Since Trump took office all videos with American Sign Language interpreters have been removed from the White House website and YouTube channels. What could be the point of this beyond pure cruelty?

President Trump is trying to get rid of ASL interpreters at White House briefings because he feels they intrude on his ability to control his image.

DOJ argues Trump being made to use sign language interpreters could hurt his ‘image’

The Justice Department has appealed a November order requiring interpreters at many events

Josh Marcus at The Independent:

As part of fighting a lawsuit seeking to force the White House to bring back sign language interpreters at press conferences, the Justice Department has argued such a step would harm Trump’s powers over how he presents his “image” to the public. In a June filing, the administration warned that the suit from the National Association of the Deaf would “severely intrude on the President’s prerogative to control the image he presents to the public” and force him to “share his platform” with an ASL interpreter.

Speaking to Politico this week, Brittany Shrader, director of legal services at the National Association of the Deaf Law and Advocacy Center, said she didn’t want to speculate about the “image” arguments, but said the administration’s failure to regularly feature interpreters at briefings from Trump and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is itself a violation of disability law. “The disability laws don’t require a showing of animus or ill will toward people with disabilities to prove discrimination,” she said. “The laws require that the White House provide access and the failure to provide that access is itself discrimination.” In November, a federal judge largely sided with this position, ordering the Trump administration to bring back interpreters at White House briefings, which had been a regular feature of the Biden administration, shooting down what it says was “puzzling” and “coded language about wanting to present their ‘message and image in a particular way.’”

The Trump Regime carries on an ableist tradition from the late Charlie Kirk: be anti-sign language interpreters.

The National Association Of The Deaf v. Trump lawsuit is about making the Trump Regime require sign language interpreters at press conferences.
