    Sure, I can understand trying to find ways to ‘get’ Trump, but seeing something that is still somewhat of an act of generosity as an opportunity to scam someone…

    Anyway a) he was probably never going to pay this out of his own personal pocket and b) this just resulted in this family to have to pay for their absurdly lavish funeral themselves

        I know, it’s like Oprah giving away cars. But still, takes a special person to see that as an opportunity to scam them

          takes a special person

          No, it really doesn’t.

          When someone brags about their wealth, and offers you free stuff without stipulation or limitation, the recipient is going to accept that offer. Any recipient.

          It takes a special person to offer financial support to a grieving mother because it’s looks great on television, and later withdraw that support.

          Oh look at this terrible calamity that has befallen you, why don’t you take this very nice thing that you can’t afford to make you feel better wink, I’ll surprise you with the bill for it once it’s too late and you can manage the burden of crushing debt as well as your grief at the loss of your child.
