[kpete]

@Paralympics
Record numbers around the world are not finding @Paralympics tough to watch. Billions of viewers now take in the Paralympics in hundreds of countries around the world. We hope the US President continues to watch and be inspired by the Paralympics.

1. Paralympics

are such a joyous thing to watch. People not letting what ever disability they have stop them from participating and achieving.
It brings tears to the eyes.
What kind of loathsome half-human finds it tough to watch?

4. I love watching sled hockey as much as I do skating hockey.

It's fun to watch, not "tough." You can tell the players are having a blast, too.

2. I'm sure dumb ass RUMP feels the same way about the special olympics too. nt

3. I have little doubt he feels the same way about the standard Olympics, too.

If there's nobody spewing hate, and if he can't grub money out of it, he wants no part of it. I'm sure he was horrified by Gus Kenworthy and Adam Rippon, among others, for refusing to stay in the closet, along with commentator, Johnny Weir.

5. What you'd expect from a 'president' who made fun of a disabled reporter...a genuine asshole

7. Exactly!

6. So beautiful. nt

8. As usual, what the president actually said was vague and rambling...

...not revealing his feelings on the subject. He might have been trying to pay a compliment, for all we know, but he's not good at relating to Terrans.

9. A sociopath can't relate their feelings about anything

because they have none. We all know his thoughts are less than vacuous, so I guess thats confirmation that Chump is nothing more than an empty anachronistic caricature.

10. At his recent Warriors appearance, Jerk 45 said, of an amputee veteran,

..."he's a really good golfer. How do you think that makes me feel?"
