The Trump administration argues that providing real-time American Sign Language interpretation for events like White House press briefings would intrude on the president’s control over his public image.

Is it intruded on his ability to control his image of appearing to be a jerk to handicapped people?

    THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT?

    the right wing just doesn’t want minorities to have anything good. It isn’t that they think being inclusive somehow impedes on their rights, they just think inclusion is bad on principle

      That’s the heart of the meaning of MAGA - to take the USA back to days where there was no inclusivity or accessibility at all. The entire phrase Make America Great Again implies that things used to be great (before inclusivity and accessibility) and so they want to wind back the clock on everything. Civil rights; human rights; inclusivity; accessibility - all of these things and many more have been blamed for the state that the USA is in by politicians and talking heads to distract from the fact that it’s neoliberalism, kleptocracy and crony capitalism that have hollowed the country into an economic husk.
