"Even at the height of his power, Trump can’t resist being an insecure businessman who whines about losing a construction contract more than 20 years ago.
And that wasn’t the most cringeworthy part of Trump’s performance at the UN."
Unhinged and embarrassing. Trump at UN.

Autism is no more a superpower than "not being autistic" is a superpower. Listen to yourselves, and stop being ableist.
None of us have fucking superpowers. We are all just regular people. Unfortunately colonialism convinced most folks that being autistic was bad, so now people are overcorrecting with the superpower shit.
Positive stigma... is still stigma. Asians aren't better at math, either. Please fuck off with this shit forever. Hugs and kisses
