I am an incomplete paraplegic.

I am grateful for the opportunity to join in the protest in spite of my physical and mental health limitations. What is happening is not normal.  Trump is not well. He is not fit for office. I am terrified for the world. I am terrified that the people he is choosing to help him are…
