Wonder if all the damn MAGA's would really like what tRump said about the man who died......

Former President Donald Trump was caught on tape making jokes while speaking about the death of a supporter, riffing that “at least four” couples at a fundraiser would be “thrilled” to get a million dollars after their spouses were killed.

At a private fundraiser in Aspen, Colorado on August 10, Trump talked about the July 13 assassination attempt that left Trump bloodied and Trump supporter and former firefighter Corey Comperatore dead as he shielded his family.

According to leaked audio obtained by The Guardian, Trump told attendees about widow Helen Comperatore’s reaction to receiving a million-dollar check — then went on a shocking riff:

Trump told how members of his Florida golf club, Mar-a-Lago, asked to make a contribution to Comperatore’s family. “I said absolutely and they gave me a cheque for a million dollars. That’s a lot of money. Maybe even more impressively we put out a GoFundMe and we raised more than $6m for the group that got hurt, which is essentially three people.”

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.”

Piece of shit….he’s having a moment of silence for the man who died and the other two who were wounded..…..🤬 🤬 🤬 NOW he having a moment of silence and the “Ava Maria being sung by a Spaniard.

Let me just puke right here……

that put that kid on that roof with that gun. Shoot off your mouth about second amendment solutions? Think it's cute to threaten civil war because we got the guns? Well, guess what, you unleash that, and a second amendment solution might just come your way. Boo fucking hoo!

I had the sound off while TSF was bloviating in Butler, then I turned it on for five seconds when I heard ‘Sir, you’re the …’ That’s it. Click. I don’t know why MSNBC is covering this spectacle. I hope the families can eventually wrest that six million dollar GoFundMe out of his filthy hands.
