Donald Trump mocks reporter's disability

http://money.cnn.com/2015/11/25/media/donald-trump-serge-kovaleski/index.html

"SNIP.............


Trump waved his arms in an awkward manner to lampoon Serge Kovaleski at a rally in South Carolina Tuesday night. Kovaleski has a chronic condition called arthrogryposis, which limits the movement of his arms.

The New York Times was offended. "We find it's outrageous that he would ridicule the appearance of one of our reporters," a spokesperson told CNNMoney.

Trump's performance was prompted by a story Kovaleski had written in 2001 that refuted claims that thousands of Muslims in Jersey City cheered the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center.

Trump is insisting that he saw "thousands" of Muslims celebrating in Jersey City, N.J., as the twin towers burned fell on the other side of the Hudson River.

1. I guess Trump really is for freedom...freedom for his own ID.

2. GWB all over again

9. That was the first thought that came to my mind.

Two assholes cut from the same cloth.

[BlueStater]

10. I think Bush was just being his usual moron self in that video and wasn't trying to be offensive.

Trump, on the other hand, is just a straight-up asshole.

[Hekate]

3. The Donald is a playground bully. He's abusive to anyone who cannot fight back.

How many wives has he had? There is simply not enough money to persuade me to marry a man like that.

[gratuitous]

5. He's also abusive to people who can fight back

But for some reason the popular media are unwilling to push back on their favorite candidate. Look at practically anything T Rump says or does that shows him in a bad light; is there anyone willing to call him on it in real time? Oh, the Times had a standalone editorial tut-tutting that horrid man's simply vile behavior. But when the news report is filed in the Times, it reports whatever stupid falls out of T Rump's cakehole without any criticism or explanation for why what T Rump said was stupid.

Now, imagine if Clinton or Sanders actually said something as repugnant as what T Rump says on a regular, ongoing basis. Sure, there have been minor kerfuffles on quotes taken out of context, but usually the major media try to fabricate a controversy out of nothing, because both Clinton and Sanders are professional campaigners and politicians. Yet T Rump rolls merrily on, untouched by any repercussions for his demagoguery.

4. What a piece of shit

[mimi85]

16. I saw this and was disgusted and

the audience was very quiet for a change.

[alittlelark]

6. Classic Malignant Narcissist...

...I am ashamed by how many listen to him.

[Monk06]

11. Why are you ashamed? Embarassed maybe. BTW Donald and Ford Fairlaine have the same fan base

That is my explanation anyway

[0rganism]

7. as a DHS asset, shouldn't he be kept out of sight in a secure location?

the man can predict terrorism! he's better than the CIA and the NSA combined. we the people need to understand how valuable his clairvoyance is and immediately get him to a solitary cell in Quantico for safe, methodical debriefing.

8. I'm with you. Trump is far too able to sense to be mere president. It is not common to have senses

like his. He belongs with others with no common sense and out of the Presidential nomination race. And off our tvs.

[yuiyoshida]

12. Trump is a bully

but of course he would do this. That's what bullies do. He's a 6th grader in a man's body.

13. Pics

Before the distasteful imitation, Trump said the story was 'written by a nice reporter'.
But he continued: 'Now the poor guy, you gotta see this guy: "Uh, I don’t know what I said. I don’t remember." He’s going, "I don’t remember. Maybe that’s what I said."'
Kovaleski, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who now works for the New York Times, was born with arthrogryposis. The condition can cause sufferers' joints to get stuck in one position and can also see people born with weaker or missing muscles.

14. A spoiled rich brat grown into egotistical zealot

This is the very last person that should be President of a country.
Add to that a country with nukes and a MIC with an insatiable desire for war!
The world doomsday clock grows closer.

15. I bet if one of his team told him to back down from this...

...he'd 100% fire them. He's surrounded by sycophants.
