    Ughh as usual fuck you media asshats… Not that it’s really that much better, and believe me I fucking despise trump and the current day Republican party, but his joke was about other women.

    He was making a misogynistic joke that other women would be thrilled to have money, and not care as much about their lost husband… He wasn’t making a joke about the people at the rally or their slain family members as this article tries to make you believe… This helps no one rawstory and only reenforces Magoos belief that all media is biased against trump.

    Hit him for the misogynistic nature of the joke, no need to lie about who it was aimed at…

      Trump is using the widows response to her husbands death to deliver a joke. Trying to make the whole thing funny. How is that joke not at their expense, when it’s built on their situation?
      Trump is absolutely being disgusting, and half the people here can’t even see it?

      Its a joke that tells you what he thinks about relationships. That they are inherently transactional, with “rare” outliers like this widow in his story.

      Thank you. I’m glad to see someone else saying this. RawStory should be banned. They are as much disinformation as anything on the right. They take things out of context, twist the wording, and sometimes blatantly lie just to create rage bait. The biggest things they achieve making the left look as bad as the right and giving Trump legitimate ammunition to use when he says the media are out to get him.

        I absolutely agree. Almost every RawStory piece I see is pretty garbage and the exact type of nonsense and same wanton disregard for fact that infuriates me about the Right’s media ecosphere.
