Fred Trump III Denounces His Uncle Donald Trump for Saying Disabled People "Should Just Die"

@@loveislife8742 actually you don’t know the full story. The comment that was made by Trump, was made at a White House meeting regarding a nationalstrategy for disabled person. They were there to ask the then president to lower healthcare costs for disabled persons. That’s when he made that disgusting comment. Maybe you should have your facts straight before you defend the indefensible. Because this would not be your opinion if you had a disabled child, you wouldn’t have the luxury of constantly defending this abject failure of a man.

As a society, we should try to include people with disabilities more. In architecture, I understand there is "universal design," which strives to make entry ways, restrooms, etc, accessible to all in the same way. Think of how our culture would change with greater societal participation of people with disabilities. We probably would no longer call it "disabilities." We'd have different language for it.

Because of the ‘The Right to Self Determination Laws’ aka by professionals as ‘The Right To Fail’ Europeans say our Healthcare policies are barbaric, exploitative and down right cruel because we expect and have given the right to those that can’t make sound decision to help themselves to say NO to help, so how is that ok. We want to pretend that some who are not capable of caring for themselves can just to make them feel that they’re not disabled. What’s the push here, we’re not disabled, then they don’t need any extra help right? You do realize how many taxes are allocated to a base that is not a net contributor due to there disabilities. We at least need to be logical instead of just being compassionate, otherwise it’s called enabling.
