    You and I were having a conversation. You kept evading the topic. That isn't anyone else's fault.

    You are certain. Not we. He most likely mocked the reporter's handicap and is lying about it just as he has lied about countless of his other antics. Even if he weren't mocking him, he was trying to lie about his writing in order to cover up his previous lie. His actions were plenty disgusting whether he mocked the man's handicap or not.

    I would invite you to the actual topic. The topic being Trump despises the handicapped.

    I have proved that is a lie.

    Incidentally my desire is to stay on topic, rather than accept your claim I evaded a thing.

    No he did not. And this is not about Mussolini nor your claims ...... he did much for charity.

    Trump is not that sort of man. I proved it objectively. Claims it was the reporters hands is wrong. It was over things the reporter did, not his hands.

    Trump was asked on that very point. Trump does not mock reporters due to disabilities. Trump never said he was disabled.

    Fact is, Trump has done much for the disabled.

    Yet we have video of him mocking a reporter's handicap.

    But since "Robert" from the internet insists that Trump isn't that kind of guy (wtf?) I guess we just have to accept it.

    The difference being that Trumps ads used facts, and were not used to promote lies.

    Look buddy....everyone makes mistakes, but denying their existence just to suit your needs is redundant. That's like denying the Holocaust. Please, man, accept what Trump did, alright. I have no quarrel with you being a Trump supporter, me being sort of one myself, but please, don't deny what he's done.

    Not even close to truth.

    Democrats remain the sole source of this Trump outrage.

    Trump has been asked why he did this. And accused of it being over a handicap.

    Democrats never would tolerate a claim like that made against either Obama or Hillary.

    We do not have to tolerate fake claims either. So we explain and explain and so on and so on.

    Who are you to tell us he mocked the disabled. When did he say that is what he did?

    In that video, where does he say he is mocking the disabled?

    It is just coincidence the mah has a problem with his wrist. I really think the reporter would not lay claim he is disabled. Seems quite able to type out reams of material.

    Trump today brought this up due to the slings and arrows at a reward fest where hollywood rewards it's own.

    Well, subjective as it is, apparently you go for subjective.

    No, it isn't. We are talking about him mocking one person and childishly doing so using his handicap, not "Trump despises the handicapped." You are going for a straw man, just as you did when we were talking about the thousands of Muslims.

    Yeah, I know, it's crazy of me to assume that someone mocked a disabled person simply because there is video of him mocking a disabled person.

    Thank God that you and the rest of the brain trust are here to correct me.

    I think I am on safe turf by telling those who think Trump mocked a person to hurt the disabled is ... well expressing bigotry.

    There is proof Donald did not.

    Actually all we have are a few Democrats words to claim the man was mocked due to a disability.

    So, you see him as disabled then? Wonder if the reporter claims he is disabled?

    As to the Muslims, I believe Trump lied. But that never was the topic.

    Repeating that won't make it any less false.
    Trump mocks and derides and attempts to belittle everyone who stands in the way of his adulation.
    He's a playground bully with a toddler's ego.

    Going out on a limb, not, but the video pretty much confirms he made fun of a handicapped reporter.

    I'm sorry...what? Do you want to try that one more time?

    There is proof that "Donald" did, actually. Did you not see the video?

    Here's my question. Let's say Trump comes out and says yeah I was making fun of that reporter's handicap.

    What changes?

    He's still president on January 20th.

    What's the point of this debate? He's not going to be impeached if it's proven he made fun of that reporter. It's tasteless but not a crime.

    Playground bully?
    He's soon to be president of the most powerful nation the world has ever known.

    Sadly that's true.
    But the mocking episode and his childish reaction today is a sore reminder that he is a truly disgusting piece of excrement who doesn't deserve the respect of any decent human being.
    You might have thought he'd have tried to act more like an adult after his "win". But no, he's incapable of it.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Yet he's still acting like a playground bully. And that is truly scary.
    Donald Trump is far too immature to have the nuclear codes.

    It speaks to his character (or lack thereof) and in conjunction with the many other unfavorable qualities that he has exhibited, informs people as to who he is and how he should be dealt with during the circus that will be the next four years.

    Maybe you can pull an explanation out.

    What were the mocking words?
