    LMAO...You can polish that turd all you want, but the facts speak for themselves, as does the video of him doing it.
    Your great orange hope has no class, but then you already know that.

    Trump may have been making fun of the guy but not because he was crippled. Again he did the same thing for TED CRUZ and that guy is NOT crippled. You all fail to see my point. I am sure Trump makes fun of people and it is childish. I do not disagree with this. I disagree with everyone trying to say Trump is making fun of a handicapped person in the video. If you want to argue he is making fun of a person in the video you may be right but to try and spin it that Trump makes fun of handicapped people or was making fun of this guy because he is handicapped is wrong.

    Prove to me Trump was making fun of this guy because he is handicapped or please stop wasting my time. Just because the guy may be disabled does not give you pr anyone else the right to use it as propaganda to say Trump makes fun of handicapped people.

    Trump may have been making fun of the person and yes the person is handicapped but that does not mean anything Trump said had to do with the person being handicapped. I watched the video and saw no evidence of this so stop supporting lies and move on please.

    Wow you people don't get it. Let me restate what I just posted. I doubt you will still get it though. You people are so anti Trump you just don't see why you are wrong.

    So if a Combat war Veteran has "limited movement" of his legs and or hands due to wounds suffered from an enemy mortar round and or bullets if you were the VA doctor making an assessment as to whether the Veteran is entitled to VA Compensation and medical care to restore unlimited movement of thecVet's limbs you the Doc would declare that Vet as being Not Dusabked and therefore you would deny him compensation and medical care! That is what you are saying when you say this guy us not disabled he has "limited movement".

    So if I assigned a doctor who have limited eyesight and limited hand movement and limited mental capability 20 years after graduating from medical school to oerform brain surgery on you to remove that fast growing tumor that is causing you limited hand movement that woukd be ok by you since the focus is not disabled he just has limited movement, mental capacity, and is almost blind ?

    What was the "you should see this guy" before making all the mocking gestures about then?

    Why did he say, "you should see this guy"...and then start all that childish nonsense?

    Trump says "aww you have to see this guy...he says I don't remember...I don't remember.....it was 14 years ago."

    How is that in any way making fun of the guy for being handicapped or making fun of handicapped people. If you arguement is because of the way he is moving his hands well he does this for a lot of people including Ted Cruz.

    Really what he said was so short and hardly anything to get bent out out of shape about. You all have lost it with your anti trump attitudes. Trump may be childish but so are all of you for actually trying to make this more than what it actually is and trying to use this as propaganda to brainwash people to support your views on Trump.

    Anybody who actually tries to turn this video into anything other than Trump is making fun of a guy has lost all of my respect. He is not making fun of handicapped people in this video. Huge fail on the left side with this one.

    I think we may both be wrong on what he said. My "you should see this guy"...was not correct...and your "you have to see this guy" is also.

    "You gotta see this guy" is a the actual language.

    That comment in no way proves he was making fun of the guy for being handicapped. Trump makes fun of a lot of people. To try and turn into something to support your anti trump views is wrong.

    "You should see this guy" could mean a lot of things and you are reaching very far with this one. Trump has actually helped handicapped people in the past leading me to believe he was just making comments about the person and not his disability and what Trump said is nothing compared to what a lot of anti Trump people have said on this forum or what Hillary said when she called us Trump supporters deplorable.

    Why is this even an issue? Maybe it's because the left media wants everyone to think Trump was making fun of this guy because he is handicapped. Big lie and fail.

    Thank You for correcting me. I have no problem calling Trump out for something I don't agree with. I think his arm motions are stupid and I think he is childish but I won't jump on the band wagon and call a green apple a orange if that is not what it actually is. Untill someone can prove to me Trump was actually attacking the guy because he was disabled I have nothing more to say on this matter.

    I don't want to beat the dead horse any longer.

    I'm sorry friend, but in the best case scenario he was basically calling the reporter retarded. The fact that he did it in the way he did is mildly disturbing because of his national position. The fact that trump cannot deliver a scathing, well thought out, retort without mimicking a mentally disabled person should alarm the cultists about trumps true level of intellect.

