Watch: Trump Fumbles Repeatedly in Terrifying Speech at Florida Rally

“We will institute the powerful death penalty for drug dealers, where each dealer is responsible for the death, during their lives, of 500 people or more,” he said.

"Mothers will never again be forced to watch their children overdosing in hosp … and we will never allow mothers to watch their child hopelessly dying in their arms screaming, ‘What can I do, what can I do? Help me God, what can I do?’ We are a nation whose once revered airports are a dirty, crowded mess,” Trump continued, pivoting suddenly.

“You sit and wait for hours and then are notified that the plane won’t leave, that they have no idea when they will. Where ticket prices have tripled. They don’t have the pilots to fly the planes, they don’t seek qualified air traffic controllers, and they just don’t know what the hell they are doing.”

“We will take over the horribly run capital of our nation in Washington, D.C., and clean it up, renovate it, and rebuild our capital city, so that it is no longer a nightmare of murder and crime. But rather it will become the most beautiful capital anywhere in the world,” Trump said.

“Right now, if you leave Florida, ‘Oh, let’s go, darling, let’s look at the Jefferson Memorial, let’s look at the Washington Monument, let’s go and look at some of the beautiful scenes,’ and you end up getting shot, mugged, raped,” he warned, promising that he’d run the city “tough and smart.”

    • Work is inherently ableist. There are many many medical conditions that would stop someone from being an effective president, including dementia and aphasias. You could say it's ableist to allow a person who can't consent (not being in their right mind), to do as dangerous of a job and as taxing of a job as president.

      And being able to communicate is pretty critical lol, regardless if you agree or not. A speech impediment is fine if it doesn't impact communication, but yes it's an issue if you can't understand them at all, unless they could perhaps sign (as in sign language). Communication isn't about speaking perfectly, it's about understanding your thoughts and getting others to see your point of view. Biden is not able to do either as he's switching names entirely, eg VP Trump and President Putin snafus.

      • You could say it’s ableist to allow a person who can’t consent (not being in their right mind), to do as dangerous of a job and as taxing of a job as president.

        That's not what ableism is about, though. A person who can't consent is a person with a disability, sure. But not everyone with a disability is at a disadvantage. If Biden was in a wheelchair, and people said that he shouldn't be president because he can't walk, that's ableism. Biden has a speech impediment, and yet, he can think clearly. If you say that because "he can't talk good" then he can't be a president, then yes, that's ableism.

        President Putin snaffu

        I'll give you the "Trump" example, but I don't like the "Putin" example, because he was quick to correct himself.

        • That is 100% what ableism is about. Or do you think it's okay to let mentally handicapped people be first line soldiers in war? Should Forrest Gump have fought in Vietnam? Is it not specifically taking advantage of their cognitive disability to have them perform a dangerous job they can't fully understand?

          One of the most abused groups are the disabled, particularly if they cannot communicate well. Making sure people with cognitive decline can actually consent and aren't being taken advantage of is so important, we have special jobs called bioethicists who consult with hospitals about this. It's exactly what ableism is about.

          I have no problem if Biden was in a wheelchair. You don't need to walk to be president. It doesn't interfere with his ability to consent. It doesn't interfere with his ability to communicate. Both are essential for the job.

          Also I can tell you aren't disabled and don't know anyone who is disabled. Because if you k ew these things, you'd know about reasonable accomodation which already covers this topic. If your disability fully stops you from doing the job, legally you can be fired and it's not considered ableism. I highly recommend you read the various cases and reasonable accomodations workplaces implement. It will help you better understand why you're so blatantly incorrect on multiple fronts.

          But the problem here isn't a stutter, IT'S APHASIA. That's significantly worse, and he's gotten NOTICABLY WORSE over time. It's honestly a shocking level of decline in a person who can declare war and has the nuclear football. I would not allow my grandma to drive if she was having that many absent moments and aphasia issues because it implies she has brain damage. It's not that he cannot SPEAK, it's that he cannot COMMUNICATE because he has SEVERE COGNITIVE ISSUES he can no longer hide!!! That's how bad they are!!! It would be totally fine if all he has was a stutter. That's not what he has.

          He also didn't fully correct himself - he never stated Zelensky's name. He appeared to have forgotten it. And he's met Zelensky more than once.

          Eta: I take that last paragraph back, he does say Zelensky's name
