You were kidding, right???
The party wouldn't. His campaign organization may have paid something for the enormous police presence. The city, the county, the state and at least two neighboring towns contributed security personnel and equipment.
I doubt there's any way to get his campaign to pay for damages even though what happened was completely predictable. Trump is on record saying some very demeaning things about hispanics and this state has a majority population of hispanics, who as a group are proud people.
The governor (who is an hispanic woman one generation out of Mexico) refuses to support Trump and did not attend. Her statement ahead of his arrival was to the effect of "I hope the protests don't get out of hand."
Everyone knew they would.
