I would prefer him to be an intelligent, caring human being. Alas, he's neither.

Yep, doing nothing at this stage would probably be the best for everyone.
Those who call themselves "debunking" this story often seem to be saying that Trump was not mocking that one reporter, but that it is a habitual way he makes a point about most spastic or handicapped people in general. How is that in any way better?

Venezuela used to be a relatively wealthy and stable democracy.

Of course it isn't, but those seeking to whitewash the man pick their nits in a very particular fashion..

No not "handicapped people".

Surely this has been discussed on this forum as nauseum. And anyway, what does it have to do with Venezuela?

Maybe that's why the libs don't want to help Venezuela. They'd have to admit socialism failed again, as it does every where. Their hero Chavez might be made to look bad.

Victims of socialism don't vote Democrat.

They vote Republican until they realize Republicans are just as socialist as Democrats.

The Democratic Party is a right wing capitalist party. They’re to the left of the GOP, doesn’t mean they’re left wing.
