    Trump reportedly complained later in the day that these “fucking people” are “trying to rip me off.”

    He thinks it’s his money.

      I mean, to be fair, at least someone cares about the egregious waste that taxpayers spend their money on just to make rich people rich.

      It most certainly should not cost $60k of taxpayer money to bury a soldier. Someone, odds are a small group of interconnected people, is making profit off of fleecing the American public.

        That’s not what he cares about here, though. Very obviously.

        As one of SO MANY examples, he charged the secret service, i.e. Taxpayers, ridiculously inflated daily costs after requiring that they stay in trump owned properties throughout his time in office and have events planned and catered by his businesses at equally exorbitant prices.

        So, on balance here, You’re either ignorant or you’re intentionally trying to show trump in what you think is a favorable light. You can acknowledge that what you said here is unfathomably short sighted at best and edit your original post OR you can just sit there unmoved and show your whole ass as a fraud trying to make a coward’s argument for trump.

        The only problem I have with your statement is the implication that the only “someone” is trump.

        Everyone should care about waste or excess spending.

        Edit: and trump himself has driven a shitload of waste and excess for personal gain.

        That cost isn’t even high by civilian standards, and the military has struggled to provide proper servicee, you’d be surprised how many people who are in uniform providing services at military funerals are just people willing to volunteer to do so at their own cost, some travel quite a length to do so.

        The next time someone asks you about being a patriot, supporting the troops, and so forth, keep in mind that your against proper funeral services for veterans to save a nickel and represent that view. Be honest, let them know you don’t care.
