How the city of Waco forced serial deadbeat Trump to actually pay his rally expenses

Donald Trump takes so little accountability for anything—whether it’s paying for his crimes, paying his bills, or explaining why his son is on the internet nearly every night doing Kafkaesque anti-drug commercials—that it feels like a small win for justice whenever it actually happens. So, weirdly enough, it’s worth noting when someone forces him to pay for things he’s legally obligated to pay for.

Trump held a rally in Waco, Texas, at the end of March to whine about the universe and remind everyone what it was like to have a squishy wad of pure, shambolic id as president. He didn’t say anything of particular import—if you want to get the gist, just cue up any one of Adolf Hitler’s old speeches while mainlining meth and ranch dressing into your carotid artery—but he did pay his rally-related expenses.

Because Waco was ready for him.
