First he mocks stutterers. Next he mocks people with limited usage of their arms. Now, he is using the R-word. How low can you go?
Apparently, Trump throws around that word a lot, and even called Sessions “mentally retarded”.
Shameful just shameful. He should treat his employees with a little more respect. We know he ridicules them. This White House is a complete mess.
BTW - I can’t wait to hear the defense of this from Trumpsters. Let me guess, the names Obama and Hillary will be mentioned.
But…But…But…Hillary and Benghazi!!!
But…But…But…Obama ate dog!!!
I actually say retarded as a pejorative fairly often but on the other hand I admit it I do.
Are you between the ages of 28-40?
I’m pretty sure our demographic will be senile, ■■■■■■■■ ourselves in a home somewhere and still calling each other gay and retarded.
Hit the nail on the head.
My GF’s sister called me gay the other day and I did a double take. It was the first time someone called me gay since middle school. It was almost like if someone called me a butt head. Never expected to hear it again.
I’d honestly be less offended by Trump if he was the slightest bit clever. He has like half a dozen burns he uses over and over and over. Gotta keep your material fresh.
I’m 45 and these were both highly prevalent pejoratives as a kid but I’ve wiped them out of my vocabulary. Despite myself I crack up when I hear my daughters friends call things “gay” though. Placed correctly it really is just still ■■■■■■■ funny. Like a fart or something.
I have to admit, the gay stuff got old years back. I only use it if I have a really good burn.
The media has been sitting on this for 14 years and we’re just now finding out??
I’ll bet it would have changed at least 70,000 votes combined in PA, WI, MI, FL and OH if only people had known about it before now.
■■■■■■■ media strikes again!
Retarded is a clinical term. Its OK to say it.
Trump isn’t talking like a clinician.
Its OK to use a clinical term in a clinic. Its not OK to use a clinical term as a general pejorative. Its rude, not only to the specific target of the insult, but also to the many people for whom the term is clinically appropriate.
Wow.
Donald Trump is now a clinician and I guess the White House is America’s clinic?
You must not have been around when NascarGirl was still on the board?
She would have set you right regarding the “R” word, by golly.
I miss that gal!
Mental Retardation. Fire Retardant. Brain cells do not progress.
Ok. 
Retarded is a little crude.
I prefer, fool or in extreme cases, idiot.
Idiot used to be the accepted term for retarded people.
Thanks for the memory flash back.
Years ago I worked as a live in Client Supervisor for 6 adult males with varying degrees of mild mental retardation. One evening my assistant and I took the boys to the multiplex tons see some movies. Well unfortunately we were not allowed to tell them which movies to watch, so they all split up, and my assistant went in with our most physically challenged client and I went in with a couple of the others. There was no way the two of us could be in each theater.
When it came time to head home five of the clients came back to the station wagon, but one was missing.
We went home and as we turned the corner on the block where their home was we saw it was crawling with police cars, fire trucks, spectators, but luckily no ambulance. Still it was an “oh ■■■■■ moment.
The missing client, was a HUGE fan of the Emergency! TV series. So much so that half the day he would walk around pretending to hold a radio mic as he pretended to be one of the paramedics from the show.
It so happened he had gotten bored at the movies and decided to head home. Somewhere along the line he had gotten ahold of some matches and had the crazy idea he would set the group homes unattached laundry and work out room on fire.
He waited until the fire was well involved before he called it in so the room was a total loss.
We asked him why had he done that?
He said it was so he could hear the firetruck sirens and see their lights.
Ever since then I can’t hear or read the words “fire retardant” without remembering that client and getting a chuckle.
Idiot used to be an acceptable medical term for the profoundly retarded.
Today it is considered offensive.
But it is in use as a pejorative for people, regardless the persons tested IQ
