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.
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?
Ok I know you have a lot of reasons for not voting Kamala, but I just gotta push back every time you say I'm eating up false stories, because most of what you said just doesn't support that at all.
I think you should consider that maybe I have good reason for my beliefs. Let me spell it out:
I think those are some good reasons to believe the story. I also get how people want to believe the family on an emotional level - what happened to them sucks and they have every right to feel whatever they want about Trump. As do you. But I will stand by the fact that on a rational level, it makes far more sense to believe this actually happened as reported.