    He never called the reporter retarded. Nothing he said in any way even says he was attacking the guy for his disability. You are reaching very far with this one.

    I always thought this one was completely over blown. It's not like he said, "I'd tap that." He said, "I would date her if I wasn't her father." If he wasn't a billionaire megalomaniac who actually dates/marries women his daughter's age, it'd be endearing.

    He wasn't making fun of handicapped people, he was mocking a specific handicapped reporter who had made him look bad by calling him out on his blatant lie about having personally seen "thousands and thousands" of Muslims celebrating the 9/11 attacks. . A Pulitzer-winning reporter who had interviewed Trump a dozen times, but who Trump lied about never having met.
    This is just one of the more blatant examples of Don Trump's despicable lack of character, one of the many reasons that he is 100% unfit to be president.

    One instance of Don Trump doing something nice for a disabled child many years ago does not excuse what he did to this reporter - mocking him on a national stage, then lying about having never met him in an attempt to cover his ass.
    Trump trashes everyone who dares question his greatness - it's what he does, because he's a thin-skinned immature brat. Not even remotely close to being fit to lead this country.

    Don't vote for him then.

    I find the taunts against Trump to be troubling.

    I suspect his detractors never watched his speech made in November of 2015 when his opponents were republicans.

    most rational posters believe Trump normally was first attacked.

    Does anyone who's mocking anyone ever actually say, "hey, I'm mocking you"? Seriously, that's the best you could come up with? When did Hillary ever say that she didn't support Gary Johnson for president? Never did she outright say that. Yet, through her actions, we can pretty much assume that she would not like him as president.

    Even if it was just a coincidence, and he wasn't trying to mock the disabled, the point was that the guy was, indeed, disabled, and that obviously hurt him more so than just a simple insult. He perceived it as an attack on his disability. And a misconception like that is actually very important because wars can be fought over misinterpretation, our own American Revolution being one of them.

    Furthermore, Trump's argument regarding Meryl Streep is invalid. Just because they are Hillary supporters doesn't make their argument any less valid than yours. Sure, they can be wrong, and yea, them being Hillary supporters implies that they do not care for Trump, but it doesn't make their argument any less valid based solely on the fact that they are Hillary supporters.

    Trump: Romney Begged Me For Endorsement, I Could Have Said 'Mitt, Drop To Your Knees' And He Would Have .....

    At a campaign rally in Portland, Maine this afternoon Trump talked about how Mitt Romney begged him for his endorsement in 2012, which eventually did happen.

    "He was begging for my endorsement," Trump said Thursday. "I could have said, 'Mitt, drop to your knees,' and he would have dropped to his knees. He was begging. True. He was begging me."

    Like mocking the handicapped reporter Kovaleski.. this was unnecessary .. Trump claims he didn't know him, but Kovaleski had interviewed him some 12 times in a period of five years.

    So either Trump is a liar, or there is something else going on.. Perhaps something hereditary.

    His tweets are hilarious. As far as anything Presidential to blame on him...Obama's still the failure in chief in the white house. It's not Jan 20 yet.

    He's handling it fine. I like a President that speaks his mind and isn't a coward that only says things to please the masses. His presidency is like going to Basic Training.

    First few weeks he's breaking people down (the left will realize how weak they are politically), the next 3 weeks he's building them back up (uniting people when possible) and the last 3 weeks are execution of major policies.

    Obviously the "weeks" are not realistic, but the idea itself is a useful analogy

    We will see ... because who is acting as so called "most powerful man in world" like an elephant in the China Shop can earn revenge or get the bill for the destructions he did... and don't mean a financial bill.
    There are so many topics at him ... will be an interesting time what happens in reality at least!

    It just amazes me how liberals care more about this nonsense than a mentally disabled guy being kidnapped and tortured but I guess it shouldn't since the guy kidnapped was supposedly a Trump supporter and was kidnapped by liberals.
