On the other hand, maybe the cities should start putting liens on his properties and rounding up golf carts for resale.

Don’t all large events have to get a permit from the city they want to invade?

refuse any and all police, fire and whatever civil fencing, signage, administrative help, you name it.

Then, the Secret Service would more than likely refuse to allow Trumpy to attend at all.

We win, they lose!

Of course, Trump refused to pay it, and the rally was held anyway. The mayor was able to draw attention to an ongoing problem, however.

Why Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey Took on Donald Trump - Over Police Bills

(10/10/19) Earlier this week, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey infuriated President Donald Trump when he demanded the commander-in-chief pay a $530,000 public safety bill connected to tonight’s scheduled “Keep America Great” re-election rally at the city-owned Target Center.

Matters grew ugly. Quickly.

Trump’s campaign called the request an “outrageous abuse of power.”

Trump himself went on a tweet rampage: “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!”

Estimate the costs of his visit and double it. Then tell them you want half up front.
