I'd call Trump disabled but I think that'd be insulting to disabled people.

If mentally challenged people can't be air traffic controllers, surely they can't be presidents of the United States either. Right?
Cant pass the background check as a felon, but good news, you can straight to the top!
I'd have a hard time calling trump people at this point.
Exactly! Thanks for understanding.
It feels really insulting when people use “disabled” as an insult for Trump.
Same exact reason I don't like calling him or his husband retards.
I'd say homophobia as an insult isn't any better :/
Hasn't he also blamed the control centre being understaffed on immigrants / race (somehow)?
He seems to be claiming it's all the fault of DEI which has got worse with Obama and then Biden. So basically, it's the fault of everyone in the tower who isn't a white male?
A reporter asked him how can you be sure it's DEI before the investigation has really begun? To which he replied, (paraphrasing) “I have common sense which many people don't!”
Another Trump stooge on LBC was telling Ian Dale that there were reports that the helicopter pilot was possibly female with less than 500 hours of experience, and then said other reports are claiming the pilot was trans. Dale cut off the call.
Jesus Christ! It's only week 2?
It makes me glad I have an exit path out of listening to Americans assuming everyone is American
