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.

    At this point of time, everyone should be demanding money upfront and a waiver of liability
