    “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?

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

        Let’s slip? He’ll probably bray it, and still not a single vote will change

        “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.
