Rather than visit Arizona, Donald Trump has spent the last two years spreading conspiracy theories and fighting mounting legal challenges
ARIZONA– Donald Trump once again demonstrates he isn’t fighting for working Arizonans– he is fighting for himself. Copper Courier recently reported the Trump campaign needing to choose between state visits because the campaign is increasingly strapped for cash after months of paying for Trump’s legal suits. Today’s court hearing only added pressure, as Trump now has to pay a $175 million bond in the civil fraud case against him.
“Donald Trump has more baggage to pay for than he knows what to do with,” said Arizona Democratic Party Chairwoman Yolanda Bejarano. “At every opportunity, he is reminding us he cares more about covering up his own scandals than he does about asking the people of Arizona for their vote. Trump’s bad business, conspiracy theories and extremist, MAGA agenda would be disastrous for Arizonans.”
In case you missed the toplines:
- Trump’s campaign is floundering to find support– “to the point where he is reportedly being forced to triage which states he can afford to hold rallies in.”
- Trump today was ordered to pay $175 million bond in his New York civil fraud trial found that he and his company had lied about their assets for years.
- The last time Donald Trump visited Arizona was in October 2022 to campaign for gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake and US Senate candidate Blake Masters, both of whom lost their election.
- As reported by the Copper Courier, “During his previous visits, Trump wasn’t billed for his use of venues and city services like on-site law enforcement until after his rally. As a result, his campaign left a trail of unpaid invoices from Tucson to Prescott totaling roughly $150,000.”
- Donald Trump was scheduled to be in Arizona earlier this month and he bailed at the last minute. The latest cancellation marks Trump’s second scrapped trip to Arizona in less than two months, the first occurring in January due to his required appearance in court for the defamation case, which he lost.
- Trump is facing four other criminal cases, with the earliest case set to begin trial in April.
