7. Trump has a severely disabled nephew who he has tried to rob of the $$ and care laid out in his father's will.

This is the son of Mary Trump's brother, Fred Trump and they have had to fight constantly for his basic care. So, Trump has nothing but contempt (see his comments about appearing with soldiers missing limbs or otherwise severely injured) for those who may have disabilities or serious illnesses.

His attitudes, along with the eugenics-promoting members of his own MAGAT movement and administration, are no better than Hitler's ilk. They just aren't at the public discussion of intentional harm or worse, "removal." But for those still arguing the political strategies we should adopt from the LAST election--this could well be on the horizon. Trump believes himself to be the consequence-unencumbered dictator he claimed he would be and which Robert's SCOTUS has promised him.

As hysterical as this sounds, reading it back, we can't afford to assume the BEST when he openly discusses the WORST.
