1. Calling for $$ to be thrown at the issue (which will never happen) does not cover your ignorance nor eugenecist attitude

His horrendous, contemptuous attitude toward autistic children and adults--his willful ignorance and near eugenics-level approach to people with conditions, illnesses, and disabilities shock the damned hell out of me. Especially so, given the late Eunice Shriver Kennedy's work for disabled people with Special Olympics.

But, I'm guessing a bigger influence (beyond his neurocysticercosis- and methyl mercury-addled brain ideology) is Trump's own sadistic attitudes-- completely evidenced by the story of his attempts to cut off agreed-upon medical care from a Trump Sr. Trust set up for the son of Donald's nephew--who is severely disabled since birth and nonverbal. This is the now 25-year-old son of Fred Trump III (Mary's brother).

How many steps from where we are now to the NAZI medical approach, including "ridding" society of the sick and disabled and experimenting on others involuntarily...?

And no, for those who think I engage in hyperbole, I do not believe he is serious about $$ help to families of autistic children. Someone has pointed out how horrific his earlier ignorant comments (perhaps even his own wife) and he's flailingly trying to respond. Under Trump, unless RFK Jr is truly a nonthinking mass of protoplasm, he HAS to know that these kids will not even get educational assistance, given the destruction of the Department of Education and its aid to such children. Nor will they get the medical care they (and other children) will need.

I think his ignorance either promotes or will passively allow for an eugenic approach to those with disabilities. And THAT truly IS a Nazi approach. He will do NOTHING to combat the Stephen Millers and other actively psychopathic figures in the administration, but rather enable them, actively or passively, through his ignorance.

May the families of these children and all others who CARE, be aware, wary, and active against these monsters. Do not believe their pandering comments. Believe what they say when the heat is NOT on them--and what they have already shown they are willing to DO!
