You mean the guy that said veterans are losers and suckers?

The bone spurs guy? That guy?

Not like it matters, facts don't change people's vote.

He stiffs everybody all the time. If it was $600 he still would’ve stiffed them.

The racial slurs are just a bonus.

Hmm free slurs you say?

I'd spend $60K to get this shithead in the ground.

You'll get a tax rebate if you bury him on a golf course

I'll start by saying Trump is a horrible piece of shit and I wish him nothing but harm... but how $60k?

The funeral industry (in a nutshell) is hella expensive

Cost of the plot, scheduling, cost of a casket, prepping the deceased, if there's anything special there's that cost as well, etc

There's a reason I tell my family that when I die, cremate me and put my remains in a coffee can. If you wanna schedule some kind of event do it completely removed from the funeral parlor.

To add to this, funerals for veterans/active duty can be a bit more involved. I'll admit I don't know who pays for the military ceremony, but someone does.

That must have a lot to do with it and was the only thing I was thinking could blow that price out. Going off a quick google, the median is $8500ish.
