Trump campaign won't pay $49,000 in bills for Grand Rapids rallies [View all]

I am shocked! Shocked I tell you.

The city of Grand Rapids says the Donald J. Trump for President 2024 campaign has refused to pay more than $49,000 in bills for two rallies in the city this year.
That is forcing the city to write off those expenses as uncollectable and to reevaluate policies for future campaign visits.
The unpaid invoices are for two rallies that drew thousands into the city, both at the Van Andel Arena.
