Trump needs to quit being an asshole to El Paso: judge

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

When Donald Trump arrives in Texas for an appearance with GOP Gov. Greg Abbott to tour the state’s border, he should bring a check to pay off his campaign’s nearly $570,000 debt to the city of El Paso, a local judge said.

“We have been trying to reach out to get the $570,000 from when he had his campaign” rally two years ago, El Paso County Judge Ricardo Samaniego told local NBC affiliate KTSM-9 TV earlier this week.

If Abbott “helps us collect” the money Trump owes, “that would be real nice,” Samaniego added.

Trump racked up the hefty bill for his “Make America Great Again” rally on Feb. 11, 2019, at El Paso County Coliseum. Local authorities provided security, transportation, emergency and traffic services, and the bill was due in April that year.

1. LOL!!

It's funny because they think there's a chance he'll pay them.

[catrose]

3. I don't think they do. They just want to remind us that he's a deadbeat.

[SoCalDavidS]

4. And The Sky Is Blue

Since he gets away with EVERYTHING he does, there's really no reason whatsoever for him to refrain from doing it this way.

It's called accountability, and here in America, that doesn't apply to people like him.

12. And you have won the truth prize for tonight!

Winner winner chicken dinner!!!

13. Spot-on assessment...

I would say they could take it to court but by the time the case is settled, they may end up owing more in lawyer fees.

Trump knows this and takes full advantage of the situation. He makes a complete mockery out of the words "justice" and "accountability".

[catrose]

14. So true. But I love it when people call him out. At least it irritates him.

[Crunchy Frog]

2. Yeah, good luck on that.

[duhneece]

5. I think it's a way to publicly diss Trump & Abbott nt

[soldierant]

9. Well, that would be a good thing.

But a better thing would be if El Paso could very quickly come up with a Debtors' Prison.

17. And who do you think would end up there? Anybody but trump

Probably POC who own 10 dollars from a credit card expired ten years ago.

[soldierant]

20. Well, durn.

Hey, it was just a fantasy.

6. Deadbeat Donald.

7. Lock the Fucker UP!

8. The city should demand payment up front for city services to be used. Or provide NO city services

The city should demand payment up front for city services to be used.

Or provide NO city services including traffic control.

Notify resident in advance to stay clear.

(or go to make a traffic jam)

10. Dumb enough not to collect from Trump UP Front

Deserves to be screwed. Not like he has a reputation for not paying his bills.

[smirkymonkey]

11. It'll be a cold day in hell before that grifting dirtbag ever pays them a penny of

what he owes. He probably thinks they owe him for gracing their city with his presence.

[Archae]

15. This is how Trump operates.

He screws those who he owes money to, most often by declaring bankruptcy.

[Vinca]

16. The city should put a lien on Mar-a-Grifto.

[barbtries]

18. sue him.

fucking deadbeat.

[Initech]

19. The sad thing is that he'll never stop being an asshole or a deadbeat.

[sakabatou]

21. Your honor, that would be an impossible request.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

22. TFG is a deadbeat
