Mayra Guillen, sister of the late U.S. Army soldier Vanessa Guillen, shot down an anonymous story from The Atlantic that said Donald Trump slandered Guillen by saying he offered to help pay for her funeral but “became angry” over the price and yelled an expletive.
In direct answer to The Atlantic, Guillen wrote on X:
“Wow. I don’t appreciate how you are exploiting my sister’s death for politics – hurtful & disrespectful to the important changes she made for service members. President Donald Trump did nothing but show respect to my family & Vanessa. In fact, I voted for President Trump today.”

Guillen then added, “My sister’s death was never to be politicized. Unbelievable.”
It was the Atlantic that published the anonymous story saying that Trump had called veterans who died in World War II “suckers and losers.” The news source didn’t name any sources back then, as it does now. In fact, Jeffrey Goldberg, the reporter who wrote the new report, also wrote the “suckers and losers” story.
It is owned by Laurene Powell Jobs, who gives a lot of money to Vice President Kamala Harris.
In case you were wondering with how much veracity you should treat Jeffrey Goldberg's latest anonymously sourced spectacle, the sister of the soldier in the story said it was false, Mark Meadows said it was false, and the owner of The Atlantic is one of Kamala's largest donors. https://t.co/Y0ua2CjVdR pic.twitter.com/LhylUwlcsw

According to The Atlantic, Trump volunteered to aid Guillen’s mother with burial fees, but then inquired about the charges eight months later, on December 4, 2020, at an Oval Office meeting. According to The Atlantic, citing “attendees” and “contemporaneous notes” of the meeting taken by “a participant,” an assistant informed Trump that the funeral cost $60,000, to which Trump “became angry” and exclaimed, “It doesn’t cost 60,000 bucks to bury a fucking Mexican!” and turned to his chief of staff, Mark Meadows, and ordered, “Don’t pay it!” According to the publication, Trump later in the day said, “Fucking people, trying to rip me off,” as reported by a “witness.”
I can almost guarantee you that the witness never existed. This is what The Atlantic does.
Meadows denied the report, writing in a statement and then posting on X:
“I was in the discussions featured in the Atlantic’s latest hit piece against President Trump. Let me say this. Any suggestion that President Trump disparaged Ms. Guillen or refused to pay for her funeral expenses is absolutely false. He was nothing but kind, gracious, and wanted to make sure that the military and the U.S. government did right by Vanessa Guillen and her family.”
Guillen actually reposted Meadows’ post. It was also in a statement that she told the Atlantic:
“I am beyond grateful for all the support President Donald Trump showed our family during a trying time. I witnessed firsthand how President Trump honors our nation’s heroes’ service. We are grateful for everything he has done and continues to do to support our troops.”
The Atlantic’s piece attempted to cast doubt on whether Guillen truly penned the statement, which her subsequent post on X revealed she did. What a bunch of scumbags.
Former Trump Pentagon Chief of Staff Kash Patel also denied the report in a statement.
“As someone who was present in the room with President Trump during that meeting on December 4, he strongly urged that Spc. Vanessa Guillen’s grieving family should not have to bear the cost of any funeral arrangements, even offering to personally pay himself in order to honor her life and sacrifice. In addition, President Trump was able to have the Department of Defense designate her death as occurring ‘in the line of duty,’ which gave her full military honors and provided her family access to benefits, services, and complete financial assistance.”
When it was said that Trump had called Guillen a “fucking Mexican,” Patel replied:
“Of course, President Trump didn’t say that. President Trump ensured that this victim received full military honors.”
Alex Pfieffer, a campaign aide for Trump, said in a statement:
“President Donald Trump never said that. This is an outrageous lie from the Atlantic two weeks before the election.”
Now, watch Kamala go out and repeat these obvious lies. That’s what the Atlantic was trying to do. To give Kamala Harris, who will destroy our military if elected, a talking point to trash Trump, even at the expense of a grieving family.
The people at The Atlantic are sick. The sister, and everyone who was there, has come out and set the record straight. Donald Trump never said the things that the leftist rag's @JeffreyGoldberg lied about. To exploit a dead soldier this way for politics is beneath contempt.
