And the only thing that matters: “Trump’s little butthole gremlin crawled out of his crack to comment: Lies! Democrat Lies! He never said this!!” and all the Magoos nodded in agreement at the absolute truth provided by an unbiased cult member.
Wtf are funerals that expensive?
In the US, funeral homes try to get as much money out of you as possible because they know you are emotionally vulnerable. There are exposes on funeral homes having predatory services.
They can be, sadly. It depends where you live, where you have someone buried, and what services and coffin and whatnot you get. But yeah, the funeral business in the US is pretty crazy greedy. $60k is definitely on the higher end. According to a quick Google, my state’s average funeral cost is around $8k, with the total cost (including mortuary services, etc) around $20k.
Yeah but it’s gotta be cheaper for Mexicans, right? (/s, obviously)
The hell. What if your wage is 10k a year. Ie. you’re on disability benefits or social security. Will my family have to bury me in the backyard?
That is the average, not the median. The median looks a lot different (cheaper):
Not allowed to do that
But cremation is cheaper
So it’s illegal to die poor
Illegal to live poor too… shitty situation to be in
Have you tried not being poor?
We don’t really have a couple thousand saved up to throw at a cremation either. Urgh. Capitalism sucks.
the man is a completely amoral, psycho-sociopathic narcissist
“No, 60k is to bury a DEAD Mexican. The ones fucking generally don’t want to be buried”
Like he’d pay any bill ever
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.
“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?

For the rest of us.
Thanks MVP
Fuckface 45 is a disgusting pile of burning excrement.
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…
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.
Because they think that he will hurt people that they’ve been led to hate.
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
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.
Because he starts with super racism and goes from there.
Super racism. Almost makes ya reminisce over just plain ol’ regular racism, right?
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.
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.
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.
Racism aside, if I offered someone to help pay for a funeral, I’d choke in my coffee too if I the bill said $60.000 .
Yes, but you wouldn’t:
- offer to pay
- without any stipulations
- while on TV
- while in the white house
- as a person that brags about their wealth
- for a funeral
- of a military person
- in a high profile murder
Any idiot could see that the funeral was going to get out of hand.
If Trump said he’d by me lunch it’d be the most expensive lunch in history.
True, but you also wouldn’t have the world’s largest economy and one of, if not the, largest governmental budget in the world like Trump does.
And he also wasn’t paying for it out of his own pocket, it’d come from whatever federal budget covers the costs of military/veteran funerals.
The entire motivation behind this is clearly racism and sexism, plus his overall disdain for veterans/our military in general. Probably stems from a jealousy he has, since veterans tend to automatically be held in higher esteem than grifters like himself, and he knows he could never have handled bootcamp, nevermind the actual military.
He actually did say he was going to pay for it personally, the military might cover some component of it, but it’s in the article saying that he couldn’t reimburse the family through the government:
Natalie Khawam, the family’s attorney, responded, “I think the military will be paying—taking care of it.” Trump replied, “Good. They’ll do a military. That’s good. If you need help, I’ll help you out.” Later, a reporter covering the meeting asked Trump, “Have you offered to do that for other families before?” Trump responded, “I have. I have. Personally. I have to do it personally. I can’t do it through government.” The reporter then asked: “So you’ve written checks to help for other families before this?” Trump turned to the family, still present, and said, “I have, I have, because some families need help … Maybe you don’t need help, from a financial standpoint. I have no idea what—I just think it’s a horrific thing that happened. And if you did need help, I’m going to—I’ll be there to help you.”
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.
I almost wrote “and mine’s not far behind”
we’re all fucked, horray!
Oh we do expect fallout, I’ve even been collecting bottle caps.
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.
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.
Every cloud
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
If I were a betting man, I would wager that Donald will drop the “N” word by the time the election is over.
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.
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 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.
B-word? Just say the word
You first
I have no clue which word you are referring to. Bitch? Beaner? Beanie? Binder? Just say the word.
Betard
Now that’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time. A long time.
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
I’m starting to think Donald Trump is not a very nice person.
You’ve been duped!
I don’t know… I’m suspicious…
You know, the more I learn about this Trump character, the less I like him.
That’s what they want you to think.
I’m going to need further citations
I’m told he does not like dogs.
Even Hitler liked dogs! /s… Kinda.
Oh come on, give him a chance! /s
This is awful. But can we get a better news source on this?
“I think the military will be paying—taking care of it.” Trump replied, “Good. They’ll do a military. That’s good. If you need help, I’ll help you out.” Later, a reporter covering the meeting asked Trump, “Have you offered to do that for other families before?” Trump responded, “I have. I have. Personally. I have to do it personally. I can’t do it through government.” The reporter then asked: “So you’ve written checks to help for other families before this?” Trump turned to the family, still present, and said, “I have, I have, because some families need help … Maybe you don’t need help, from a financial standpoint. I have no idea what—I just think it’s a horrific thing that happened. And if you did need help, I’m going to—I’ll be there to help you.”
There’s a lot to unpack here.
Thanks!
