Tensions between Minneapolis city leaders and President Donald Trumps campaign escalated Monday when the campaign threatened to sue the city for trying to force it to pay $530,000 for security during this weeks rally.
Trumps campaign team said in a news release late Monday night that Mayor Jacob Frey is abusing the power of his office by conjuring a phony and outlandish bill for security to cover those costs for Thursdays campaign rally.
City officials told the Target Center, which is managed by AEG, that it would be responsible for paying the costs. The center then allegedly tried to pass the bill on to Trumps team and told them they would not be able to use the arena unless they agreed to the charges.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has been outspoken rejecting Trump from visiting Minneapolis. "He is not welcome here!"
This is awesome that Trump is being required to pre-pay for Thursday's rally security fees $530,000.
No pre-pay, no rally at the Target Center!

Like Wimpy, he may want a hamberder today, but will not be paying you on Tuesday. Ripoff Donnie. It sure took long enough for people to catch on.
Cut him off!
Oh, and edited to add: Suing will take a while, chump. So what? No rally for now, then.

The impeachment is strong in this one. Hey, if he can throw around the word "impeachment" without any understanding, I can throw it around correctly.

(27,813 posts)Did anyone notice that while, no matter the supposed "topic" if each debate, the moderators fixated on Hillary's emails, but not one asked about Trump's bankruptcies, how he stiffed vendors, or how he funneled his foundation money into personal vanity purchases, and it was left to Hillary to being those things up?

The city was smart to charge the venue for the security costs. That way, it would be the venue that cancelled, not the city.
