Team Trump Targets Disabled Adults

Tuesday, April 28, 2026

The likely SSI cut will affect not just younger adults with disabilities such as Down syndrome and severe autism who are still living at home with their low-income parents, but also older people with health or financial problems who have had to move in with their adult children on tight budgets.

"as many as 400,000 poor and disabled people and indigent older people across the United States could have their support cut or eliminated"

This is what I voted for.

Rejoice, say I, MAGAJeebus, and be goddamn exceeding glad: take the long view, see the Big Pitcha that yuuuge is your reward in Heaven. That's because short-term by the time Me and Mine are done with you, well, if you still have a bit of sheet left on a single shingle we will take that, too. Blessed be the name of MAGAJeebus. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Take from the poor to pay for the tax cuts that enrich the billionaire ruling class. Day in, day out, Trump and his gang are going about their work, of ruining the lives of poor Americans.

Well, Hitler's folks did too, so why not? Next, the Roma, and then, of course the US version of The Final Solution. Remember: better and more humane to kill them quickly than to let them starve...

And if you ask these people who need these benefits and assistance who they voted for? Most voted for Trump,
I am empathetic and compassionate, I feel for your suffering and your hardship, I pray for all of us,
But EVERYONE tried to warn what would happen and they wouldn't listen, They FA and now we are all FO
