Wat?

Wanting someone with disastrous mental health issues to not be capable of launching a nuclear strike isn’t ableism.

Would you loan a gun to a friend who’s been really depressed lately? According to you, you should.

Oh, I forgot that Truman, the only person in history to actually use nuclear weapons, famously only did so because he had depression. Or he was a perfectly mentally well person who was also a racist to the extent that he didn't care about the lives of Japanese children. One of those. I always get it confused.

Anyway, the answer to who I would loan a gun to and who should be capable of launching a nuclear strike is the same: no one. But I would trust your averaged depressed person with the nuclear codes more than I would Trump. To be clear: if Trump has a mental illness, that is not the thing that is wrong with him. What's wrong with him is that he's a fascist.
