Trump planned to be wheeled out of Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where he went after testing positive for COVID-19 in 2020, before standing up and opening his button-down shirt to reveal the Superman logo, according to Haberman’s book “Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America.” Axios reported on Haberman’s book's coverage of the incident, and the Times initially reported calls made about the appearance in 2020.

Their racism runs so deep you can't even say a color.

sexuality is a scary word here

I'd argue that any time any word is banned by any government, it's scary.

What is the source for this list, please?
I need to share it with conservatives and listen to them try to justify it.

Source is the New York Times as referenced in the posted article. Here is an archived link so you can read it without a paywall.

Healthy actually can be said but they have a much different definition of it.
What can't be said is illness, disease, frailty.
Trump himself sees disease, old age, and frailty as weakness. It's part of why he is so obsessed with arguing that he is actually young and healthy.
So old age should be on your list as well. In his mind, he is immortal.

So, barely surviving COVID only compounded that?

If reports are true that he wanted to rip his shirt open to reveal a Superman t-shirt underneath... yeah.

That would explain the whole "Justice League" thing during the elections.
