Madrid, September 29 (Europa Press) –
Former US President and Republican candidate for the White House Donald Trump claimed that his main rival, Vice President and Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, “mentally handicapped”, were born.
“The President Joe Biden is mentally disabled. Kamla was born in a similar way,” Trump said during an expedition program at Prey Du Chion, Visconsin. According to the American press, “He was born that way,” he insisted, drawing laughter from the audience.
“And if you think about it, only a mentally disabled person can allow this to happen in our country. Anyone understands it,” he said, referring to the entry of immigrants, for which Trump Biden and Harris blame the administration.
This Sunday, despite criticism from Democrats and Republican officials, Trump reiterated during an event in Erie, Pennsylvania, that Harris is “mentally disabled.” Trump himself admitted those were “some dark words”.
Maria Town, president of the American Association of People with Disabilities (APD), has criticized Trump’s “supporter” language. According to the US press, he said, “Trump’s supportive comments say more about his wrong and disgusting prejudices towards him and disabled than Vice President Harris or a disabled person.”
“Trump supports false competent beliefs that if a person is disabled, he is less human and is less worthy of respect. AAPD is a call from leaders of both parties to condemn the use of a competent language like Trump for 2024 elections Used,” he appealed.
The town recalled that many Presidents and former President lived or lived with disability, such as Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who overcame polio and had to use wheelchairs; John F. Kennedy, suffering from Addison’s disease, ulcerative colitis and chronic pain; Ronald Reagan and his hearing loss or President Biden himself, who stutters.
He insisted, “It is not enough to determine the presence or absence of disability only to determine how suitable a person is to remain an elected position.”
