At least 10 cities gave Donald's campaign bills which he has ignored - Cities from Mesa, Arizona, to Erie, Pennsylvania — are still waiting for Trump to pay public safety-related invoices they’ve sent his presidential campaign committee in connection with his political rallies, according to interviews with local officials and municipal records obtained by the Center for Public Integrity.

Some invoices are three years old. In all, city governments say Trump’s campaign owes them at least $841,219.

“We appreciate, and we feel honored, when the candidates come to Green Bay. We are also very appreciative when they honor their debts.” — Celestine Jeffreys, chief of staff for Mayor Jim Schmitt Green Bay WI - owed over $35K

“We believed that the level of security that was required was costly and that it was reasonable for us to be reimbursed given the fact that it was a campaign rally, and the president was also here conducting a high-end fundraiser.” — Renée M. Lamis, chief of staff for Erie Mayor Joe Schember Erie PA - owed over $10K

“It is our hope that the organization will do right by the taxpayers of Mesa and provide payment in a timely manner.” — Mesa Deputy City Manager Scott Butler - Mesa AZ - owed over $65K

* Many of the more than 60 cities Trump visited since his inauguration for MAGA rallies have policies against billing any politician for police costs. Several more cities calculated the cost of providing public safety services for Trump rallies but said they chose not to bill Trump’s campaign. But we're talking a LOT of man hours. And working stiffs pay the cost.

Maybe his failing Golf Club in Ireland can pick up that tab, too? Just like they picked up his spawn's 'bar crawl' tab last week.

President Barack Obama had a chance to visit his house in Chicago, Illinois when he was in the city for some campaign appearances on Monday and he was apparently greeted by a stack of "unpaid bills."
Obama discussed his financial paperwork during a Democratic National Committee fundraiser Monday evening at the home of his longtime donor Barbara G. Manilow.
Obama's comment about the "unpaid bills" was subsequently edited out of a copy of the speech distributed by the White House. However, the full quote was preserved by press pool reporters who covered the event.This was the second time Obama brought up issues with his personal finances in the past week. Last Friday, Obama said his credit card was rejected when he attempted to eat out with his wife in New York City last month.

I'm not sure I can express how sad I think you are for seeking out this passage from 2014. And you edited out so much. And then didn't report the WHOLE story.

The FULL STORY is that Obama HIMSELF spoke about how he & Michelle were paying student loans & had some unpaid bills.

But what you DIDN'T report was that the Obamas PAID those bills & loans - IN FULL!

How do I know this? Because the Obamas made no secret about what they owed. They had released their tax returns - the debts were known. Because Business Insider addressed the repayment in subsequent articles.

The difference between Obama & those unpaid bills & Donald & his unpaid bills is that there is a HISTORY OF LEGAL ACTIONS TAKEN AGAINST DONALD FOR STIFFING WORKERS, CONTRACTORS & now MUNICIPALITIES FOR TAKING GOODS & SERVICES & THEN NOT PAYING FOR THEM.

Poor, poor Brokeahontas Donald. Even with Toilet Plunger Lickers like you, he still feels SO so unloved.

Laugh, laugh, laugh!

Did Tony Rezko buy them a house because of that?

Do most attorneys have unpaid student loans - Avenatti aside?

"Michelle and I know the feeling – we only finished paying off our student loans ten years ago. "

Huh...that would be about 2004 then...long before he stiffed his old "hometown."

Facts are tough, no?

:-))))))

Oh no! QAnon got pwned by Fishy. Bigly time!

Aren't you embarrassed by everything you post?

See, the key word is 'finished paying off...'

Nowhere did Obama say, "We got sued by hundreds of people and corporations because we don't pay our bills. Never, ever paid any loan off. Never ever pay laborers who do work for us. Then we keep filing for bankruptcies. And walk around saying we're billionaires."

Nope, Obama never said that or did that. He 'finished off paying his debts' - like admirable people do.

I thought you could connect the dots, but it looks like you can't.

[–] Qberto (1139) 5 years ago

More semantic lunacy.

You actually tendered this rotting canard as a reason that he skipped out on paying his old hometown campaign debts.

