The Official President Trump Thread - Second Term Edition

Trump doesn't care about people with disabilities or those who need medical care. He has no empathy or soul. He really disgusts me with his cruelty.

DOJ memo stokes fear among disability advocates of a return to institutionalization

The Justice Department released a memo this week that quietly calls into question decades of civil rights protections for Americans with disabilities and stirred fear and anger among advocates and families.

The memo, an opinion from the Office of Legal Counsel, argues that states do not have to provide in-home or community-based care to people with disabilities who need support. These services allow many disabled Americans to continue to live, learn and work at home or in their own communities, among family and friends.

"As America prepares to celebrate 250 years of independence, [this memo] threatens to drag our nation back to a dark and shameful era of ignorance and cruelty," said the American Association of People with Disabilities. "This interpretation will open the doors for states to revert to warehousing people with disabilities out of sight and out of mind in institutions."

"This opinion is a direct threat to decades of progress toward community living for people with disabilities," said Shira Wakschlag of The Arc of the United States, a nonprofit disability advocacy group. "People with disabilities shouldn't be forced into institutions because a state refuses to provide services in the community."

When Fred Trump III said he asked his uncle Donald Trump for money to help with his disabled son's medical care, he said "I don't know, he doesn't recognize you. Maybe you should just let him die and move down to Florida."

Fred was shocked at the response, and insisted that his son does recognize him.

"To this day, it's still hard to wrap my head around it," he said. "I don't know how one human being could say that about anybody else. Least of all his grandnephew.

Fred's son, William Trump, was born with a genetic mutation that altered his physical and cognitive development. The former president had contributed financially to William's care over the years, but mounting costs forced Fred to ask for more help in a 2020 phone call.
