@jessi1978 -- The rumor in NYC is that Melania and trump's son is disabled. Maybe on the spectrum, maybe something else. He was enrolled in a private school on the West Side, which isn't where rich people send their kids (they send them to East Side schools). The rumor was that he needed his own para-professional with him at all times. Who knows if this is true, and even if it is the child deserves privacy, and his parents shouldn't be pushed to talk about it if they don't want to, but if it is true you would think it would make them more sensitive to the needs of the disabled.
@lynnventura
That would make sense because if you watch what Trump insults people about, it's always projection in some form
I honestly believe T. is ashamed of his son. His narcissistic, pine-nut sized brain can't comprehend that he, the ultimate alpha male, the one man on earth that all others envy and all women crave, fathered a child that has a disability.
The wooden wife sure is quick to threaten anyone who dares suggest that her kid has autism. She is not, nor is any parent whose child has a condition, under any obligation to use that child/condition to promote awareness, but as far as I'm concerned, her outrage is hypocritical as hell. I hate it when the media portrays her as a fierce lioness protecting her cub. Her cub isn't the only one that matters. It wouldn't surprise me at all if she has been told that she is not to let it get out that he has a condition because it would damage the family image.
He's made it crystal clear how he and his minions view disabled people.

ive been remembering that prediction about Barr, too. It came through a meditation in September I think, but with all the breaking news about the DOJ, judges and federal prosecutors reacting against Barr’s actions, well I wonder how this will play out.
Are you (or anyone) getting a sense that BillyB will quit? That's been popping up for me since the weekend. I can't tell whether it's intuition or wishful thinking.
Yes I do see him quiting...I also expressed that yesterday that I woke up feeling elated because I saw him quitting as I woke up. :)
@deetoo. I haven’t picked up Barr’s resignation yet, but I do sense his underlying fear. Despite Barr’s arrogance, he has never faced this kind of real time public scrutiny of his behind the scenes machinations. Despite his claim that he doesn’t care about his legacy, he does care. The fact that there’s rebellion in the ranks at the DOJ, that judges are having an emergency meeting regarding his misconduct and that four prosecutors have resigned in protest over his interference-all these events expose him as never before. I don’t know about you, but I’m liking it. Momentous week.
@triciact, that's right -- you did mention about Barr resigning. Sorry about that! Duh ... I blame in all on my post-menopausal brain. (One of the great things about aging is you can blame any missteps on aging -- whether it's true or not.)
@bluebelle, I also sense BB's fear. And I'm really liking it too. I'm also seeing more current DOJ officials quitting, unless BB is gone before then.
ha no apology needed. I can't remember things I told my husband just yesterday. He reminded me of something I told him yesterday and said "you already told me that yesterday". Geez I'm becoming my parents and grandparents more and more LOL
With Barr, I get the impression that he thought that he could use this situation to get his (extremist) agenda pushed through. However, he was arrogant enough to think that he could just swoop in and do what he wanted - similar to what he got away with last time. He did not take into account the difference in the times. The internet, social media and just the constant attention of the media have made for a different world. I always figured he would do this job as long as he can get away with what he wants to do and placate his boss in the meantime. I figure the next month will be pivotal in this and his decision about whether or not to call it quits and retire for “health reasons”. I’m sure though that he isn’t willing to go to jail for his boss.
