"No, 60k is to bury a DEAD Mexican. The ones fucking generally don't want to be buried"

[-] xenoclast@lemmy.world 20 points 3 hours ago

Like he'd pay any bill ever

[-] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 7 points 3 hours ago

Aw he's trying to shout like a lil tough guy but he's just unhinging that beta jaw for the ol "arnold palmer", as he calls it.

[-] phreekno@lemmy.world 7 points 3 hours ago

“It doesn’t cost 60,000 bucks to bury a f---ing Mexican!” Is this trump admitting to murdering mexicans? Or at least knowing how much it cost to bury them afterwards?

Fuckface 45 is a disgusting pile of burning excrement.

[-] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 47 points 6 hours ago

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…

[-] RecluseRamble@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 3 hours ago

That's the main point I never understood about his voters. His political agenda and your political affiliation don't even matter. All you have to understand is that everything he does is for his own benefit. Nobody wants an egoist in charge in a smaller setting - why the fuck elect one as president?

[-] caffinatedone@lemmy.world 2 points 30 minutes ago

Because they think that he will hurt people that they've been led to hate.

[-] doggle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 118 points 9 hours ago

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

[-] PunnyName@lemmy.world 48 points 7 hours ago

Because he starts with super racism and goes from there.

[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 12 points 5 hours ago

Super racism. Almost makes ya reminisce over just plain ol' regular racism, right?

[-] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 74 points 9 hours ago

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.

[-] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 16 points 4 hours ago

Back in the '80s Trump publicly offered to pay the funeral expenses of a child killed by a bear ... and then reneged, naturally.

It's absolutely vile to invite the mother to the white house, offer to pay, and then later rescind that offer.

If he'd never offered it wouldn't matter.

This is just so so abhorrent, even for trump.

so they don't leave bad reviews.

[-] criss_cross@lemmy.world 40 points 8 hours ago

The fact that this election is close makes this all even worse.

[-] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 21 points 7 hours ago

Your country is fucked dude.

[-] Backlog3231@reddthat.com 12 points 6 hours ago

Bad news: if America goes under everyone goes under. You can't rip out a backbone of the global markets and expect no fallout.

[-] problematicPanther@lemmy.world 2 points 52 minutes ago

we're all fucked, horray!

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 19 points 4 hours ago

Oh we do expect fallout, I've even been collecting bottle caps.

I hate this man more than words can express

[-] billiam0202@lemmy.world 74 points 9 hours ago

And yet somehow, not as much as I hate the people who will vote for him.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 55 points 9 hours ago

Trump would be nothing without his enablers. They definitely deserve your loathing first.

[-] RedditWanderer@lemmy.world 45 points 10 hours ago

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

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.

[-] Myxomatosis@lemmy.world 32 points 8 hours ago

That’s what pissed me off the most when I read this. Fucking pathetic.

[-] Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world 54 points 9 hours ago

What an absolute fucking moron, I hope her sister is haunting her

[-] Myxomatosis@lemmy.world 35 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

If I were a betting man, I would wager that Donald will drop the “N” word by the time the election is over.

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 1 points 9 minutes ago

He got to occupy the news space so yeah why not. He wants hitler generals and "loves" Kim jong un and putin so there's no limit IMO.

[-] communist@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz 15 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

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

[-] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 hours ago

I dunno. I don't think any politician can come back from dropping an N-bomb (Trump excluded). I'd like to think the b-word would be treated just as harshly, but I guess white people haven't been scolded enough over it yet.

One time when I was in highschool, a student said, in front of the principal, that he hopes trump would build that "beaner wall", one of the other students confronted him, saying it was racist, the principal (a trump supporter, obviously) said "what's racist about that?"

The fact that this interaction has ever occurred on this earth leaves me with no hope that it would be treated as harshly.

I would put money on that. What I wouldn't bet on would be it losing him votes.

I'm starting to think Donald Trump is not a very nice person.

[-] Anamnesis@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

You know, the more I learn about this Trump character, the less I like him.

[-] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 8 points 6 hours ago

That's what they want you to think.
