Donald Trump Called Deaf ‘Apprentice’ Marlee Matlin ‘Retarded’

50. When I saw this one last night, it affected me powerfully

The many assault survivors coming forward have each made me further disgusted and sickened by Trump (which, it goes without saying by this time, takes some doing). We hear often of this sort of sexual assailant, though, although clearly most aren't as well known as he is.

It's another and I think rarer sort of sociopathy that leads even the most minimally functional adult to mock physical handicaps, even imputing mental deficiency to her.

When I read this one, I didn't even try to read it aloud to my wife, because I was too choked up. I just had to hand it to her and let her read it with horror herself.

There's a clear irony, too, because I'd be surprised if any of us here doubt that Ms. Matlin is a hundred times the person he is.

How is it possible that someone millions of people would still vote for as president is the worst human being so many of us even know of?
