? wouldn’t it be nice to just listen to some music instead
Why do people not know by now to get the money up front with that clown?
This is probably a stupid question, but what costs are there to rally?
about $63,000 for police costs, $62,000 for costs related to a change in a construction project near campus, $60,500 for public services, $21,000 for Fire Department costs and about $2,000 for IT-related costs."
I’m not sure I trust these numbers. I work in IT and it costs more than $2,000 for me to fart in not my chair.
Jokes aside, as you work in I.T., you’d know that most people completely ignore labour costs when it comes to these things.
Police and infrastructure (Port-o-potties, barriers, police overtime for crowd control, etc) plus the location has fees for renting the space.
Scorched earth tactics at this point in his evolution. It’s the last time he will be doing this so why not defraud some folks in the process. Not much different form his usual approach, to be fair.
