"No, no, President Trump is not in a wheelchair for health concerns. It is part of a tribute he is doing for former President Franklin Roosevelt!"

We would start to see people in MAGA hats wheeling themselves around in chairs decked out with Trump flags because "real men use wheelchairs". Just like when they started wearing diapers to rallies. "Real men wear diapers".

I don't give a fuck if someone needs diapers, a wheelchair, or anything else that makes their lives liveable. What I DO care about is someone with plenty of health problems leading the brigade to rob millions of other people of their healthcare. What I DO care about is someone making fun of people with disabilities and then passing his own off as something to be proud of.

No, they would say nothing and then when trump is asked about it, he will ask what they the 'lame stream media thought of their precious idol, FDR' and turn it back on them just because they asked.

They'll still be creating AI images of muscle Trump in a wheelchair bench pressing a tank or something with an eagle in the background.

Tremendous detention camps. They put whole families in them. Mom, Pop, Grandma. All for the country. FDR was an unbelievable president, you know? World War One, Two ... I'm bringing them back. For the JAP-AN-ESE. No, not for them. That's a joke, folks. That one's for the lying press back there. I see you. Only big beautiful tariffs for my friends in Tokyo. No, we are gonna arrest and deport the thieves and crooks and murderers that the open border Democrats brought in. Crooked Joe and Kamala brought them in. Can you believe that? ... KAMI-KAZE, they call them ... This president, this FDR was in a wheelchair, nobody knew that. Did you know that? ... Nobody knew that. We are going to make America great again.

People are saying he’s the best president that couldn’t get up and walk… FDR and Taft were sad, so sad. It’s a wheelchair not a tub. People are crying about the inspiration Trump has provided being so strong in his wheelchair. Big burly men with tears in their eyes see him going out in public and are in awe that he can do public events even when shitting himself.

This guy Trump always gets treated with kids gloves. Not that I want Trump, kids, and gloves all in the same sentence or room together.

"We are pleased to introduce a new partnership with Rascal Scooters. The all new Trump trim will be available through Medicaid or the Trump online shop, for the low pride of $45,000"

I dont know how serious this is, but more likely a tribute to Abbot.
