The problem is not that he's mentally and physically impaired - no one is saying there's anything wrong with that. It happens to a lot of people. But someone in as bad a shape as he is should not be in his job. Moreover, he's lying about it and has his government doctors lie about it and cover up the truth.

And I don't think any disabled person is going to be judged or denied opportunities because people call out Trump's physical and mental unfitness to be president of the United States.
