According to a new CNN report, Trump was planning to hold a rally in Arizona last weekend, on the same day he rallied in Ohio to support his endorsed Senate candidate Bernie Moreno, but backed out at the last minute.

"On Wednesday, Biden was in Arizona to announce $8.5 billion going toward a new Intel chip processing plant outside of Phoenix, returning to a state he visited twice in the second half of last year," reported Edward Isaac-Dovere and Kristen Holmes.


"Trump had been looking at a trip to the state – which went for Biden by just 10,457 votes in 2020 – for last weekend, the same day as his Ohio rally. But those plans were scrapped after clinching the presidential nomination, with two sources citing a desire to save money and attend a more politically advantageous event in Ohio rallying for Moreno."........................................................

1. It is legal for him to bring some of those tinny begging bowls that they use in churches?

You know; fire them up with the usual racism and misogyny, and then pass the plates for the offerings! Hallelujah!

[Diamond_Dog]

2. Too bad he didn't cancel OHIO

Lying sack of manure traitor rapist.

[Hope22]

10. He may still owe AZ from four years ago.

He would have to pay those charges plus the new ones. He is so screwed. Counting pennys while his opponent is running with full pockets. Lol!

[Attilatheblond]

14. He does. I know he owes Tucson $ for rally costs from 2016 campaign

He canceled a visit to Tucson a while back after Mayor Regina Romero reminded Trump his campaign still owes Tucson taxpayers $80,000 from a rally that was held at the Tucson Convention Center in 2016.

Suddenly, Trump had to be somewhere other than Tucson. This was months ago. Pretty sure his cash flow is in even worst shape than when the deadbeat skipped out on Tucson and his $80,000 bill years ago.

Betting he still owes other AZ cities money. Can cities team up and file a class action suit against the Trump campaign?

Wondering what sob story the broke ex-president will be telling all the magas in AZ to explain how he is being so badly treated that he just can't come here to pass the hat again. Safe bet a lot of them will get all rage & bluster that someone is preventing their Golden Hog from coming to bestow his blessing upon them

[Hope22]

18. Lol Golden Hog.

It would be great if he stays away! He is truly a disgrace! All the privilege but his brains are just mush. Thanks for the info!😁💗🙏🏼

[ShazzieB]

28. Thanks for refreshing our memories.

I had a vague recollection of him owing money for previous rallies, but couldn't have said which cities. What a jerk!

The real irony is that whatever money he "saved" by not paying the bills for his stupid rallies is chicken feed compared to what he now owes NY for his years of frauding. Poor widdle baby Donnie...NOT!

[Attilatheblond]

40. I think he still owes Mesa a bundle too

but I have slept a couple times since the 2020 and 2016 scams, errr, campaigns

[ShazzieB]

62. Scampaigns? Does that work?

[Attilatheblond]

63. That REALLY works! Get that one off to Rachel

maybe it'll become a thing!

[calimary]

42. Actually, now the label "poor Donnie" now takes on a whole new meaning.

[Lovie777]

3. Bullshit.........................

he must prove to his insane cult that he is a victim, so they can feel sorry for him and give him money.

[niyad]

20. Good point!!!

[Skittles]

55. and since when has Trump ever paid his bills?

he's a corrupt POS

[Walleye]

4. I guess nobody wants to let him go on the cuff anymore

[twodogsbarking]

5. Credit cards maxed out Don. You need debt relief. Call now.

[SpankMe]

6. Shocking

He usually does the rallies anyway and then just doesn't pay anybody.

[ShazzieB]

29. Except for cities like Tucson that are letting him know he's no longer welcome

unless he pays the bills he ran up in past years!

[badhair77]

38. Isn't that what he's always saying to the NATO countries,

that they have to pay their bills. But he doesn’t pay his.

[Avalon Sparks]

7. Watching him beg even harder for money will bring me joy!

lol f him

[ProudMNDemocrat]

8. All the while the Biden-Harris and DNC coffers see HUGE donations!

Too fuckin' bad, Diaper Donnie! The RNC well is being drained dry and by YOU!

[NJCher]

53. And we get to spend our money

Telling voters about the benefits of voting as a Democrat. But their money all gets sucked up by the crime-aholic to pay lawyers.

Benefits vs. lawyers. Tough choice.

[RSherman]

9. Trump campaign still owes Arizona cities thousands in past event fees

https://www.azfamily.com/2022/10/06/trump-campaign-still-owes-arizona-cities-thousands-past-event-fees/

His campaign still owes a bunch of cities $$$ for past rally events.

[littlemissmartypants]

11. So he's really just running from his creditors, then.

Not surprising.

[4lbs]

15. All the cities should ask for the money upfront first, because the grifter doesn't pay

his bills. "Net 30" might as well be "Net Never" when it comes to him.

Their new stance should be

"Show us the green, before we see your spleen. Otherwise, go back to sucking on a ketchup packet if you try your racket."

[RSherman]

17. You hit it on the head!

https://www.thedailybeast.com/this-time-erie-mayor-wants-cash-up-front-for-trump-rally

[4lbs]

19. Heh. Maybe that's why he hasn't been back to PA in a while.

He can't pay, so he can't stay.

