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!