I'm not sure who, (even a committed leftard) is wincingly naive enough to buy such a red herring, but giving your side credit - they do find takers for old rotting fish...

[–] ultravioletx (10237) 5 years ago

No semantics required. Obama allowed the world to see his debts and paid them off. Your comparison has failed. ODS has once again gotten the better of you.

[–] Qberto (1139) 5 years ago

All semantics noted - a less than cunning distraction, tawdry even.

Obama invoked his 10 year old college "debts" to stiff his old home town in the day - what an ungrateful Piker he was...

My"comparison" hasn't failed, it's self-confirming!

Ta.

[–] ultravioletx (10237) 5 years ago

"My"comparison" hasn't failed, it's self-confirming!"

AKA a conspiracy theory. Lulz.

[–] Qberto (1139) 5 years ago

All the facts are up - theorizing has ended.

Obozo stiffed his home town, state, etc. for millions of $$.

Cope.

Bwahahahahahahahahahahaha!

So that's what QAnon conspiracy theorists call 'facts' ?

LOLOLOLOLOL!

Factual reportage of the Obamessiah's excuses anyway, so yes, tentatively if anything that "mutt' says can ever be trusted.

"And you edited out so much. And then didn't report the WHOLE story."

Yup, it really begs the question of what this gaslighting troll Qberto thinks he's accomplishing when his very own citations prove he's a liar. He really appears too stupid to recognize how he's proactively undermining his own narrative. It's hilarious.

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Shhhhhh! Don't scare him away! We're having too much fun with him these days. It's hilarious!

He brings his QAnon talking points to the table, and tries to be 'an intellectual'. It's very entertaining.

[–] Qberto (1139) 5 years ago

He brings his QAnon talking points to the table,

And demonstrably terrifies you lot with pertinent injections of facts your lamestream media refuses to cover.

Thank me now, knave!

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Sure. Whatever QAnon says.

[–] Qberto (1139) 5 years ago

I sadly find in you something disquieting and disconsolate, the utterly furious need for denigration and dismissal of all things and concepts not constrained within the dank, swampy, drain waters of the proggie swamp.

I know well enough how terrifying these reasoned concepts and observations are to you and can only offer the olive branch that illumination is yet possible, even for those so deeply enmeshed as to reside in a catatonic state of denial.

Obama's mention of having "unpaid bills" at his home in Chicago during a campaign fundraiser on Monday have been scrubbed from the official White House transcript.

"One of the nice things about being home is actually that it’s a little bit like a time capsule," he said to the crowd in his hometown of Chicago, according to ABC News.

"Because Michelle and I and the kids, we left so quickly that there’s still junk on my desk, including some unpaid bills. I think eventually they got paid, but they’re sort of stacked up — and messages, newspapers, and all kinds of stuff."

The official transcript, however, did not include the full comments. Instead, the censored script read, "we left so quickly that there’s still junk on my desk, including some — newspapers and all kinds of stuff."

Springfield Asks Obama to Pay Up for Campaign Event

In Springfield there remains one piece of unfinished business: an unpaid bill for $55,480

For a man whose only qualification for the White House is his own claim to good judgment and good character, Obama is rapidly proving his claim is invalid on both counts.

On November 21, 2007, the Obama Campaign ordered 1800 pocket-size Constitutions from the National Center for Constitutional Studies, using Purchase Order number 11202007. The order was shipped to Obama For America Volunteer Headquarters, 300 W. Adams, 10th Floor, Chicago, Il, to the attention of Melissa McNeal. The phone number listed for McNeal was 312-506-0909. The order was placed by Becky Deignan, with copies to Bridget Gray and Melissa McNeal. The invoice total was $965.00.

Obama’s campaign has refused to pay for these Constitutions.

Despite repeated attempts to contact a responsible party in the Obama campaign, no response has been forthcoming, nor has the bill been paid.

Chicago has yet to recoup the $1.74 million cost of President Obama’s victory celebration in Grant Park — despite a burgeoning $50.5 million budget shortfall that threatens more layoffs and union concessions.
