fun and very unlikely true fact: in the 1990s and 2000s, I knew Fred Trump III, because he and I were both regulars at a bar in Manhattan. Freddy is a hell of a nice guy who doesn't deserve having Donny inflicted on him as an uncle.

One slight correction. Trump will soon be a useless ate-er. He has already eaten so much that he can live for three years off body fat. Plenty of biomass left to create a steady stream of farts.

Another correction would be that it was at the beginning, before the war that Hitler started exterminating first the disabled children of Germans, but they were lied to about it, as if they had just died on their own. Then, later when he started killing off the adults in institutions people protested. I was taught that this is what caused him to move most of the death camps out of Germany, so that they would be out of sight and out of mind. So, I think that most of those disabled killed were done early on. It should have been a warning for everyone. Right now, we need to be madly protesting the treatment of people at the Southern Border, because that is basically death camp central with Abbott at the helm, although it looks like the whole Nazi wing of our government aka the Republican Party will be chomping at the bit to show how cruel they can be. Look at SD Governor Noem. https://www.theguardian.com/books/2024/apr/26/trump-kristi-noem-shot-dog-and-goat-book

It WAS a warning for everyone. Many many people tried to stop it. But no one wanted to listen. It didn't help, of course, that if you made enough noise, you were shot. It was debased beyond any kind of belief. And utterly grotesque that now, as the Nazi/GOP literally take the same pages out of the same playbook, once again we are protesting mightily, and EVEN KNOWING EXACTLY WHERE IT LEADS, still no one wants to listen. Let us do everything we can to stop them, -- starting with working to elect VP Harris so she can continue Biden's good works.

Yes! I've watched it! So disturbing. My dad actually escaped Nazi-occupied Prague on the Kindertransport, his mother survived Auschwitz, and like many of my generation, I grew up knowing way too much about all this.

Why are you asking about traveling in the USA? I have and that Commander Crazy Pants has normalized "Hating" anyone that's not perfect is his usual line of maniacal bullshit. He's reprehensible and it's mind blowing that he's again running for President.

The Disabled are NOTHING in comparison to Women's Rights activists and women in general, who have a group of men telling them that they don't have the right to Make Medical decisions over their own bodies. We're pissed and that WILL be reflected at the polls.

Commander Crazy Pants has lost his luster. More and more people are vowing to cast their vote against him in November to show him a humiliating loss yet AGAIN. People are abandoning him in his own party, some have even switched parties,they're done with being disgusted with the Orange Shit Gibbons behavior and comments.

Hoping he'll just slither away and stop torturing this Nation with his venomous, cruel and completely self serving comments. This Country deserves better and he's NOT doing anything unless it somehow benefits him.

I don't think he speaks. The college thing is another lie, probably. Mom will stay close to him as long as she lives. They will continue to lie about him. Look at the good they could have done with raising awareness and money for autism (if that's what's wrong with him). Rather than her Be Best (utter BS), she could have been the face of cognitive disabilities. This whole family is just gross.
