Paraplegic team socks Trump for insensitive remarks--yes, he's the guy who made fun of disabled/differently abled journalist.
https://www.aol.com/article/news/2018/04/28/paralympic-games-organizers-respond-to-insensitive-trump-remarks/23422716/ People should be careful of making fun of people for health conditions that are not their fault. I once saw an NGO worker on a practice panel who snatched the mike from his disabled colleague, they were supposed to be play-acting for doing a presentation to set up a disabled NGO in Burma and another woman stepped in over the office partition and tried to tell 4 Ph.D.s including me, deliberating over prizes for NGO employees, that one contestant had a "mental disease" which the interferer could not even name properly-- I was so mad I stepped out and told this woman her behavior was totally unacceptable. This non-profit did not invite me back in future years when they "went inside Burma" from Thailand, but it is not something I could have ignored. In any case I have no respect for people who jump the fence and go from being advisors to the Exile Government to being advisors for Thein Sein--that is like working for the Jews to going to "advise" Hitler. kmk 4-28-2018
