You have to be huffing some major copium if you think he's going to help disabled people make more money. He helped prevent (via one of his appointed judged) people getting overtime pay if you make more than $30k. Plus Project 2025 calls for stripping disability and other protections from individuals with disabilities. So no he isn't going to do anything for the disabled community except make our lives worse.
