I suspect that Trump is also saying that he doesn't want any blind people in
his building, whether or not they can afford it. He doesn't want them there
where he might encounter them.

Carl, Donald Trump has to be treated for social disintegration. The tactile
system of raised dots representing letters and numerals has to surely
disappoint the immensely property tycoon. He on occasions smeared and
denigrated people with disability in general. Why would he respect a major
facility for blind individuals? He somewhat prejudiciously assumed that a blind
person won't ever afford the cost of living in Trump's tower. He idiotically
thought they mostly live on government pension. While it is a true for a
substantial portion, however, there are blind people who possess abundant of
wealth and they live prestigiously. Donald Trump has major problems with anyone
who is not white, famous and rich. He even assaulted major Republicans with a
radical rhetoric. And as for women, if she is not appealing to him, he'll diss
and defame her reputation. He is narcissist, flamboyant and demagogue.

President Donald Trump allegedly ordered an architect not to include
braille in Trump Tower elevator panels because "no blind people" would
live in his building—even after being informed that excluding the
tactile writing system is against federal law.
The alleged interaction was recounted by Barbara Res, who led
construction at the Trump Organization, in an opinion piece in the New
York Daily News on Wednesday.
"What's this?" Trump, noticing the small raised dots, reportedly asked
the architect who went to his office to show what the residential
elevator interiors would look like.
"Braille," the architect responded.
Trump apparently demanded that the architect take the feature out.
"We can't," the architect replied. "It's the law."
"Get rid of the [expletive] braille. No blind people are going to live
in Trump Tower," Trump shouted, according to Res. "Just do it."
The architect pushed back, making Trump yet more mad. The future
president also apparently called the architect weak, considered
architects and engineers to be weak unlike construction workers, and
enjoyed tormenting weak people.
Trump ordered "outrageous or just plain stupid ideas, both legal and
illegal. Sometimes those lines were blurred," Res wrote.
