Near the end of Trump’s first term as president, he offered to cover the funeral costs of an American Soldier who was murdered at Fort Hood. He told the grieving family, “If I can help you out with the funeral, I’ll help — I’ll help you with that… If you did need help, I’m going to — I’ll be there to help you.”
Six months later, the family sent Trump the bill. From sources in the room, covered by The Atlantic, this is how Trump responded:
“It doesn’t cost 60,000 bucks to bury a fucking Mexican! Don’t pay it!” Later, he said: “Can you believe it? Fucking people, trying to rip me off.”

When it was first reported that Trump called the fallen “suckers” and “losers,” Trump and his spokespeople denied it.
But Trump’s former White House Chief of Staff, retired Marine General John Kelly, confirmed it.
Any time allegations like this arise, Trump denies it. His staff deny it. But eventually, it’s confirmed by former members of his inner circle.
And every time it happens, these confirmations demonstrate beyond any doubt that Donald Trump’s disrespect, his disdain, his outright contempt for the men and women who put on the uniform of our country and put their lives on the line in our defense…
It has no limit.
This is a man who uses the same words, the same phrases, as fascists like Hitler and Mussolini.
A man who told advisors, “I need the kind of Generals that Hitler had.”
A man who calls his political opponents “the enemy from within” and would use the Military to attack them.
A man who asked his Secretary of Defense to order the National Guard to shoot protesters.
A man whose own lawyers argued that he could order SEAL Team Six to assassinate a political opponent, and it would be legal.
A man who appointed three justices to a Supreme Court that upheld their argument.
A man who praises dictators. Who envies them. Who wants to be them. A contemptful, disgusting, disgraceful man.
And a man who could become president once again.
