Trump stiffed the southwestern city to the tune of half a million, complicating his return to New Mexico

Former President Donald Trump had a hard time finding a spot for his Halloween rally in Albuquerque, New Mexico rally, as unpaid bills came back to haunt his campaign.

The Santa Fe New Mexican reported that the campaign’s original plans to use the Albuquerque Convention Center were dashed, due in part to an unpaid bill of nearly $445,000 from a 2019 rally.

“If you’re not going to pay your bills, we’re just not going to entertain you using city facilities, and that’s the way it should be,” Albuquerque mayor Tim Keller told the outlet.

    I wouldn’t trust that check. Cash or money order only

      Personally I wouldn’t trust any sort of payment from that guy. I’d accept payment but still refuse new business from him until about 6 weeks after payment is received. That should provide ample time to verify the check doesn’t bounce, etc.
