Donald Trump Ordered Illegal Removal of Braille Because ‘No Blind People are Going to Live in Trump Tower’: Report

By Jessica Kwong On 9/12/18 at 2:38 PM

President Donald Trump allegedly ordered an architect not to include braille in Trump Tower elevator panels because “no blind people” would live in his building—even after being informed that excluding the tactile writing system is against federal law.

The alleged interaction was recounted by Barbara Res, who led construction at the Trump Organization, in an opinion piece in the New York Daily News on Wednesday.

"What’s this?” Trump, noticing the small raised dots, reportedly asked the architect who went to his office to show what the residential elevator interiors would look like.

“Braille,” the architect responded.

Trump apparently demanded that the architect take the feature out.

“We can’t,” the architect replied. “It’s the law.”

“Get rid of the [expletive] braille. No blind people are going to live in Trump Tower,” Trump shouted, according to Res. “Just do it.”

First of all, I doubt this happened. Second of all, if it did, he wasn’t “PRESIDENT Donald Trump” at the time. Notice that slight of hand.

This smells like...well, you know.
And I’ll bet my suspicions have around a 99.99999999999999999% chance of being correct.

I have a feeling the Republicans are looking at taking 40 house seats and 12 senate seats because the media wouldn’t be working overtime to destroy this man.

This is what winning looks like.

Well, either the Braille is on the elevators or it isn't.

Funny that the article doesn't say.

LOL. You should read Jessica Kwong's Twitter tineline.

She's a good little member of The Resistance against Trump.

Read the article. No one removed the braille but somehow this confirms the Woodward book. Pure bs by a liberal.

I think there are 2 “allegedly” and 1 “apparently” usages just in the first few sentences. My God. If people believe this BS, I’m going to announce to Newsweek I allegedly won the lottery and demand my payout. I shall then announce that Newsweek editors allegedly killed children, dolphin, baby sea turtles, and blind people.

Darn, I should have bought Newsweek for a dollar when I had the chance. I could probably have resold it for two dollars and doubled my money.
