Just the most despicable person


In an Oval Office meeting on December 4, 2020, officials gathered [...] At a certain point, according to two people present at the meeting, Trump asked, “Did they bill us for the funeral? What did it cost?”

According to attendees, and to contemporaneous notes of the meeting taken by a participant, an aide answered: Yes, we received a bill; the funeral cost $60,000.

Trump became angry. “It doesn’t cost 60,000 bucks to bury a fucking 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. “Fucking people, trying to rip me off.”

Says the world's biggest grifter who rips off everyone he possibly can.
Khawam, the family attorney, told me she sent the bill to the White House, but no money was ever received by the family from Trump. Some of the costs, Khawam said, were covered by the Army [...] and some were covered by donations.
Trump is denying the whole thing. Of course.


UPDATE 10/23/2024:


It would have to be much worse than that.  And I can't even imagine anything that would end his campaign other than him dying.
