Washington D.C. - During the coronavirus pandemic, Donald Trump is said to have made derogatory comments about people with disabilities. At least that is what his nephew Fred Trump claims in his book "All in the Family: The Trumps and How We Got This Way". Here, Fred Trump describes how the former president allegedly joked about people with disabilities at a private meeting: It would be better if they died to keep costs for caregivers down. Trump makes condescending remarks about people with disabilities After the meeting, Trump is said to have brought his nephew back to the Oval Office and said to him: "These people... the condition they're in, all the expenses, maybe these people should just die," Fred Trump quotes the president as saying in his book. Trump is known for not mincing his words. In another example from the book, Trump made derogatory comments about African Americans in the 1970s and insulted them with the N-word. Political rhetoric has also changed since Trump's 2016 presidential campaign. Even then, Trump had repeatedly crossed boundaries and shifted the barriers of political norms. Trump will go down in American history as the first former president to be legally convicted as a criminal. Trump is pushing the boundaries of political speech ahead of the 2024 US election Trump has repeatedly called for his political opponents to be locked up, and the 78-year-old often describes his election campaign against President Joe Biden as the "final battle." Trump is "retribution," a "warrior" for his supporters and their "justice," as CNN writes, quoting the ex-president.
