   I would imagine a President needs to select people that understand many different government and policy areas and be able to evaluate a person’s abilities. I would imagine they need compassion and ethics. They don’t need to remember the name of their doctor during a high stakes public appearance, as funny or ironic as that may be.

   I won’t be voting for Trump. Not because he is or isn’t disabled, but because he is unethical and cruel.

   Your disabled friends are watching how you talk about this.

     Seeing the idea that someone should not have a leadership job if they don’t score well on a cognitive test being promoted angers me. (Re Trump/Biden)

     I have trouble with several cognitive test items (remembering sequences, words lists in particular). This is not new for me. I am disabled.

     Yet I have a 4.0 GPA and over 25 US patents. I should not be discarded from doing certain jobs if I can do them well, albeit perhaps with accommodations and my own techniques.
