Trump on autism

Wordsmith

The Guardian is reporting that Trump has just teased that he will be making an important announcement on autism tomorrow (quite how this was relevant in the middle of a eulogy for Charlie Kirk is not clear but that’s the Great Orange Blimp for you). Looks like we can expect mums taking paracetamol during pregnancy to be blamed and folinic acid to be touted as a cure.

  • Wow I thought Kier Strarmer was bad. But he’s nothing compared to trump. Why can’t people just respect others and just accept that we are all different. It’s not as if we were all made via a genesis chamber. Though I think I’d rather have general zod as a ruler compared to trump. I will be asking my mum how many times she took paracetamol 26 years ago. All I know is I was born early due to her complications but that’s why I was born early because she needed medication. Is being born earlier than due date a cause of autism or adhd?

    I think Starmer has ***ed up a number of initiatives and decisions but is not intrinsically an evil person. I think that Trump is  intrinsically stupid, mendacious, immoral and manipulative and I think that stacks up to being downright evil.

    I agree. I get angry at him frequently, but from all possible worlds, he is far from the worst. 

    I think we should aim for incremental improvements and not for random guess that maybe the opposite is great (looking at you US.)

    The most positive for me so far is a measurable improvement in the NHS and the recognition of Palestine. 

    But trans rights and care for the disabled and elderly are still too bad I think.

    But we could have pro genoc*de and pro-defunding NHS. In fact, that is at the doorstep.

    I agree with the NHS and Palestine. But as you say there does need to be more recognition for trans rights and elderly. I do think care homes need to be more “caring” as I’ve heard a lot of bad stories from those places and watching the episode of one foot in the grave doesn’t help. There again whenever my mum has been to hospitals there have been very elderly people she has said that they are being cared for very well but they just can’t seem to move and seem to have lost all functions and have no quality of life due to their physical conditions. I do think the NHS should invest into mental health more though and I do hope the nurses and drs stop going on strike for better pay, I mean don’t they get enough as it is?
