Those of us who didn’t vote for the incoming president-elect are holding our communal breath as Donald J. Trump becomes president again one week from today. I have paid no attention to any plans for the inauguration; although I am aware of the money various millionaires and billionaires are donating to it. And I just learned that Carrie Underwood and the Village People are performing. I wonder if they will be paid.
Donnie has a habit of not paying his bills. With last fall’s campaign in the rear view mirror, more than one city is still seeking reimbursement for the costs associated with electioneering. Among the cities are Erie PA; El Paso, TX; and Mesa, AZ. The costs cover such things as police protection and overtime, additional security services, and the use of airports and other buildings. Not surprisingly, some of these bills date to the previous presidential campaign in 2019.
If you think I’m just sour graping, then do as I did. Google® “Does Trump pay his bills?” And you’ll see source after source weighing in on this subject. It doesn’t matter if you are a conservative or a liberal or somewhere else on the spectrum, you can probably find information about Donnie’s attitude toward money.
I only hope Carrie Underwood and the Village People have read their contracts. Even though they’ve lost me as admirers, I wouldn’t want them to be stiffed.
