    Water is wet news at 11. Trump doesn’t pay his bills Grand Rapids was dumb to allow him to rally there.

      When a city holds a Trump rally and then he doesn’t pay, that is the city government misappropriating tax revenue and directing it to their preferred candidate. It is not the city residents being dumb, it is the city government being corrupt.

        Grand Rapids isn’t a conservative city government. A lot of the surrounding area is, but GR itself isn’t. We just have the biggest arena around, so all the MAGAts come from all over West Michigan.

        The city can’t stop him from campaigning here, they can’t go to the Van Andel arena and say, “No, you aren’t allowed to let Trump in.” They can just charge his campaign for any services provided, and then get shafted when he doesn’t pay.

    Anyone who provides services to Trump prior to payment is stupid. If credit scores applied to people born wealthy, his would be 0. And they won’t even go that low.

    Oh no! And nobody will ever hold these crimes accountable!

    It’s almost as if the government wants us to happen
