Trump Jokes About ‘A Guy He Knows’ Who Hates His Children, ‘They Are Horrible, Horrible Human Beings!’

In rapid succession Monday night, Donald Trump repeated several of his frequent false claims at his rally in New Mexico.

He took credit for the passage of the Veterans Choice health care program, saying, “We got Choice for the vets. Choice. Everybody said it was impossible.”

The program was actually created by a bipartisan bill co-authored by Sens. Bernie Sanders and John McCain and signed into law by former President Barack Obama in 2014.

Trump claimed that China is “eating” his tariffs on imported Chinese goods, though a bevy of studies have found that Americans are bearing the overwhelming majority of the costs.

He claimed that he had eliminated the estate tax, though it remains in existence; his tax law raised the threshold, so the tax applies to fewer people, but did not abolish it.

While discussing the estate tax, Trump said:

If you don’t, like your children, don’t do it, but when it’s your time to kick the bucket, you worked hard, you have great kids, you love your kids they’re taken care of you. You really love them. It’s a great thing! If you don’t love them, don’t even listen to the last line because it won’t matter, don’t leave it to them.

Then he made this claim, about “a guy he knows” who hates his kids”

I know a guy can’t stand his children, they’re horrible horrible human beings, they’re a little older now, but they’re horrible human beings. He wants to leave his wealth. They said. Why would you leave that they don’t even like you, but on the assumption that you love your children, you’ll be able to use small farms and your ranches and things you’ll be able to leave them to your children.

Twitter thinks Trump is referring to his own kids:
