The Atlantic is leading the way with this little gem about Trump offering to pay for Vanessa Guillen&#8217;s (young soldier beaten to death a Ft. Hood) funeral, and exploding at the reported bill:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In the meeting, Trump maintained a dignified posture and expressed sympathy to Guill\u00e9n\u2019s mother. \u201cI saw what happened to your daughter Vanessa, who was a spectacular person, and respected and loved by everybody, including in the military,\u201d Trump said. Later in the conversation, he made a promise: \u201cIf I can help you out with the funeral, I\u2019ll help\u2014I\u2019ll help you with that,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ll help you out. Financially, I\u2019ll help you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Trump became angry. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t cost 60,000 bucks to bury a fucking Mexican!\u201d He turned to his chief of staff, Mark Meadows, and issued an order: \u201cDon\u2019t pay it!\u201d Later that day, he was still agitated. \u201cCan you believe it?\u201d he said, according to a witness. \u201cFucking people, trying to rip me off.\u201d\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/politics\/archive\/2024\/10\/trump-military-generals-hitler\/680327\/\">The Atlantic<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Whoa&#8230;strong language, and a VERY bad look for a Presidential nominee. I did a quick search for &#8220;murdered Mexican funeral Trump&#8221; and see virtually every MSM carrying the story virtually verbatim. The Atlantic article goes on to allege Trump continually disparages the military (well, he has stepped in THAT cow patty more than once &#8211; he is VERY quotable when you take his remarks out of context) .They bring up every allegation pretty much ever, including of course that Trump had a medical deferment that kept him from being drafted. Funny, they don&#8217;t mention the slavering hero-worship of Joe Biden, who had exactly the same number and type of deferments, riding out Vietnam in his Corvette. Presumably with that life-threatening asthma Joe alleges (which never prevented him from playing intramural sports or being a LIFEGUARD) Joe needed the motorized assistance?\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/politics\/archive\/2024\/10\/trump-military-generals-hitler\/680327\/\">The Atlantic<\/a><\/p>\n<p>What most of the articles omit, and the Atlantic buries &#8216;way down in the article, is denials from people who were IN THE ROOM.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In statements shared with <em>The Independent<\/em>, members of the Trump campaign and former staff members vehemently denied that such exchanges took place. \u201cPresident Donald Trump never said that. This is an outrageous lie from <em>The Atlantic<\/em> two weeks before the election,\u201d said Trump campaign adviser Alex Pfeiffer.<\/p>\n<p>Kash Patel, former Pentagon Chief of Staff, who was reportedly in the room at the time of the alleged comments said: \u201cOf course, President Trump didn\u2019t say that. President Trump ensured that this victim received full military honors.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn addition, President Trump was able to have the Department of Defense designate her death as occurring \u2018in the line of duty,\u2019 which gave her full military honors and provided her family access to benefits, services, and complete financial assistance.\u201d\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/news\/world\/americas\/us-politics\/trump-vanessa-guillen-murder-military-funeral-b2633903.html\">The Independent<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And from the Guillen family?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In addition, following the publication of the claims in <em>The Atlantic, <\/em>Mayra Guillen, sister of Vanessa Guillen, blasted the outlet for \u201cexploiting my sister\u2019s death for politics,\u201d describing the piece as \u201churtful and disrespectful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Donald Trump did nothing but show respect to my family &amp; Vanessa. In fact, I voted for President Trump today,\u201d she wrote on X.\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/news\/world\/americas\/us-politics\/trump-vanessa-guillen-murder-military-funeral-b2633903.html\">The Independent<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It&#8217;s interesting that this morning the breakfast talk was about Harris is doing particularly poorly among Hispanic voters and young black males.
