Don is a nasty POS, fuck him and all his supporters.
This is not someone killed in battle:
Donald Trump raged when he learned the funeral bill for Vanessa Guillén—the U.S. soldier who was sexually harassed and horrifically murdered by a male soldier at Fort Hood in 2020—cost $60,000, a bombshell report revealed Tuesday.
Somehow knowing the circumstances of her death makes Trump's awful remark even nastier. Especially since he is a rapist.
Guillén, a 20-year-old American of Mexican ancestry from Houston, was buried in her hometown on Aug. 15, 2020. Months later, in December, Trump reportedly asked his advisers in a meeting, “Did they bill us for the funeral? What did it cost?"
When an aide responded “yes” with the bill’s total, Trump allegedly unraveled. “It doesn’t cost 60,000 bucks to bury a f---ing Mexican,” he said, according to people in the meeting who spoke to the Atlantic.
Trump says vile things every day but this has to be one of the vilest.
But he definitely doesn’t think the same way about the people voting for him…
Damn, he was almost close to making a valid comment about how wildly overpriced funerals are today, then instead went full bore into super racism
Because he starts with super racism and goes from there.
Super racism. Almost makes ya reminisce over just plain ol' regular racism, right?
He followed through with the sentiment too.
The magazine reported that Trump then turned to his chief of staff, Mark Meadows, and ordered him, “Don’t pay it!” That order was apparently heeded by Meadows, as the Atlantic reported that Trump never sent a dime to help cover funeral costs for the slain woman.
So like any other bill.
He pays hookers.
so they don't leave bad reviews.
Lol
The fact that this election is close makes this all even worse.
Your country is fucked dude.
Bad news: if America goes under everyone goes under. You can't rip out a backbone of the global markets and expect no fallout.
Behold, first past the post in its natural state!
I hate this man more than words can express
And yet somehow, not as much as I hate the people who will vote for him.
Trump would be nothing without his enablers. They definitely deserve your loathing first.
And this is an american. Republicans should be afraid he can change whatever "american" is whenever he wants.
What's funny is his dumb brain immediately went with "What are the costs? I can blame the dems for cost" without even considering the circumstances
This is an American actively serving the country.
It's perfectly emblematic of how Trump doesn't just 'other' people for political gain, it's built in.
You're missing a verb but you're probably right.
They're using "other" as a verb. "Othering" people, as in racism
Oh right, sorry, I missed that. Makes sense now - thanks!
I wrapped it in single quotes so it makes more sense. Thanks
At least he said Mexican.
And not....you know....something more racist.
If I were a betting man, I would wager that Donald will drop the “N” word by the time the election is over.
I don't think so but I'd take a bet that he'll drop racial slurs for mexicans
i think he hates mexicans much more than black people, though he hates both, and the mexican slurs are easier to get away with politically
I would put money on that. What I wouldn't bet on would be it losing him votes.
Just a matter of time before he lets that slip.
Let's slip? He'll probably bray it, and still not a single vote will change
And the family he said it about continues to kiss his ass. What the fuck is wrong with people?
We are grateful for everything he has done and continues to do to support our troops.
Says the sister of the soldier who was sexually abused and slain at Fort Hood, TX.
That’s what pissed me off the most when I read this. Fucking pathetic.
What an absolute fucking moron, I hope her sister is haunting her
I'm starting to think Donald Trump is not a very nice person.
That's what they want you to think.
Oh come on, give him a chance! /s
I’m going to need further citations
I'm told he does not like dogs.
Even Hitler liked dogs! /s... Kinda.
Fuck the Troops!
-Patriotic Republicans!
But not with consent! -Trump in particular
This is awful. But can we get a better news source on this?
Fuck McDonald!
Old MacDonald!
