GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office.

When Trump spews ableist crap he’s crapping on at least 28.7% adults in the U.S. with reported disabilities.
All of us will experience disability in our lives.
Trump is threatening your right to work and live.
