    So the sister of the fallen troop spoke out and said this was a lie. So tell me this who do we believe? A made up story or actual facts from a direct family member

      What would the family member even know about it? No one was saying Trump said it to the family’s face, although I can see why you’d assume he did.

        The sister said the story was false. You obviously read some news and took it as facts. Good job on confirming how stupid people are nowadays

          You say that I’m stupid, let’s assume you’re correct. Explain to me like I’m Forrest Gump how the slain woman’s sister would know that the President didn’t call her sister a “fucking Mexican” in a private meeting.

          Because from the original article, it’s clear that the family did send a bill to Trump, and never received a penny in return, and this was verified with the same family lawyer who released the sister’s statement. And no article I’ve read says the sister claims the bill was paid, a pretty damning omission. How would the reporter even know about that bill if the story was made up?

        Their source is that the woman’s sister, who wasn’t in the room when Trump would have said it, says it isn’t true. Even though the rest of the details check out according to the lawyer who released that sister’s statement.

        So definitely false for sure!
