It turns out that a lot of money going to #Trump this time is lining his pockets. And part of the reason there are so few #Trump rallies these days and they are so sparsely attended is because more and more people are demanding he pay up front. https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2024/8/26/2265819/-I-Thought-Everyone-Knew-The-Trump-Campaign-Is-A-Massive-Grift?pm_campaign=trending&pm_source=sidebar&pm_medium=web

Trump left my county with unpaid bills incurred during his 2016 rally in Lynden, WA.Basically, he stiffed the police, fire departments, and emergency services personnel. Back the Blue my ass. More like Bilk the Blue.
"Former President Donald Trump still owes Whatcom County $53,000 for a hastily organized May 2016 rally during his first bid for the nation’s highest office.
Trump’s visit to the Lynden fairgrounds cost more than $300,000, mostly for police overtime and other security measures.
More than two dozen police, fire and emergency services agencies based in Whatcom County — and others from as far away as Bellevue and Seattle — assisted with the rally. Records show that the 2016 Trump campaign ignored a bill for $53,000."
