    Someone asked a while back if it’s acceptable to point out Trump’s mental health and dementia and say he’s unfit.

    Is that ableism?

    No.

    Mental health and cognitive health are necessary for presidency. Being in a wheelchair or losing a limb or something has no impact on mental abilities.

      I don’t get why people are downvoting you when you’re right.

      But for being that close to a bomb blast, I’d be worried about things like pain and pain management, particularly migraine disorders and memory loss from the colossal concussion he definitely had.
