Donald Trump's Mockery of a Disabled Man is Middle School Crap [View all]
I remember kids mocking people who had crippling disabilities doing exactly the same back in Junior High School. We had a student in my class who had muscular dystrophy. Mean kids would do just what Trump did behind that student's back, and used words like "Spaz" to refer to him.
It pissed me off then, and it still pisses me off. I called out kids who did that then, and I call adults who do it now nothing but insensitive assholes. While juvenile behavior is not unusual in juveniles, it should have been outgrown by an adult. Clearly, Donald Trump is still stuck in middle school pubertal behavior. He never grew out of it.
Maybe none of his peers called him out on his behavior then. Maybe his peers joined in on the "fun." I don't know, but for a President-elect to still be mocking disabled people in public and then lying about what is clear in a video is a sign of a boy in a man's body. Will nobody explain to him that he's still acting like a 13-year-old?
What will he do when he meets the head of the nation of China. Will he make some stupid statement about "ching chong chinamen" to him or about him? Will he pull his eyelids to the side to mock him? Is he going to call Italians "wops?" Will he call Korean and Vietnames people "gooks?"
Donald Trump is a fool and he's likely to create an international incident at any time. Someone needs to give him some straight talk about his juvenile behaviors. It's freaking embarrassing to the entire nation and dangerous, to boot.
