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.

    That’s basically exactly what’s happening to Trump. It’s no different than the tens of millions of Americans dodging collection agency calls.

      Ummm, very different. The tens of millions of Americans dodging collection agencies have bad credit and are denied future purchases. Their houses are foreclosed on. Cars are repossessed. And most importantly it’s difficult for these tens of millions of Americans to shout out to the world, “Hey look at me! Look how great I am with money! You should totally put me in charge of the largest economy in the world” and have ANYONE believe it.

        He has a 50 year history of not paying his bills and dragging things through court until the other person gives up. I don’t know why anyone would do work for him without being paid up front.

          We are in agreement sir.

          MF’er bankrupted a CASINO for crying out loud and the majority of Americans think he’d do better with the economy than Harris.
