I am an amputee & everyone I know would rather look at me than at that festering boil.

[Danmel]

The disability community needs to speak out. How dare he say of men and woman who have lost pieces of themselves protecting his sorry ass that no one "wants to see that?"
He is an abomination.

6. So would I.

7. That was one of his most disgusting comments, among many.

WTF is wrong with him?

[thucythucy]

8. My brother was an amputee.

He stepped on a landmine in Vietnam.

And I've been involved with the disability rights movement since the 1980s.

We already knew he loathed people with disabilities. That he loathes veterans with disabilities comes as no surprise.

Words can't express my contempt for that man and all he stands for.

"Abomination" is right.

9. He didn't want Braille buttons in Trump Tower elevators

because he wasn't going to rent to blind people!

[MizLibby]

11. I forgot that

it makes me hate him even more.

[eppur_se_muova]

21. :wow: Hadn't heard that ! Incredible. nt

10. He never had a soul to lose, did he?

[c-rational]

12. K&R, Completely agree.

[SCantiGOP]

13. It's almost like a sick joke

A week ago, what would have been the worst thing you could imagine a President saying?
How about: I don’t want any wounded warriors in my parades. It might make me look bad. Oh, and I love the military.

Somehow they didn’t hear him say “grab her by the pussy.” I think this will be different.

14. There's only one thing I can't stand to look at....

and it lives at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue (when it's not at one of it's golf courses, fleecing the American taxpayer). I agree with you 100% Danmel.

15. I recall that he said something nasty and snide about the Paralympics, too.

I think it was to the effect that it was "hard to watch."

[cyclonefence]

17. watch the video--it's short

I'm not sure he was aware that the people around him were paralympians.

[raging moderate]

16. Exactly right!

Trump is profoundly disabled in the only way that really matters.

[iluvtennis]

18. He's an abomination - spot on! nt

[duhneece]

19. My late husband lost both legs at Chu Lai

I’m livid.

[RockRaven]

20. The disability community has long known who Trump is. Certainly long before Nov 2016.

The Braille/ADA and Trump Tower/other building stuff, that's been known for decades.

The reporter with CP he mocked during the campaign.

Never mind his Paralympic comment shit, which happened after he was POTUS.

This is no surprise. No surprise at all. Fuck this guy.

[okaawhatever]

22. People would rather look at you, talk to you, and

Probably vote for you. Trump is delusional.

23. When I heard about what Benedict Donald said, it reminded me

of when I was very young, in D.C. where there were a lot of veteran amputees from World War II and the Korean conflict, and how I was loathe to look at the arm stumps and dangling pant legs, almost scared to look, but I soon outgrew that. That memory made me think that we have yet another reason to believe that emotionally and psychologically, Donald is still a five-year-old.

25. You are a decent person

He is not a child he is an asshole
