I think it's important that the man got to his age and has no idea you don't make fun of people with CP in public on stage. (I'll even give people a pass who do it in private - I'm not talking about whether people are judgmental or cruel, but rather, does the man have no clue how to behave publicly?)
Brash and rude are different from being absolutely flat-out clueless in how he appears to people.
Not saying it was right but I believe he was mocking or imitating a critic.

Yes, he was mocking a critic for a physical handicap by aping that handicap himself.
Again, if you're older than 6, you know not to do that.
And that's how he treats his critics and competitors. By making fun of their wife's attractiveness, they're own attractiveness, their short stature, etc.

I doubt he cares how he appears to the lefties who will rip him apart regardless or else he'd have done something about his hair and skin color that bothers you.
The conservatives love him orangey and hair transplant or not and he knows it.

In isolation, there is nothing concerning about Trump's comment regarding Kavanaugh's wife and children, but it's part of a pattern of behavior focused on externalities that demonstrates his utter shallowness. I have no doubt that in certain situations the president can be quite charming, but eventually he reveals his true character, which is desperate to lord over other people to pump up his own self-worth. It's in the way he shoves people aside, as he did at the NATO meeting early in his presidency; the way he appraised Brigitte Macron's physical fitness in front of her husband, the president of France (and his own wife!); the silly handshake games he plays with other world leaders; the way he takes over campaign events for Republican candidates and turns them into rallies for himself; and the disgusting way he blithely referred to sexually assaulting women in that now infamous Access Hollywood tape. I've encountered plenty of people like Trump in my five decades of life. They're bullies who play games to feel better about themselves at the expense of other people's personal dignity.

What you seem to be forgetting is that he has also been criticized by righties...Bob Corker, Jeff Flake, the late John McCain and most recently by Susan Collins after he attacked Kavanaugh's accuser, Christine Blasey Ford.

Yes, that's why he cheats on his wives with porn stars.
LOL
...And with playboy bunnies and who knows what the other 100+ women that Michael Cohen had to pay off do for a living. My guess is something where their looks are more valued.

It is also a courtesy, AND preferred, to acknowledge a woman's nonphysical traits like her intelligence, sense of humor, wit, etc but something tells me that Trump finds more value in women as trophies. Why else did he replace each of his wives with someone who's younger and more beautiful each time? Why else does he favor Ivanka over his other kids? Why else would he often denigrate women who he has conflicts with by calling them ugly, dogs, etc.?
Give it a rest with defending Trump, it makes YOU look just as bad.
