16. Physical mobility has nothing to do with whether or not he has a clue.

He doesn't. Full stop.

But stop suggesting people (Trump or anyone else) with physical disabilities are stupid.

I fell yesterday - flat on my face with multiple bruises to prove it. Not unusual - the only thing that is unusual is that I have bruises from it. I fall so often that I have learned to completely relax when I fall so that I don't injure myself - yesterday I was holding something I couldn't spill so relaxing wasn't an option. It has been years since I have been able to answer "no" to the medical visit question, "Have you fallen in the last X months?" - no matter how small X is. I have three degrees, and was top in my class in two of those. I am currently working on a 4th, and about 1/3 of the way in with a 4.0 average. Obviously "having a clue" isn't an issue for me.

FDR, responsible for many of the social net programs we are fighting so hard to save, used a wheelchair.

Ridicule Trump for his ego, his narcissism, his cruelty, his politics, etc. But please stop suggesting physical mobility makes someone better or more capable than those who are less mobile.
