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.
The city should have sued on Jan 21, 2020. If they sue now, and Trump wins the election, they would never see a dime because the SC would make sure to squash all lawsuits. Selling it to a debt collector was probably the best move for them. They only see a fraction of what they are owes, but its better than nothing
What debt collector would be stupid enough to try and get repayment from Trump.
I’d watch that episode of dog the bounty hunter. Though I’d probably go in to it expecting disappointment.
Alternatively, they could put a lien on his properties.
