Speaking for all of us.

South Bend, Indiana Mayor and 2020 Democratic presidential contender Pete Buttigieg didn't back down when asked if he believed President Donald Trump faked a disability in order to avoid serving in Vietnam.

When asked if he believed Trump should've served in Vietnam, Buttigieg asserted that he had a "pretty dim view of [Trump's] decision to fake a disability" in order to avoid service. The interviewer asked for clarification: "You believe he faked a disability?"


Mayor Pete didn't back down:

"Do you believe he has a disability? At least not that one. This is actually really important because I don’t mean to trivialize disability, but I think that’s exactly what he did.”

Watch below:

Buttigieg has served in Afghanistan, but Trump infamously avoided the draft to Vietnam five times due to college and then "bone spurs." Some outlets have reported that the podiatrist's bone spur diagnosis was done as a favor to Trump's father, Fred Trump.

People applauded Buttigieg's statement.

Trump wasn't spared in the comments either.

Way to go, Mayor Pete.

Model Accuses Fashion Brand Of Using AI To Recreate Her Looks For Ad Instead Of Hiring Her

There used to be laws in place for someone's likeness being used without their consent, and most certainly if their likeness was being used in an exploitative way for profit.

But now with the rise of AI-generated photographs, advertisements, and other digital products, the lines seem to have become muddied between the illegal stealing of someone's likeness and AI "inspiration."

Employees in commission-based positions are feeling increasingly pressured to acquire new clients, retain previous clients, and solve the issues their clients call in about with high satisfaction ratings.

Even though tensions are high, and the pressure they're feeling may be unrealistic for any one person to take, that doesn't give them the right to mistreat people who do not want to sign up or want to cancel.
