Trump ignores child in wheelchair [View all]

Here’s a video from the White House of Donald Trump greeting a group of people at the White House. As you can see, a young disabled child repeatedly reaches out to shake Trump’s hand as he moves down the row greeting everyone. Despite a repeated attempt to shake the hand of the man standing directly next to and eventually in front of him, Trump doesn’t even see the child, stepping toward the side door without ever even acknowledging him.
