Trump accused of ‘picking on the most vulnerable’ after using derogatory term

• Donald Trump used an ableist slur to describe Minnesota Governor Tim Walz in a Truth Social post, blaming him for the state's Somali refugee population.
• The hosts of The View, including Ana Navarro and Sunny Hostin, condemned Trump's use of the derogatory term.
• Ana Navarro shared her personal experience with her intellectually disabled brother and recalled Trump's past mocking of a disabled New York Times reporter.
• Governor Walz, whose son has learning disorders, appeared on Meet the Press to state that Trump's language is damaging and normalises hateful behaviour.
• The incident prompted an Indiana Republican state legislator, Michael Bohacek, to oppose a GOP-favoured redistricting effort due to his daughter having Down syndrome.
