Trump suggested people with disabilities ‘should just die,’ nephew reveals in memoir
4 hours ago
During a private meeting at the outset of the Covid-19 pandemic, then-president Donald Trump reportedly mused aloud about whether people with disabilities would be better off dead instead of causing more expenses for their caregivers.
The shocking remark is included in a new book, All in the Family: The Trumps and How We Got This Way, by the former president’s nephew, Fred Trump III, who makes other startling claims about his uncle.
According to an excerpt of the book published by Time, Fred Trump III — the brother of psychologist and author Mary Trump and the eldest son of Donald Trump’s late older brother, Fred Trump Jr. — claims his uncle made the offensive remark during a private meeting in May 2020.
Fred Trump III writes that he, then-President Trump, then-Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar and White House Covid Task Force member Dr. Brett Giroir, along with other disability rights advocates, spent 45 minutes discussing the needs of people with disabilities at the White House.
It’s a subject he has significant experience with, he writes, because of his son, William Trump, who as an infant was diagnosed with a rare seizure disorder that has caused significant cognitive and physical damage. In the memoir, he reveals that his son was later diagnosed with “KCNQ2 mutation,” which he describes as “a genetic misfire that the doctors called a potassium channel deletion.”

This is absolutely shocking that he would suggest such a thing.
“In the quantum multiverse, every choice, every decision you've ever and never made exists in an unimaginably vast ensemble of parallel universes.”
