Someone who is documented to being both a pathological liar and doesn't pay his bills.

It's the very definition of trustworthy. /s

Very stable as well.

I’ve got pretty limited sympathy here. Trump not paying for rallies was a news story YEARS ago. Any city that has since agreed to host one of his rallies (or whatever) without demanding payment upfront has only themselves to blame.

If anything, it should be the citizens suing the city for gross incompetence and negligent mismanagement of their tax dollars. In fact, I’d call for the state attorney general to investigate anyone who greenlit such obvious, foreseeable fraud.

the campaigns have more than enough to pay for this, and they usually do

he is just a terrible human being refusing to pay the bill because he found a loophole.. pitting the secret service against the local governments

i hope this helps burn his support in penns woods

He's saving up all of that money for lawyers... that he also won't pay.

[-] divineslayer@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

He needs the money so he can have the concept of paying them.

The con man does not pay his bills!!!? Shocking.

They should take the campaign to court and a judge should block the campaign from spending any money on advertisements until they pay up. Not gonna happen, but it's what should.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
