it's been covered recently that the reason he keeps doing outside rallies this time around is because he still has outstanding bills for venues all over battleground states from the previous election; it might also be relevant that it's easier to lie about crowd sizes outdoors as opposed to indoor venues with stated capacities. in summary, he's even more of a clown than ever.
He still owes El Paso, Texas roughly half a million.^[1] It's no wonder venues are hesitant to have him back. Though Trump's been stiffing workers and employees his whole life so the bigger wonder is that they trusted him to begin with.
Is there a reason this hasn't caught up to him? Isn't this theft of service, or fraud of some point with a clear, and intentional pattern? Why the fuck does this dude of all people seem to have the cheat code to do whatever the fuck he pleases? When is it enough?
That's what happens when a madman seizes control of a major political party. The Republicans are scared of his insane followers.
