So, his first attempt at 'rehabilitation' is to deny that he was making fun of Serge Kovaleski???

"Trump put his tact to a test during an interview with The Washington Post here Monday afternoon. Unprompted, he delivered a five-minute soliloquy attempting to explain himself for making wild arm and hand gestures at a rally last November to discredit New York Times reporter Serge Kovaleski. The act was widely seen as mocking the journalist’s physical disability and has been featured in numerous ads and videos designed to savage Trump.

“I would never say anything bad about a person that has a disability,” Trump said, leaning forward at his office desk. “I swear to you it’s true, 100 percent true. . . . Who would do that to [the] handicapped? I’ve spent a lot of money making buildings accessible.”

Trump then satirically reenacted the scene, his arms jerking all around, and said he was trying to show “a guy who grovels — ‘Oh, oh, I didn’t say that. I didn’t say that.’ That was the imitation I was doing.”

“Now,” he concluded, “is that a believable story?”


Trump is obviously not ready for rehab....why go there???

He doesn't have to explain anything, especially to libs who aren't going to vote for him anyway and will use anything he says to demean him. Trump just has to keep explaining his vision for America and why it's better than anything than Hillary or the Democrats are offering.

...still waiting for him to do that. He just repeats the same rhetoric he's been rambling about for 8 months now with zero specifics on how he's actually going to do it.

Lol...unlike Hillary who keeps repeating the same thing with zero specifics. It's election season, everyone likes being sold a bill of goods.

So why is he bothering? Trump is lying about this, so why bother with the 'rehabilitation' tour?

Trump must have sold out to the establishment to even consider this...either that or he is doing it on his own and is delusional that it will attract any new voters.

Then, I guess it was pretty stupid and pointless of him to have that conversation about it, eh? When, he could 'rehabilitate' himself by actually talking in detail about his 'suggestions' (his new term for his 'vision for America?). Why doesn't he talk about his vision, so the libs can demean him for that instead of his utter creepiness? Libs can only work with what he gives them to work with!

Because he doesn't plan to see his 'suggestions' through. Trump's plans were a 'loss leader' to get 'shoppers' into the store....

trump's remarks about charles krauthammer:

“Then I get called by a guy that can’t buy a pair of pants, I get called names?”

krauthammer is paralyzed from the waist down.


also, trump's claim that kovaleski tried to "walk back" his story is false.
