    They are jumping all over the place. The topic is that Trump had the same mannerisms as he had in other cases. That Trump is on record denying he mocked the reporter over a disability.

    No honest person can say Trump was doing anything other than mocking this guy's handicap.

    Remember Trump's FIRST reaction was to claim he didn't know the guy which was a blatant lie.

    So do you value your honesty?

    Like I asked...do you know he has been doing that right along...or is it something recent so that he can claim he does it all the time?

    Reasonable question.

    Do you know the answer?

    And we do not know if the "other" instances were recent inventions or not.

    I believe one instance (the general) was during the same speech that he mocked the handicapped reporter and the other one (Cruz) was several months later.

    Either way, there is no denying that he only used the crooked hand gesture when mocking the reporter. That much is plain as day.

    1) What does President-elect* Trump being a dick have to do with Hillary?
    2) Since Hillary got almost 3,000,000 more votes than Trump, if she was horrible, Trump must be absolutely dreadfull.

    Trump's "honeymoon" period will be short and not so sweet. Here's hoping he brings the whole GOP down with him before he goes.

    Regardless of how you and others seek to spin the reprehensible BS that Trump's literal commentary and behavior is... the reality of his 'character' paves the way for the scrutiny and criticism he will receive the entire length of his tenure as POTUS.

    The man is ****** UNFIT to perform as POTUS.

    That's all I'm seeing. I wish that I saw something more assuring. :(

    Trump has been dreadful and is surely dreadful (present and past tense).

    It's proper for the nation to be averse toward him in general.

    That's the most idiotic thing you could have possibly said. He also doesn't have orange skin or a bad toupee.

    Newsflash: Trump and the general also do not wave their arms around like that...

    ...But the reporter does have a disfigured hand which Trump imitated while mocking him. He did not do that when waving his hands around while referring to Cruz or the general.

    People aren't objecting to him waving his arms around, they object to him publicly mocking the disfigured hand of the reporter.

    Look again. He did not make a handicapped hand gesture when talking about the general or Cruz...but he mysteriously DID when mocking the reporter with the handicapped hand.

    Actually some of the hardened Democrats changed the topic.

    It really is about one thing.

    That Trump in no way showed disrespect for the handicapped.

    We are quite certain of that fact.

    You either haven't looked at that video or you're being less than honest

    I posted a number of awesome things Donald did. Including his delivering a huge check to a young girl.

    Why would people actually want to try to portray Donald as if he is an ugly american?

    Yeah right anyone can see what he did. It's disgraceful to try to excuse it and make it ok. We saw it. His judgement is pathetically childish.

    Check post 119 and try to persuade me the man does not respect people.

    I saw the "smear" that Donald "despises" the handicapped, but that video is not the true Donald Trump.

    This is the true Donald Trump.

    If Trump despises the handicapped, that really makes up your case, explain this video?

    Whether or not Trump likes or dislikes the handicapped is not the issue.

    In this case he CLEARLY was mocking this guy's disability.

    Everyone has seen schoolyard idiots do those exact moves and if you claim otherwise you are not being honest

    Well of course YOU don't see a handicapped gesture. To do so would mean that you were siding against your hero. Can't have that.

    To normal people, on the other hand, it is very clear that he is mocking a person's handicap.

    And? Mussolini did a lot for charity...that doesn't change the fact that he was a monster.

    Likewise, your video doesn't change the fact that Trump openly mocked someone's handicap.
