Is anyone surprised by this?
'I can't believe someone is trying to rip me off'
To be fair to him that is an exorbitant amount.
I'm not upset that he's upset at the amount. It's purely the second half of that sentence that shows what a piece of shit he is
I could see a frustrated dad grumbling about "Price of X" on his own time, and it wouldn't be the death of their character. My dad has extended frustration to me when I've overpaid for things.
What sets this moment apart, to me, is the choice of language for the noun. "a fucking Mexican". It's extremely important to me that THAT is his label, and that racial identity somehow influenced the expected cost in his mind.
Then maybe he should look at what he did as president and realize why he should fuck right off and not ever be seen again.
“Donald Trump raged when he learned the funeral bill for Vanessa Guillén—the U.S. soldier who was sexually harassed and horrifically murdered by a male soldier at Fort Hood in 2020—cost $60,000, a bombshell report revealed Tuesday.
That outburst came after Trump invited Guillén’s loved ones to the White House and offered to pay for her funeral…”
He offered to pay. No one asked him to do that.
