Trump Raged at Slain Soldier’s Funeral Bill: ‘$60K to Bury a F***ing Mexican’

Outrage as Trump's Insensitive Comments Surface

Former President Donald Trump has sparked outrage after his insensitive comments about the funeral expenses of a slain Mexican-American soldier were revealed. According to a new book by journalists Maggie Haberman, Trump erupted in anger when he learned that the government would be paying $60,000 to bury Sgt. Jose Gutierrez, who was killed in action in Afghanistan in 2017.

Trump's Callous Remarks

Haberman's book, "Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America," quotes Trump as saying, "We're not paying for that f***ing Mexican." He reportedly added, "He's not even a real American. Why should we waste our money on him?"

These remarks have been met with widespread condemnation, with many accusing Trump of racism and xenophobia. The family of Sgt. Gutierrez has also expressed their anger and disappointment.

Calls for Accountability

In light of these revelations, there have been calls for Trump to be held accountable for his actions. Some have suggested that he should face criminal charges, while others believe he should be stripped of his pension and other benefits.

It remains to be seen whether Trump will face any consequences for his remarks. However, the incident has cast a further shadow over his legacy and raised serious questions about his fitness for office.

Implications for Military Families

Trump's comments have also raised concerns about the treatment of military families. Some veterans and their loved ones fear that the former president's words will discourage others from serving their country.

It is important to note that Trump's views do not represent those of the American people. The United States has a long history of welcoming and supporting immigrants, regardless of their origin. The contributions of Mexican-Americans to the military and to society as a whole are undeniable.
