(63,210 posts)No? Then you're every bit as guilty of ableism as you imagine me to be. Why else would you give preference to a surgeon who doesn't suffer from dementia? Do you perhaps subscribe to the mad notion that people must have the ability to perform the job that they're responsible to perform?
"There would have been assumptions made about his capacity to serve as president with a miniscule amount of information - the visible image of a man using a wheelchair."
Trump is in a wheelchair? That's news to me. Please, share a picture.
Of course, perhaps you were making a weak analogy by providing an irrelevant example.
I haven't diagnosed that incompetent idiot fuckhead, either; I've simply observed--correctly--that he increasingly exhibits behaviors consistent with neurological impairment. I am assessing his behavior; I am not offering a diagnosis, beyond noting--again, correctly--that he is dangerously (and perhaps catastrophically) unhinged.
You seem very keen on excusing mental lapses by a man able to start a war an errant tweet. I am less comfortable trusting in his imaginary good health and well-being. I will accept the risk of drawing an incorrect conclusion about his mental state.
But please feel free to continue scolding.
