Donald Trump’s nephew, Fred Trump III, writes in his new book that Uncle Donald remarked to him in 2020 during the initial stages of the Covid 19 pandemic, that disabled people “should just die.” This is, alas, consistent with Trump’s offensive mocking of a disabled New York Times reporter at one of his 2015 Nuremberg-style rallies, as well as his order to the Pentagon to keep wounded warriors away from any military parades.
Nothing the criminal candidate says should shock anymore.
This recently revealed despicable statement is also of a piece with Trump’s many disturbing parallels with Adolf Hitler. Please, I don’t want to hear ever again that it is unfair to compare Trump to Hitler–the evidence of his admiration and emulation for the Nazi fiend is too persistent.
Aktion T4 was the Nazi pilot program for the Final Solution, i.e., the Holocaust. In 1939, two years before the Wannsee meeting at which the plan for the annihilation of Europe’s 11 million Jews was finalized, the Nazi regime launched a euthanasia program to deal with mentally and physically disabled Germans, whom Hitler and his henchmen viewed as sub-humans unworthy of life. The idea was to cleanse the “Aryan” race of people considered genetically defective and a financial burden to society. They called individuals with disabilities “useless eaters” and began ripping impaired children away from their parents, placing them in what amounted to prisons where they were murdered, usually by medication overdoses or starvation. In some cases, lethal injection or a bullet to the back of the head did the job.
Aktion T4 began with a decree requiring all physicians, nurses, and midwives to report newborn infants and children under the age of three who showed signs of severe mental or physical disability. Initially, the program included only infants and toddlers. Soon, however, it was expanded to include youths up to 17 years of age. Conservative estimates suggest that at least 10,000 physically and mentally disabled German children perished as a result of the murder program during the war years. The program soon grew to include disabled adults.
Think this could not happen here? Lest it be forgotten, Donald Trump, during his nightmare presidency, tore thousands of children and babies away from their mothers and fathers at the border and incarcerated them in detention centers as part of his “zero tolerance for illegal immigrants” initiative. Today, almost four years after Trump was crushed by Joe Biden in the 2020 election, at least 1,000 children have still not been reunited with their families because the Trump regime neglected to keep careful records of their identities, family relationships, or whereabouts once released from custody.
This is just one of the devastating detritus we are left with from Trump’s chaotic and corrupt time in office. And it is just a hint of what this felon would do if given another shot at power. If you are skeptical of what I am predicting, read Project 2025, the Trump plan for bringing America to heel should he once again steal the presidency as he did in 2016. He can disavow knowledge of this master plan for taking America back to the 19th century all he likes. As usual, he is lying.
Despite being subjected to his unrivalled dishonesty and unmitigated evil for close to a decade, I still find it unbelievable that almost half the country worships Trump and takes as gospel the blatant lies and unhinged rot that spew forth every time he opens his mouth.
People tend to dismiss Trump’s often incoherent ravings as mere “word salad.” This time, however, he has the legion of doom known as the Heritage Foundation stink tank behind him, planning out their decimation of the American democratic system. After slogging my way through the horrors of its Project 2025, I believe it is perfectly plausible that an American Aktion T4 program could be part of their agenda.
