I think people with disabilities are going to see the "clock turned back" as regards work opportunities, benefits, and attitudes.

I wish I could say I was shocked or surprised by this comment. It is quite clear that Trump is either a psychopath or sociopath, it doesn't really matter which, and a narcissist, so the idea that he would react any other way than the way he did is supportable.

A typical psychopath trait: lack of empathy.
Not all psychopaths are mad axe killers. A high percentage work in finance.

He has absolutely no empathy.

He has shut down food help and medical care for Seniors and low income and plans an ethic cleansing in GAZA. A disabled family member is of no consequence to him.

He is, in my opinion, a psychopath.

Unbelievable shock.

Well that sounds awful but it is pretty much what I think will happen with the assisted dying bill. I personally dont think either side gives much care to those with disabilities.

Today I listened to an interview with Donald Trump’s nephew, Fred Trump 111.

Fred gave an in depth insight into his uncle’s psyche - which is chilling! He said, in his experience, Donald isn’t able to show any empathy.

Fred has a son who was born with a genetic abnormality and, as a result, has severe physical and cognitive impairment. His name is William; he’s now 25.

Donald Trump has never met William. He has said to Fred, “why don’t you just let him die and you move down to Florida”.

Thoughts?

My thoughts are … sickening!
