The Paralympic Games organization slammed President Donald Trump Saturday morning after he called the games “tough to watch” on Friday.
Record numbers around the world are not finding @Paralympics tough to watch. Billions of viewers now take in the Paralympics in hundreds of countries around the world. We hope the US President continues to watch and be inspired by the Paralympics. https://t.co/3jhr5Fd8tT

At a photo-op for Olympic and Paralympic athletes Friday evening, Trump seemingly deviated from his prepared remarks. “What happened with the Paralympics was so incredible and so inspiring to me,” he said. “And I watched—it’s a little tough to watch too much, but I watched as much as I could.”
Some are criticizing the President for his remarks, while others have rushed to his defense, claiming that he meant that he lacks time to watch television.
Grand Master of the fox pass.
Says the man who’s every action is tough to watch.
Totally not mocking the disabled. He’d never do that. Much too kind and gracious…

Amazing, isn’t it, how often The Trumpudlians have to explain that Trump didn’t mean what he said?
Besides, we already know what Trump thinks of persons facing physical and developmental challenges.
