The recording, obtained by The Guardian, apparently comes from a private meal Trump held Aug. 10 in Aspen, Colorado. In it, the Republican presidential nominee reportedly recalled a meeting with the wife of Corey Comperatore, the man who was killed by shots fired at Trump by Thomas Crooks at a Pennsylvania rally in July.

“So they’re going to get millions of dollars but the woman, the wife, this beautiful woman, I handed her the check—we handed her the check—and she said, ‘This is so nice, and I appreciate it, but I’d much rather have my husband.’ Now I know some of the women in this room wouldn’t say the same,” Trump reportedly said. “At least four couples here would have been thrilled, actually.”

I thought it would be worse, but it's still shitty. Gramps Trump uses a widow of his loyal supporter as a set up for his boomer-humor 'wife bad' punchline. I'm not the target audience, but I guess it's hard not to have a blank face after hearing that.

"Wife bad" is his base. They won't care.
