Excuses, excuses. He is not senile. He talked like this thirty-years ago. This is Trump and who he is.

He is absolutely senile and he spoke like this when he wasn't. The difference now is he is the President.

Uh, OP is being irresponsible with this post. google it. no news here.

Come on guys, if you are going to waste our time at least post current stuff.

It's in Trump's 2025 Thanksgiving message.

Are you a MAGA apologist? It's in your orange god's Thanksgiving message? And it's all over the news and disability groups are denouncing it.

My kid is not personally hurt by this. To be perfectly honest, everyday teen banter is much much worse. They are pretty awful.

No, it’s not okay. No, I’m not excusing it. OP asked what effect this will have on kids with disabilities and as a parent of a HS kid I’m answering that.

Thank you for posting this. Does your kid have ID?

No. I didn’t want to post that because it wasn’t relevant. I happen also to be a special education teacher. I still think you are giving this way too much attention and this will not affect HS students in the slightest. Stop following him, OP, and you won’t see this stuff. And seriously, you should hear what is said in high schools in the classrooms.

Again. It’s not okay nor is a lot of what comes out of the mouth of my students or my own kids. Disability or no disability.

OP here, oh I don't follow him but I saw this covered in many places. Didn't you?

But if you read the whole tweet — start to finish — it really is wise that where he was previously. It’s incoherent. If a coworker sent a message like this, you would be calling HR, they would be out on leave pending a medical clearance and people would be discussing whether a protective order is warranted. It’s absolutely crazy. And anyone pulling out one or two offensive bits from this screed of vitriol and nonsense is undercutting the seriousness of the situation.
I can’t understand how anyone can read that and not get a pit in their stomach.

Agree. The entire message is insane. Is he in his right mind? What is the purpose of posting this? Who does this appeal to?

How would people feel if he used the n word rather than the r word?

He used the r word as an insult. He has been doing it for years. But you know this. Everyone does. Or have you been asleep?

I am not a troll or asleep, I think he used a word properly.

It has been unacceptable to use this term to mean “slow” for decades.

If you don’t know this you are perhaps a little slow yourself. But the more likely scenario is that you do know this and you’re trolling. Either way, GFY.


It was an improper word

Unacceptable according to whom? It has a literal definition of slow. It has been common usage for decades.

Unacceptable to people who aren’t trolling a-holes.

Where do you live and who are you talking to who talks like this? Genuine question. Everyone I know is disgusted by this.

People who use the r-word:
Trump
MAGA trash

This might be his latest comment, but this isn't news. He's been attacking people with disabilities since the first election. The harm that Trump and his supporters have caused is profound.

How people continue to justify his behavior and "MAGA" defies logic.

[Anonymous]

He’s already made fun of disabled people. He’s trash. People who support him are trash. There’s nothing new to discuss.

[Anonymous]

I don’t think anyone should the word and lose respect immediately if I hear someone say it.

What do I think? I think it’s completely in character for him and his character was completely obvious in 2015 when he ran for president. That 77 million people voted for him is the shocking and disappointing part.
