I can very much relate to this. I coached Special Olympics for 20 years, and even though I was our most experienced volleyball coach I insisted on being the head coach for our level D team which was mostly Downs Syndrome kids and adults. They were delightful, and my all-time favorite team to coach (even though we were not supposed to have favorites...).

I got into Special Olympics through my older brother who was Downs Syndrome, he was the most emotionally healthy person I have ever met.

I agree with your perspective on no one is lesser. But I'm surprised you used this writing to judge Trump. You can't compare the two because they are from very different places that we may not understand. Any leader who fought against the swamp every day for 4 years and never gave up is never on a lesser level even if he didn't paint a pretty picture with words. He accomplished many things that MSM never told us,πŸ’œπŸ™πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡²
