CBS WCCO Trump Administration: Minneapolis Is Trying To Make Campaign Cover Rally Security Costs
I guess I am curious who you think should pay the security cost for Trump's election rallies?
The tax payers or the candidate?
I am more curious also to know if Baby Trump will be in town... :-)

Trump's checks would probably bounce anyway.

Good Point.
FOX: Trump is making Mayor Jacob Frey Famous
"President Trump called Tuesday for Minneapolis voters to “dump” Mayor Jacob Frey – as well as Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn. – amid an escalating battle over a rally Trump plans to hold at the city’s Target Center arena this Thursday.
Trump’s campaign has threatened to sue AEG, the company that manages the arena, after Minneapolis city officials charged a stunning $530,000 for rally security, which the Target Center said the campaign must pay if they still want to use the venue.
Trump signaled Tuesday morning he still plans to show up, tweeting: "Someone please tell the Radical Left Mayor of Minneapolis that he can’t price out Free Speech. Probably illegal! I stand strongly & proudly with the great Police Officers and Law Enforcement of Minneapolis and the Great State of Minnesota! See you Thursday Night!"
He tweeted earlier that the “lightweight mayor is hurting the great police and other wonderful supporters. 72,000 ticket requests already. Dump Frey and Omar! Make America Great Again!”
So apparently Trump thinks the Metro Tax Payers should pay for his campaign visit?
That does sound very non-fiscal conservative...
I keep wondering why they did not do this in St Cloud, Mankato, or one of the other venues near his voters?
I love Frey's response.
"Yawn... Welcome to Minneapolis where we pay our bills, we govern with integrity, and we love all of our neighbors," Frey
Apparently the Trump campaign has been stiffing other cities...
"Numerous cities have reported failures by the Trump campaign to pay back costs incurred by local law enforcement services involved in protecting the president and rally attendees.
"When one considers how much money campaigns raise and spend, it does not seem unreasonable to expect some degree of reimbursement for such demands for service,” Richard Myers, executive director of the Major Cities Chiefs Association, said in a statement."
Frey is even getting prime billing in US News…
At this rate he will be running for national office before we know it. :-)
Even FOX is publicizing Frey...
Is it standard practice for campaigns to pay these costs? I saw Obama at the Target center a couple of times and also at the excel center
Seems hit and miss...
MPR Campaign Fees
Now this shocking. :-)
Politifact Trump Statement is True
Eric Black has an amusing perspective...
Maybe Frey is Just Putting Minneapolis First, Like Trump argue for... :-)
One more from Eric...

Where to see Baby Trump
Thank you!!!
Someone close to me offered me tickets to go see Trump.
I thought about all kinds of sarcastic responses that would compare the experience to root canals, eyes being removed by hot pokers, etc before I just said "No". :-)
I mean if I want someone to mislead me I will just go try to buy a used car... :-)
Politco Trump Not Paying Bills. Again...
