The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Fred C. Trump III has written a book that describes president Trump meeting with a group of advocates for individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities. At the meeting, Fred Trump says his uncle “seemed engaged, especially when several people in our group spoke about the heart-wrenching and expensive efforts they’d made to care for their profoundly disabled family members.” he writes.

After the meeting, Fred Trump claims, his uncle pulled him aside and said, “maybe those kinds of people should just die,” given “the shape they’re in, all the expenses.”


Umm.

But that was not the only time president Trump said people with costly disabilities should just be allowed to die.

The remark wasn’t a one-off, according to Fred Trump. A couple of years later, when he called his uncle for help because the medical fund that paid for his son’s care was running out of money, Fred Trump claims his uncle said: “I don’t know. He doesn’t recognize you. Maybe you should just let him die and move down to Florida.”

That, ladies and gentleman, is the republican candidate for the presidency. No wonder he didn't give a rat's @ss about Americans dying by the hundreds of thousands of Covid... he didn't care about his own nephew's child living or dying.

But, ya' know, he's the "Just get over it" candidate the cult just loves.
