…no money was ever received by the family from #Trump. Some of the costs…were covered by the #Army (which offered…to allow Guillén to be buried at #ArlingtonNationalCemetery) & some were covered by donations. Ultimately, Guillén was buried in Houston.
…The personal qualities displayed by Trump in his reaction to the cost of the Guillén funeral—#contempt, #rage, #parsimony, #racism—hardly surprised his inner circle.
Acc/to attendees, & to contemporaneous notes of the meeting taken by a participant, an aide answered: Yes, we received a bill; the funeral cost $60,000.
#Trump became angry. “It doesn’t cost 60,000 bucks to bury a fucking Mexican!” He turned to his chief of staff, #MarkMeadows, & issued an order: “Don’t pay it!” Later that day, he was still agitated. “Can you believe it?” he said, according to a witness. “Fucking people, trying to rip me off.”
