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.

    Yeah, the producers of The Apprentice, who made him look successful, even when he was nearly bankrupt, deserve a lot more of the blame than they’ve been given so far.

      That’s exactly what Trump is. A bottom feeder of such exquisite lack of morals that he absorbs blame. So much blame should be put on so many other agencies, people, etc but because Trump runs around providing news agencies with enough rage bait.
