In the last week another story concerning President Trump and his seemingly dismissive views towards disabled people has come to light - an opinion article written by Former Trump Organization Executive Barbara Res said that Trump didn't want to have braille available inside the elevators of Trump Tower in New York during its development, and that "no blind people are going to live in Trump Tower".
We hear the views of some blind American voters; if you would like to contribute to the discussion, you can email us, or find us on all the usual social media channels.

The TV host and comedy writer Denis Norden has died at the age 96.
A statement released by Norden's children described him as: "A wonderful dad, a loving grandfather and great great-grandfather."
Allan Russell spoke to Denis back in 2009 following the news he had been diagnosed with age related macular degeneration - the most common cause of sight loss in the UK. Allan asked him how it changed his life.
On behalf of everyone here at RNIB Connect Radio, we would like to pass our condolences to the Norden family. -
On today's show we talk about a new campaign by listener Dr Amy Kavanagh called #JustAskDontGrab which attempts to highlight the problems of blind people being approached by helpful members of the public who may in fact cause more distress than offer help by grabbing them. We also find out about an upcoming event in Glasgow to celebrate RNIB's 150th anniversary and the 30th anniversary of the Resource Unit for the Visually Impaired at Glasgow's Mitchell Library. Tech Talk's Shaun Preece also joins us to explain one of the most simplest functions of a smartphone - making a call. And our Society of the Week is for the green-fingered among you - it's called Thrive.
All that, plus Producer Kris with Your Views!
