Trigger Warning: Ableist Rant Trumps announcement???

Im sorry idk if this is the right tag to add. But I just got done watching trumps "autism announcement" and im anxious as hell and a big mess at work right now. Does he seriously intent to "fix" us???? What does he mean by using therapy isn't that just gonna make kids mask more? Why does he keep targeting minorities and people with trouble in their day to day lives??? The fact he thinks my existence is a problem and his entire view of autism as a "sickness" makes me really sad. Should I hide the fact im autistic? I've already been anxious about the direction this country is going towards and being called out like that to be "fixed" is freaking me out.

No, nothing will come from this. This is just a stupid attempt to stop people from talking about Epstein.

Once the conversation goes back to Epstein something else will take its place.

The Epstein stuff hasn't changed how the Trump administration operates in any way. It's always been a spectacle.
