Trump really is a cheap bastard

There's already a thread on this.

This is mentioned in that thread but is not contained in the title and OP, which cover trump's racism re the burial costs for the Mexican-American servicewoman. The Atlantic article goes on to point out that trump offered to pay for the funeral - then refused to send any money at all - and is something that came up (and was brought to that thread) later on.

Speaks for itself, what a piece of shit

From the article...

Shortly after I emailed a series of questions to a Trump spokesperson, Alex Pfeiffer, I received an email from Khawam, who asked me to publish a statement from Mayra Guillén, Vanessa’s sister. Pfeiffer then emailed me the same statement. “I am beyond grateful for all the support President Donald Trump showed our family during a trying time,” the statement reads. “I witnessed firsthand how President Trump honors our nation’s heroes’ service. We are grateful for everything he has done and continues to do to support our troops.”

Pfeiffer told me that he did not write that statement, and emailed me a series of denials. Regarding Trump’s “****ing Mexican” comment, Pfeiffer wrote: “President Donald Trump never said that. This is an outrageous lie from The Atlantic two weeks before the election.” He provided statements from Patel and a spokesman for Meadows, who denied having heard Trump make the statement. Via Pfeiffer, Meadows’s spokesman also denied that Trump had ordered Meadows not to pay for the funeral.

The statement from Patel that Pfeiffer sent me said: “As someone who was present in the room with President Trump, he strongly urged that Spc. Vanessa Guillen’s grieving family should not have to bear the cost of any funeral arrangements, even offering to personally pay himself in order to honor her life and sacrifice. In addition, President Trump was able to have the Department of Defense designate her death as occurring ‘in the line of duty,’ which gave her full military honors and provided her family access to benefits, services, and complete financial assistance.”​

Seems to me the pieces of shit are the people who are lying about Trump. (Of course, we don't know who they are.)
 
Reminds me of a wealthy farmer that offered to pay only 50 cents an hour for bailing hay to a nephew of mine. We excused it due to his age and thinking wages hasn't changed his younger days. Turns out the same farmer rented an apartment to my sister and it sure wasn't at the rates of his younger days. The man could have been a millionaire but he drove a second hand car and got his clothes at Good Will. Cheap bastard and money was his God.

Everyone lies but Trump. He is the only one that you can trust and that tells the truth.
Trump uber alles.

Then why did the Atlantic report on it? I thought they were reliable or are they? Take your pick.

Too late, Biden was already elected. So in effect we got what we deserve and the very reason why he got kicked out of the current election.

There's one person...unidentified...who is making claims about what Trump said. There are multiple people...all identified...who are saying those claims are a lie.

You do the math.

We did get what we deserve, a bipartisan multi-billion dollar infrastructure bill that's improving every state.
That's what good governance looks like.

In effect, we got a weekend at Bernie’s reject and likely people running the country who we didn’t elect to office.
