During his visit to El Paso, Texas, on Wednesday, President Donald Trump may have to reckon with an uncomfortable situation: His reelection campaign still hasn’t paid back its sizable debt to the city after Trump held a rally there in February.
Maybe they’re hoping tolerating a visit will get him to cough up the cash.
Doubtful – he’s got no sense of his obligation to anyone.
Judging by history, it’s more likely his campaign will countersue the city over the charges.
You’d think so, what with his party’s emphasis on the rights of state’s and localities.
I wouldn’t hold my breath for them to take a stand on this one, however.
Somehow, ‘state’s rights’ only seems to apply when it’s too their, or their sponsor’s (Ed,) advantage.
Just put the famous boot on its tires, the way you would for any scofflaw. He heads back to the airport, sees the tires, and says “Shit.” And put the ticket under the windshield wipers like usual. Attach a windshield wiper if need be.
Oh, and people of El Paso, stay strong and we’re with you. I can tell you I live in a town a couple thousand miles away where people of Mexican heritage and people from other places marched in solidarity the Thursday night after election day and people came out of shops to cheer us and we’ve never stopped being together. You’re not alone. You are not alone.
Wouldn’t it be funny if every drone owner from Albuquerque to Ciudad Juarez spontaneously had an urge to buzz the Biggs Army Airfield just as Hair Farce Hun began its taxi? I’m talking thousands of 'em — “Attack Of The Drones” numbers.
Cruising the glide path ten minutes before his arrival wouldn’t be bad touch either.
There should be wipers as standard equipment. But hey, while here, maybe have him take it in for a state vehicle inspection, just to make sure it is all good.
Mayor of El Paso: “Howdy, Current Occupant. Sure nice of you to fly all this way to deliver this check for the money you owe us. We’ve been thinking and praying about that for a while now.”"
