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.

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.
Not if the people in charge or approving it are republicans. They don’t care about tax payer money. At. All.
Fool me twice and all that shit
You’d think at some point they would learn their lesson but they seem to love footing the bill.
It’s amazing he can step outside without People trying to sho… oh wait.
It’s amazing that even after not paying for the 2018 rally, they still hosted his 2023 rally and then shocked Pikachu when he didn’t pay that
Banking on a win perhaps
They weren’t wearing enough restrictions, so people like Trump couldn’t help but take advantage of them!
