> Then, recalling a meeting with Comperatore’s widow, Helen, he made a risky attempt to find humour in the tragedy. “So they’re going to get millions of dollars but the woman, the wife, this beautiful woman, I handed her the cheque – we handed her the cheque – and she said, ‘This is so nice, and I appreciate it, but I’d much rather have my husband.’ Now, I know some of the women in this room wouldn’t say the same.”
> As dinner guests erupted in laughter, Trump quipped: “I know at least four couples. There are four couples, Governor [Abbott], that I know and you’re not one of them. At least four couples here would have been thrilled, actually.”

It turns out 45% of American voters are just desperate to vote for a total scumbag. Go figure.

I might be having an insane case of deja vu, but I am pretty sure I heard him say exactly this at a public rally?
Pretty sure I’ve heard this before.
Edit – found the source, good to know after my TBI my memory is getting better
He has already made this stupid ignorant ‘joke’ publicly, this is a non story given he thinks it’s fine to say this over and over publicly, the ‘leaked recording’ is just clickbait lmao.

He’s like a gangster with a huge “Loyalty” face tattoo sitting in a police station as a paid informant.

He is a classless motherfucker

To the conservative Trump-supporting patriots lurking in this thread: would you care to come to the defense of your leader, and justify this behavior?

He also said God directed the bullet away from his wig and into his supporter. God must have hated that guy.

There is zero doubt he hates that guy for taking attention away from him.

Hasn’t he made this joke in public before?

Its just everyday with this asshole. When does it end?

Somebody should ask his name the next time they see Trump. Bet you $1000 he doesn’t know it.

It doesn’t matter. He’s literally a convicted criminal who very obviously tried to overthrow American democracy. Nothing matters.

Thing is, to his cult, it’s wonderful and funny and everything they love about him.
To sane people, they’re going WTF?

… and of COURSE slimeball Greg Abbott was there.

Donald Trump making jokes about dead people or grieving relatives. Nah. Couldn’t be.
Right Repubs?

He would know. His wife would bite their hands off to get rid of him.

Trump has the sensitivity of a strip club urinal cake

Didn’t he say the same thing at the convention? Misleading headline. He’s still a shitbag, though.

Have we had something come out every day so far in October that would sink a Presidential campaign if the mainstream media wasn’t so desperate for Donald Trump to win? Jack Smith’s unsealed filing, the video of Vance saying Trump won the 2020 election and now this. It’s just so sickening this is where we are in America.

His followers mean nothing to him other than their vote.
Why else would he hold up hurricane relief while he was in office until he knew the people he was helping were MAGA? Have to at least make sure they can vote. To him, it was fuck the rest. They can be homeless or dead for all he cares.
This ancient piece of shit needs to be flushed a second time.

Standout thought one of the people in attendance;
>Drew McKnight, a billionaire donor to the failed No Labels effort;
Just to drive home the point that No Labels is a transparent attempt to siphon Democratic votes to get Trump elected, look at who its donors are.

The widow will still vote for him.

He said he handed her the check, but the Gofundme is still going and currently $6.6 million. What check did he hand her and how much?

He’s such a unbelievable piece of shit.

Humor is supposed to punch up, not sure why conservative humor has to punch down. I do get why, but not how it seems funny.
Very “let them eat cake” to me.

his supporters won’t care, unfortunately.

He blatantly didn’t care that they died, I’m not surprised he thought it was funny.
