trump's quote referring to serge kovaleski:

"the poor guy. You ought to see this guy." trump then proceeds to distort his arms and hand mimicking kovaleski's arthrogryposis.

Quote:
It is you who call Trump a liar. So the burden of proof is on you.
" You ought to see this guy " directly contradicts trump's claim that he's never seen kovaleski.

...and trump's quote from sarasota:

"I would never mock a person that has difficulty. I would never do that, I'm telling you. I would never do it."

is contradicted by his 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

...but to use a child's handicap and make such a repulsive statement is flagrant ignorance..
please read my quote again in the context of a response to lovestosave.

His hardcore, of course, does not care and probably approves, but there are not enough of them to get him the nomination.
Nobody cares about the New York Times or what it has to say, other than its *******-dork subscribers. Who are always compelled to include toothy glamour shots of their oblivious, egoistic selves in their comment icon space, thinking that readers give a sh-; some of them even peering over their eyeglasses on lanyards.

Clueless, leftist media was so sure of itself. Every day was going to be the day that Americans abandoned the candidate.

What more do you want?

Only ones who try to condemn Trump for this latest MSM smear are those who advocate for career status quo establishment politicians. Why? I don't know.
I wanna know who the idiot is that is impersonating Trump in public. You'd think he'd want to know too.

It is you who call Trump a liar. So the burden of proof is on you. So far you have only supplied opinion or tried to make it about me. Topic isn't about me.
It is Trump who made the reporter's disability front and center. Not the reporter.

I'm convinced that you know this.

here's more on the topic:

New York Times calls Donald Trump's latest criticisms 'outrageous' - Nov. 29, 2015

it also shows that trump's claim that kovaleski is "back-tracking" is false.

Trump called out the reporter. Whether you consider that to be making fun of his disability, especially in light of Trump saying he didn't mean it, is nothing but opinion.

In the end, it won't make a hill of bean's difference.
  • Vast majority of Americans don't care. They will be voting their pocket book. They no longer listen to outraged PC police.
  • For those who think Trump did something despicable, well they thought this about Trump anyway. Ultima Thule.
The rest of America has moved on from this latest false outrage. It didn't even score much mention on the Sunday morning political pundit TV shows.
