This is, probably, one of the most horrific things I've seen said on Fox News. He doesn't say it as a joke, nor winded up, no dogwhistle and everybody around him calmly agrees with no outrage.

1. If Trump runs out of immigrants to persecute, I suspect the next target for his performative sadism will be people with disabilities. Already, without a shred of evidence, he has blamed the air crash on disabled air traffic controllers, with horrible, stereotyping slurs about their disabilities.🧵
