All those people standing behind the fake prez holding mass-printed signs they were handed, as well as many paid attendees on the floor add up to big bucks. The rallies to raise money can hardly keep up.

I see several picnic coolers, tents and tarps too. Why did people leave all this stuff behind?

They carried them in just fine, but they were, you know, TIRED when they left, so they just left them behind. Too much trouble. Besides, someone will just clean things up, right?

They only seem to last one season outside for me. And if you have ever sat down in one and had the fabric (deteriorated by weather) split underneath you........ Oy.

hundreds of thousands there, and these Trumpanzees all thought they wouldn't have a shot at getting inside. Of course, he was lying his ass off, and there were all kinds of seats available, so they were willing to abandon their earthly possessions, just for a chance to experience the aura of the God Emperor!

El Paso said it wasn’t paid when President Trump visited. Orlando will get its money up front.

El Paso said it wasn’t paid when President Trump visited. Orlando will get its money up front.

Days after President Donald Trump announced that he would kick off his 2020 presidential bid with an Orlando rally June 18, news surfaced that El Paso, Texas, was still waiting to be paid $470,000 from a February campaign visit.

The El Paso Times revealed this week that the Trump campaign did not pay the border town what it was owed after the “Make America Great Again” event that Trump used to tout his plans for a wall.

So far, Trump is making on-time payments to Orlando. The city received the first $72,000 installment from the campaign that was due June 3, said Cassandra Lafser, a spokeswoman for Mayor Buddy Dyer. The final installment is due June 10.

That is business as usual in Orlando, where venues require payment in advance of events, Lafser said.

Does that refer to Trump supporters? Or only to the stuff they left behind?