[bluestarone]

21. Agree! but

All the southern states won't do this.

[4lbs]

22. I don't really care about them. They already "hate" Biden to some degree.

Let him [Dumpy the Clown] 'stiff' them and they can find out the harsh truth.

Except for maybe Georgia and the city of Atlanta. All the other southern states can have their Dumpy Dollars denied.

[JustAnotherGen]

58. Lets add

Nola and Houston to that small list!

[ShazzieB]

32. I'm sure it's not just one state, either.

Some investigative journalist needs to look into this and publish an exposè listing all the cities he's stiffed since 2015.

[RSherman]

37. I found a really good chart

I tried to copy/paste but the formatting was all weird.

It's mid way in this article:

[marble falls]

12. Good. I think an honestly conservative Arizona have finally had enough of the bull in the china shop ...

... and all the Kari Lakes out there.

[kimbutgar]

13. Lots of Californians are moving out there because housing is cheaper!

Hopefully we can turn that state blue. The north part of the state is maga crazy but the southern part is more liberal.
My husband has a maga niece that lives in Prescott and she’s not happy many Californians are moving there and driving up housing prices. We might even get rid of Paul Gosar this year if the Democrats put up a good candidate that sounds sane as compared to Gosar.

[AllyCat]

34. I have a blue-voting cousin who moved to the north AZ area

After the last election. She and her husband will be 2 more votes for sanity.

[COL Mustard]

16. Surely he could have self funded the trip

And I am serious!

[murielm99]

52. Our governor,

Pritzker of Illinois, is a billionaire. He self-funds all his campaigns.

[no_hypocrisy]

23. But, but, but . . . .

Kari Lake was counting on being on stage with TSF, getting a bear hug from him, regaling in the applause and accolades! How could Trump do that to her???

[rubbersole]

30. She'll have to be content with a cardboard cutout...

...and rub its crotch like Sporky did.

[Warpy]

24. Translation: they wanted the money up front

This was a stupid one to cancel since it drew wingnuts from as far away as Idaho in the past and some of those wingnuts had pretty deep pockets. Now they're going to miss their pep rally for hate and will consequently have trouble maintaining high enthusisasm for their Lard and Savior.

[ShazzieB]

35. I see what you did there!

"Lard and Savior"!

[Warpy]

36. Been doing that for months

You're the irst person who's realized it's not a typo.

[Dulcinea]

56. "Lard and Savior"

Well played!

[SouthernDem4ever]

25. We are already blowing too much money on this grifter

He's a traitor and a criminal and deserves a jailer, not a secret service detail.

[RainCaster]

26. But he is sooo wealthy

In 2016, he told us all that he was so fuckin rich that he didn't need the RNC to support his campaign. How does he feel about that now? He made so much money grifting while in the White House that he surely doesn't need any help with his MAGA Love Fest Campaign.

Right?

[11 Bravo]

27. I won't be happy until the BINO bullshit artist doesn't have a pot to piss in.

[JoseBalow]

31. I look forward to the day he loses his plane

[BlueMTexpat]

54. Preferably while

he is still in the air in it somewhere!

[AllyCat]

33. May the money dry up for every GKKKP candidate

Running anywhere in these United States.

[badhair77]

39. Where did the trumpers spend their time

without a rally to attend? All dressed up and nowhere to go.

[Wounded Bear]

41. In 2020 he had AF One. Now he has to pay for his own gas...

those big jets cost a lot of scratch to keep them in the air.

That, and all he owes from 8 years of defaulting on rally fees and local police protection. People are finally telling him to pay up front.

[turbinetree]

43. Anyone want to buy a used plane B757-200..........I hear they might have a fire sale going on next week..........

[republianmushroom]

44. Lucky Arizonans, now if the rest of the country is as lucky, hot damn.

[liberal N proud]

45. I hope he ends up homeless

I don’t wish harm on others, but he is pure evil and poor is where he belongs. It will be the best karma

[Kennah]

46. There is a Four Seasons in Scottsdale

https://www.4seasonsconsulting.net/

[Martin68]

47. Yes!

[JohnnyRingo]

48. I'll bet he starts charging at the gate.

I'm surprised he isn't doing it already. A cover charge is exactly what he's about, and I think his idiots will pay if they get some kind of souvenir.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

49. TFG has stiffed a number of cities and venues

Cities and venues have caught on and are making TFG pay in advance

[617Blue]

57. I feel there is some hay to be made pointing out that he is a deadbeat

particularly with white men who may be small contractors. Trump doesn't pay his contractors.

[cstanleytech]

50. It's a bad sign for a campaign when it can't spare that minor amount.

[Indykatie]

51. Money Had Nothing to Do With Cancellation - He Never Pays the Cities/Facilities Anyway

I bet it was cancelled because he wasn't in mental/physical condition to do the rally. We'll see fewer Trump public events as his deterioration continues more rapidly.

[IronLionZion]

59. Then Arizona should go blue again

[duhneece]

60. He'll never go back to El Paso

Theirs is the largest invoice owed: a little over $470,000

[Butterflylady]

61. Now this makes me smile..
