This is not someone killed in battle:
Somehow knowing the circumstances of her death makes Trump's awful remark even nastier. Especially since he is a rapist.
Trump says vile things every day but this has to be one of the vilest.
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.
I have enough loathing to go around
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?
. . . but not Gary, he’s one of the good ones!
How expensive do you think he'd want his own funeral to be?
Can’t wait to be able to pee on that grave. It’ll be like a pilgrimage.
Gotta make sure to take the trip to Rush's and Kissinger's, too.
His casket is gonna have more gold in it than king tut’s. It’ll be expensive as shit.
He followed through with the sentiment too.
So like any other bill.
He pays hookers.
so they don't leave bad reviews.
Lol
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.
But he definitely doesn’t think the same way about the people voting for him…
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?
It's as if they all think that they'll be rewarded for their loyalty to him.
He talks in very “us vs them” styles and it seems like a lot of people respond to that thinking the in group is his supporters. It isn’t, but they’re so sure. And it makes sense, he clearly adores his fans. But the in group is him. Everyone else is at risk of joining the out group on his whim
Because they think that he will hurt people that they've been led to hate.
It will 100% stop her from immigrating.
I never thought the leopards would eat MY face!
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.
Oh we do expect fallout, I've even been collecting bottle caps.
I almost wrote "and mine's not far behind"
we're all fucked, horray!
Behold, first past the post in its natural state!
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.
At least he said Mexican.
And not....you know....something more racist.
Every cloud
