Trump's statement to the Paralympic heroes

Never in my entire life observing things political did I ever hear a president say to winners of games for the handicapped that it was "a little hard to watch."  That is a big deal and should be aired on news commentary shows over and over again.  They often play his inane comments that are less than this presidential humongous faux pas.  Shame on that man. A heroic man who knew disability and pain, Senator John McCain, does not want him even at his funeral.  I do not blame Senator McCain after Trump's impugning the Senator's heroic capture by egregiously and insultingly with unmitigated gall dared to say that he "liked heroes who were not captured."  Odd coming from a man who received five deferments during the Vietnam War for bone spurs.  I wonder how the president's bone spurs are now.

I know what it is like to be disabled at a time when it was not as accepting as it is now but even in my day if people thought it was hard to watch they surely never said it.  On the contrary I was heaped with praise when I attempted things that many disabled never would. 
We did not have the Paralympics then but if we did I would have wanted to have been in it.  If I had had the blessing of being so athletically proficient that I was invited to the White House for recognition only to have the President of the United States tell me it was "hard for him to watch" I would have been devastated maybe even hurt for life.

Perhaps, one day Mr. Trump will know what it is like to lose the use of a limb.  I can only hope someone is there to say hey, Donald, you are really hard to watch.  I already say that but not because of a handicap but because he is without a doubt the most disgusting, irreverent, cruel, sickening, vicious, mendacious, unethical excuse for a human being to ever occupy that hallowed office.  Anyone who saw fit to vote for this fool should consider seriously the content of their own character.
May he not see another term in an office he has abused with filth.  I pray our nation survives this intemperate jerk and I surely hope I will survive him as well!
