Is it intruded on his ability to control his image of appearing to be a jerk to handicapped people?

    I always thought that Trump was a malignant narcissist imbecile. Turns out it was the sign language services all along.

    I don’t even understand sign language and they’ve even managed to make him sound like a complete moron in his tweets. That’s some serious effect they have here.

    THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT?

    the right wing just doesn’t want minorities to have anything good. It isn’t that they think being inclusive somehow impedes on their rights, they just think inclusion is bad on principle

      Conservatism, contrary to its lifestyle marketing image of “preserving tradition and nationality”, is about preserving hierarchies. Those on top not only have a moral duty to trample on those under them, but also to externalize their tastes and distastes to those below them, including those “weird people making weird hand gesturing in the corner of the TV”.

      That’s the heart of the meaning of MAGA - to take the USA back to days where there was no inclusivity or accessibility at all. The entire phrase Make America Great Again implies that things used to be great (before inclusivity and accessibility) and so they want to wind back the clock on everything. Civil rights; human rights; inclusivity; accessibility - all of these things and many more have been blamed for the state that the USA is in by politicians and talking heads to distract from the fact that it’s neoliberalism, kleptocracy and crony capitalism that have hollowed the country into an economic husk.

    I’d really love it if the next bit of news I hear about Trump is that he is dead, under arrest, or resigning

      I hope that immediately following his death, YouTube, Spotify, and Apple searches for “ding dong the with is dead” and “no one mourns the wicked” skyrocket. Those songs should just immediately start playing on every phone when the news breaks

      The fucked up part is I think his speech would be more coherent as the grammar structure is a lot more fluid in ASL.

      I doubt it’s even possible, you have to change the sentence halfway through 3 times and then it’s just random words.

    Ah yes, disabled people are defective and should be cared for in special facilities for their own protection - lets call them wellness resorts. Also they should be prevented from having children and perpetuating their defective jeans. Also they should have to contribute to their own upkeep doing easy jobs like picking cotton fruit. Also depressed people are defective too soo…

      No you see, forcing them to do work will help them, by making them more independent and eventually, I hear, cure their illnesses. The more they work, the more free their bodies will be! They just gotta work a bit harder, and be a bit more free!

    It’s the kind of twofer GOP strategists fantasize about:

    getting rid of more clear expression of ideas that can’t bear the scrutiny that clarity brings while making life harder for already marginalized people.
