n April 2020, Vanessa Guilln, a 20-year-old Army private, was bludgeoned to death by a fellow soldier at Fort Hood, in Texas. The killer, aided by his girlfriend, burned Guilln's body. Guilln's remains were discovered two months later, buried in a riverbank near the base, after a massive search.

Guilln, the daughter of Mexican immigrants, grew up in Houston, and her murder sparked outrage across Texas and beyond. Fort Hood had become known as a particularly perilous assignment for female soldiers, and members of Congress took up the cause of reform. Shortly after her remains were discovered, President Donald Trump himself invited the Guilln family to the White House. With Guilln's mother seated beside him, Trump spent 25 minutes with the family as television cameras recorded the scene.

In the meeting, Trump maintained a dignified posture and expressed sympathy to Guilln's mother. "I saw what happened to your daughter Vanessa, who was a spectacular person, and respected and loved by everybody, including in the military," Trump said. Later in the conversation, he made a promise: "If I can help you out with the funeral, I'll help--I'll help you with that," he said. "I'll help you out. Financially, I'll help you."

Natalie Khawam, the family's attorney, responded, "I think the military will be paying--taking care of it." Trump replied, "Good. They'll do a military. That's good. If you need help, I'll help you out." Later, a reporter covering the meeting asked Trump, "Have you offered to do that for other families before?" Trump responded, "I have. I have. Personally. I have to do it personally. I can't do it through government." The reporter then asked: "So you've written checks to help for other families before this?" Trump turned to the family, still present, and said, "I have, I have, because some families need help ... Maybe you don't need help, from a financial standpoint. I have no idea what--I just think it's a horrific thing that happened. And if you did need help, I'm going to--I'll be there to help you."

5. History's interpretation: Germany's dictatorship which was supported by yes-men was not a winning platform.

Trump's interpretation: Germany just needed a better dictator.

22. First, they vowed they'd die for him.

Some saw what he was about, though, and did their damndest to make up for their error in judgment.

3. Nicolle Wallace is the best

She again exposes this animal.

TSF promised to pay for her funeral before the election, he loses the election and then he explodes that he isn’t paying for the funeral.
Clare McCaskill nailed it, he will say anything to get elected but once elected his true self comes out.

Hope this spreads to other news sources but I doubt it.

8. Hitlers generals knew he would lose the war

Because he was an idiot and dictated bad strategy and tactics far too often.

So most of them humored him as best as they could so they could survive the war.

14. !

Trump became angry. “It doesn’t cost 60,000 bucks to bury a fucking Mexican!” He turned to his chief of staff, Mark Meadows, and 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.”
