Donald Trump said his nephew’s disabled son should be left to die!

MayBee70

From what I’ve read about Trump he has a fear and loathing of any kind of disability .

Sounds like someone else in 1930s!

Indeed and fans of Farage who looks to Trump for his policies should think carefully about what they wish for. Reform (and some Tory MPs) would like to take the UK out of the European Convention on Human Rights.

Those rights are incorporated into UK law through the Human Rights Act, including the right to life, freedom from torture, freedom of expression, right to a fair trial, respect for private life, freedom of religion, and protection from discrimination; essentially guaranteeing fundamental civil and political rights that can be enforced through the ECHR if violated by the UK government.

We should never forget that the UK was a founder signatory to the ECHR in 1951, drafted in the aftermath of the Second World War and the Holocaust in an attempt to protect the people from the State, to make sure the atrocities committed then would never be repeated.

Now that the USA has elected a fascist dictator as President who is aided and abetted by a fascist tech billionaire, people in the UK should hold very tightly onto the rights they have under the ECHR and never, ever vote for politicians who would remove those rights.



Source?

Trump subscribes to the ‘might is right’ school of behaviour, like all bullies; therefore, he clearly sees vulnerable people as ‘lesser beings’.

And yet, as you say J52, there are people on here who applaud him and want the UK to have a leader like him. Unbelievable!

Despicable indeed!! and very dangerous.

And yet there are people who admire him, some on here suggesting that the UK should have such a man as him for PM!
He is despicable.

Trump is a truly vile man who displays all the attributes of a fascist dictator. There really are no redeeming qualities.
I think the millions who voted for him latched onto certain policies that they felt strongly about i.e. deporting illegals immigrants, without realising that many of the other policies he is now putting into practise will harm them far more, as well as millions of others around the world.

Not good and I have to admit that it does remind me of a person who rose to prominence in the 1930s So does the assisted ( coersive?) dying bill, I think it is very,very dangerous.

Yes lizziedrip I’d heard that about Trump in his first incarnation.

The man is a grotesque.

You are joking, right ?!
He is creating a chaos that is a disgrace and he has a long history of callousness .

Fred Trump III says he shouldn’t have been surprised [about the comments about his son], since he had heard his uncle say something similar in an Oval Office meeting in 2020 with doctors and advocates for disabled rights.

“‘Those people’ Donald said, ‘The shape they’re in, all the expenses, maybe those kinds of people should just die.’”

The number of regretful MAGA voters on Social media increases every day. The consequences of this is already affecting them. Some examples:

I'd be interested to know if all the people who voted for him are of the same mind now with all the things he has or is going to propose.

B b but, he was a much better candidate than Harris, wasn’t he?

Heartless and despicable. Like Galaxy I don't think people with disabilities are valued by authorities (and many people) of any side or persuasion.

Trumps attitude was not a lot different to the medical professional who said that if the suspicion of spina bifida was confirmed in my pregnancy I owed it to my other children and society to abort. I didn't, the baby was perfect!

Yes petra but I still found it hard to believe that even he would be so heartless about his great nephew.

Clearly I was wrong

I’m not a supporter of Trump at all - I just thought he might have a speck of humanity.

Again - wrong!

I wonder how he'd feel if it was his child or grandchild?

I must admit when I heard the comment that Trump made about William, I thought ‘surely not’. I’m ever the optimist (or naive)🙈

So, I googled it and, yes, there’s a lot of information about it online. I hadn’t heard about it before.

It just makes me feel so sad that a man like this has immense power over the lives of millions of people.

You have seen and listened to Trump, haven't you 🤷‍♀️

I’m not in the least surprised.

Last word (see post above) should be un supportable.

That’s a shocking thing to say.
I think Galaxy makes a good point.

Hi folks, I'm new on here.
I would go for Sociopath rather than Psychopath. Sociopaths have little or no understanding of other people's feelings and the most important person in their world is themself. I heard about Trump's nephew when he was President before and Trump's view of him didn't surprise me. Sociopath's use people. They don't have friends, they have useful contacts. I speak from experience! I think they are born like it.

....someone in 1933 with a bad tash had the same view. So not surprised.
