Continuing to preview his new memoir, convicted felon former President Trump’s nephew Fred C Trump III – father to a severely disabled 25 year old son William – writes in Time Magazine that the fat fuck had some very Hitler-ish attitudes towards such people, even his own flesh and blood grandnephew, telling Fred as much in the Oval Office. With then-HHS Secretary Alex Azar in the room with them. After sitting through a 45-minute meeting where Fred advocated for policies for better care for disabled people at which Donald appeared to be receptive, if rambling and stupid.
Picking up the excerpt from where Donald’s assistant called Fred back into the Oval Office:
Your uncle would like to see you,” she said.
Azar was still in the Oval Office when I walked back in. “Hey, pal,” Donald said. “How’s everything going?”
“Good,” I said. “I appreciate your meeting with us.”
“Sure, happy to do it.”
He sounded interested and even concerned. I thought he had been touched by what the doctor and advocates in the meeting had just shared about their journey with their patients and their own family members. But I was wrong.
“Those people . . . ” Donald said, trailing off. “The shape they’re in, all the expenses, maybe those kinds of people should just die.”
I truly did not know what to say. He was talking about expenses. We were talking about human lives. For Donald, I think it really was about the expenses, even though we were there to talk about efficiencies, smarter investments, and human dignity.
I turned and walked away.
The Nazis had a word for this: Lebensunwertes Leben, meaning “life unworthy of life,” the anthem with which they exterminated disabled people. Probably something similar enough in Project 2025.
