This isn’t an unpaid debt, it’s an illegal campaign contribution by city officials at their taxpayer’s expense.
Every single one of them knew they would be providing free city services for Trump while charging the Biden then Harris campaign for the same.

The city can’t tell the Van Andel Arena they aren’t allowed to let Trump come in. And I’m sure they’re essentially obligated to provide a police presence and whatever else they’re charging his campaign for.
The city of Grand Rapids is pretty blue, and its government isn’t conservative. Huge swaths of West Michigan are conservative, and sure there are far more churches in GR than in most cities (it’s the central location for a few flavors of Reformed churches), but still. The city government aren’t exactly Trump supporters.
Cities can refuse to provide services to venues who refuse to pay for them in most places. The city officials in every city that Trump screwed should have been demanding payment up front - they knew he routinely screws over everyone he deals with because he still has debts from 2016 that are unpaid. Those who haven’t been paid should have been making front page news by suing for what they are owed.
47% of the people in Kent County voted for the felon. Even if the Grand Rapids numbers are lower, it’s not reasonable to suggest a significant percentage of those making city decisions aren’t Trump supporters.
Water is wet news at 11. Trump doesn’t pay his bills Grand Rapids was dumb to allow him to rally there.
When a city holds a Trump rally and then he doesn’t pay, that is the city government misappropriating tax revenue and directing it to their preferred candidate. It is not the city residents being dumb, it is the city government being corrupt.
And it’s surely the way Trump himself understands this. As we learned today, he keeps tabs on who’s on his side like the Mafia boss he is. The cities that dare ask him payment will be punished when he gets the occasion.

Grand Rapids isn’t a conservative city government. A lot of the surrounding area is, but GR itself isn’t. We just have the biggest arena around, so all the MAGAts come from all over West Michigan.
The city can’t stop him from campaigning here, they can’t go to the Van Andel arena and say, “No, you aren’t allowed to let Trump in.” They can just charge his campaign for any services provided, and then get shafted when he doesn’t pay.
This just in: lying cheating cheap piece of literal human garbage does an awful thing that he has a demonstrated history of doing several times in recent history.
Anyone who provides services to Trump prior to payment is stupid. If credit scores applied to people born wealthy, his would be 0. And they won’t even go that low.
If you don’t wait for the check to clear in advance, you will never get money out of Trump.
lol. MAGA, bitches. Or something.
Oh no! And nobody will ever hold these crimes accountable!
It’s almost as if the government wants us to happen
