[W:241]Trump Was Enraged by Funeral Cost for ‘F–king Mexican’ U.S. Soldier: Report

The problem with being a person who says really stupid things on a regular basis is it becomes harder to distinguish fact from fiction. Since Trump had no issue spreading a false story about Haitian migrants eating pets, him calling a soldier a "f******* Mexican" sounds perfectly plausible. I mean, we just heard him call Harris a "s**t Vice President".

And tell a random person how big of a dick Arnold Palmer had.
 
Oh right named sources aren't a thing. Got it! :ROFLMAO:
Maybe it's true, maybe it isn't but what's more interesting are the blurred lines of believability since I don't think there's many people who would say "Trump would never say something like that".
 
Oh right named sources aren't a thing. Got it! :ROFLMAO:
The Atlantic is a credible source. Deal with it or not, but it's your issue, not ours.

What do you think of trump's reneging on his promise to pay for the funeral?
 
Like you give a ****.

Because even if a person is named who speaks about him negatively all you guys ever do is say "Well, they're JUST A HATER!!!".

So get off your "nAmE tHe SoUrCeS" garbage.

You don't care.
Oh wow an entire narrative in this alternate leftist reality.
 
Your anonymous source is reliable because...Donald Trump?
Because the article is published in a credible source. I understand you don't want to accept the unflattering portrayal of trump, but, that's not our problem.

Your trolling this thread re "anonymous sources" in a credible publication (The Atlantic) isn't a good idea.

Back to trump's reneging on his promise to pay for the funeral: What do you think of trump's going back on his word?
 
He offered publicly to pay for the funeral and thus far has refused. Her parents verified that. So, you were saying?
@Cosmo is trolling the thread ("anonymous sources" in a credible media source) in order to deflect attention away from

1) Trump's racism

2) Trump's reneging on his offer to pay for the funeral
 
Trump is not the source here. Some anonymous possibly nothingness is.
Or possibly somethingness. It goes back to the point that this is perfectly believable given what we've heard him say about other veterans and immigrant groups.
 
Maybe it's true, maybe it isn't but what's more interesting are the blurred lines of believability since I don't think there's many people who would say "Trump would never say something like that".
I suspect because most folks fall into one of these two:
  • Don't care to engage in leftist circle-jerking other than to point out the unreliability of anonymous sources.
  • Leftist parroting leftist mantra without a single critical thought like they always do.
 
The Atlantic is a credible source. Deal with it or not, but it's your issue, not ours.
Why would I need to deal with made up leftist nonsense? :confused:

I prefer to deal with reality.
 
He offered publicly to pay for the funeral and thus far has refused. Her parents verified that. So, you were saying?
Where is this offer? Where is the refusal? Let's get some facts first.
 
I suspect because most folks fall into one of these two:
  • Don't care to engage in leftist circle-jerking other than to point out the unreliability of anonymous sources. So I'll assume all of those unverified claims of election fraud were ones you actively rejected, yes?
  • Leftist parroting leftist mantra without a single critical thought like they always do. People are responding to a story about something that potentially happened. I pointed out how it's hard to tell whether Trump did or didn't say it because of his past behavior on very similar lines.
Comments in red above.
 
Where is this offer? Where is the refusal? Let's get some facts first.
Read the thread and get the facts.

Back to trump's racism and to trump's reneging on his promise to pay for the funeral:

...Trump became angry. “It doesn’t cost 60,000 bucks to bury a ****ing Mexican!” He turned to his chief of staff, Mark Meadows, and issued an order: “Don’t pay it!” Later that day, he was still agitated. “Can you believe it?” he said, according to a witness. “****ing people, trying to rip me off.”...
 
of course not. Doesn't take much to convince a leftist.

Bookmarking this post for the next time you come out in support of a conservative thread based on anonymous sources.
 
So I'll assume all of those unverified claims of election fraud were ones you actively rejected, yes?
You're welcome to point out supposed hypocrisy on my end by quoting claims I made based solely on baseless anonymous statements. Otherwise this is off-topic nonsense you're posting.

something that potentially happened
That's a very vague criteria, one that applies to pretty much anything ever imagine by anyone anywhere at any time, right? Can't you just admit you're using a baseless claim as a pretext for yet another thread where hateful leftists can vent their hatred of Donald Trump?
 
Nobody expects you to be convinced. Trump is your god.

But also nobody cares if you're convinced. You're MAGA, and thus not really worth caring about.
Deplorable?
 
So...The Atlantic quoting The Atlantic?
Again, a credible source. Stop trolling this thread.

Do you support trump's racism?

Do you support trump's reneging on his offer to pay for the funeral?
 
You're welcome to point out supposed hypocrisy on my end by quoting claims I made based solely on baseless anonymous statements. Otherwise this is off-topic nonsense you're posting.
Since I don't know whether your rationale is consistent, I asked the question I did.

That's a very vague criteria, one that applies to pretty much anything ever imagine by anyone anywhere at any time, right? Can't you just admit you're using a baseless claim as a pretext for yet another thread where hateful leftists can vent their hatred of Donald Trump?
Well, this is something reported in a magazine, not a rumor heard in a bar. It's not a baseless claim because it came from someone who was supposedly there. You'll note that I haven't said this actually happened, but that it is believable because Trump says a lot of stupid things, correct?
