The current governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, has gone Trumpist. He's out to prove it by continuing to build Texas's stretch of Trump's much ridiculed border wall. Abbott is taking $250 million dollars from the state budget to do so.
On June 30, the Orange-utan himself will travel to Texas to return the favor. The pair will have a meetup -- a photo-op, anyway -- to tour the wall in El Paso, where Trump will scatter his brand of boosterism over Abbott and the project Abbott has undertaken.
Problem is, Trump owes El Paso $570,000 from his "Make America Great Again" rally in February 2019. The money -- well over half for police department services -- was due in April 2019.
In January of that year, Trump stood up on Law Enforcement Appreciation Day and told them, "Nobody appreciates you more than the president of the United States."
In another first for Trump among American presidents, El Paso hired a collections firm to pursue the cash.
In October 2020, the nonprofit Center for Public Integrity reported that Trump's total debts for 14 municipalities amounted to $1.82 million.
