Is Trump done for?

The Republican ticket is doing its best to avoid damning new stories. The Atlantic is out with a new article quoting more of the racist and reprehensible things Trump reportedly says behind closed doors, including alleged comments about a murdered army private.

In 2020, Vanessa Guillén, the daughter of Mexican immigrants, was killed by another soldier in Texas. At the time, Trump offered to pay for her funeral. But when the bill came, according to the report, Trump was furious, telling his chief of staff Mark Meadows, “It doesn’t cost 60,000 bucks to bury a f---ing Mexican!’”

The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg goes on to report:

[Trump] 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. ‘F---ing people, trying to rip me off.’

According to the Atlantic, Trump didn’t pay the bill. You can make up your own mind as to whether or not that sounds like something Trump would say.

Just hours after that Atlantic report was released, The New York Times published an interview with another former Trump chief of staff, John Kelly, in which he called his former boss a fascist.

“Certainly the former president is in the far-right area, he’s certainly an authoritarian, admires people who are dictators — he has said that,” Kelly told Michael Schmidt. “So he certainly falls into the general definition of fascist, for sure.”

In less than two weeks, it’s up to the American people to decide if that man — a man who reportedly disparaged a murdered soldier and, according to his own former chief of staff, fits the definition of a fascist — deserves another four years in the White House.
