 >Trump told how members of his Florida golf club, Mar-a-Lago, asked to make a contribution to Comperatore’s family. “I said absolutely and they gave me a cheque for a million dollars. That’s a lot of money. Maybe even more impressively we put out a GoFundMe and we raised more than $6m for the group that got hurt, which is essentially three people.” 

>the wife, this beautiful woman, I handed her the check—we handed her the check

Imagine that for a moment, a man dies attending your rally, of a bullet meant for you. Your golf club friends give a million dollars to his widow, and strangers raise $6 million from a GoFundMe for the victims. Yet all you can say is that that’s a lot of money, that some of your guests would rather have the money, rather than their husbands, and the widow is a beautiful woman. On top of that there’s no indication that a Billionaire contributed to the GoFundMe campaign. The lack of empathy is astounding.
