    Donald Trump mocks reporter's disability
    The New York Times is angry that Donald Trump mocked one of its reporters who has a physical disability.
    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.

    It's easy to find out details about reporters and additionally, this reporter's disability was/is no secret. Try again.

    Donald Dump and the truth = two contradictory, mutually exclusive things that never fit together.
    And that he attacked other people disgracefully, if they do not fit him is well known.

    There are hundreds of words to describe diabolical actions of Donald Trump but what is truly a horror beyond words is the thought that there are millions of people who support him.

    Or you could say that 'mean streak' has a Donald Trump in it. Donald Trump is the unmitigated king of (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)s. The perfect Republican candidate.

    Evidently he is, because he mocked the man's disability.

    This is the sort of boorish and ignorant behavior that the talk radio right loves.

    Even if he didn’t, mocking someone for an unusual physical characteristic even if it wasn’t the result of an actual disability doesn’t seem very mature or professional (and yes, lots of other politicians are guilty of it too but you’re not defending them).

    Ah, yes. That desperate ploy to distract from The Great Flat's depravity is an effective stratagem.

    Biden's faux pas of 2008 clearly dictates that we must not nominate him for the presidential election of 2016.

    Sorry, Joe, but your anticipated ascendancy has now been thwarted.

    It's completely classless. I can understand Trump gets off on this kind of bullying but what I don't understand is why are so may Republicans supporting him? He's seriously damaging the Republican brand.

    The Great Flatu is a media entertainer and is only following the example of fellow show biz celebrity Limbaugh when he mocks a handicapped American that upsets him.

    There's a simple answer. So many Americans are fed up with what's going on in Washinton. Many realize Trump is classless, boorish, and a nut. But.....despite all that, if the choice is only between he and Hillary.....Trump wins, because 4 years of Hillary is 4 years of the same and then some. The then some being total dishonesty and lie after blatant lie.

    If you are fed up with what's going on in Washington then elect someone who is competent. It is not between Trump and Hillary. It's between whomever you nominate and Hillary. And if your interest is in improving the workings of Washington Trump isn't qualified. He has zero qualifications and he's a nut (to use your word).

    Rational thought is not a factor.

    Agreed philosophically. But, what you fail to realize is that many, many, MANY will support whoever has the best chance to defeat that lying, deceitful cankle monster, Hillary.

    When the obsessive behaviour is bellywhinging about Clinton, elective practicalities are not takne into consideration.

    Trump could punch a baby in the face and it would not upset his supporters.

    Tu quoque fallacies are nothing more than a sign of weakness.
