what intellectual disabilities did the reporter have, Paul? you’re saying he was a “retard”? In what way?

i agree it was disgusting, yet when you say it that’s good, when i say it, you call me a Trumplican.

apparently there is a bottom, as I’ve never heard Trump at the word “retard”.

No idea what intellectual disabilities he has. While I haven't heard him use spazz or retard, I think we would all agree it is within the realm of possibilities.

We would never have heard either of those words of any other Pres. in our lifetime.

so you concede the guy isn’t a “retard”, and that Trump never referred to him that way, yet you claimed trump makes fun of “retards”. based on nothing.

how about we judge him for things he actually does, not stuff you think he’s capable of?

Based on the classlessness of this Pres. So what was he doing on stage mocking the reporter?

and the only president i know of, who explicitly made fun of these particular people, is Obama. But you had exactly zero issue with that. And that’s not hypocrisy.

As you were told, it was a self deprecating comment - meaning he was attempting to make a joke at his own expense. Obama made a poor joke and then apologized. There is no comparison between what Obama did and what Trump did - even ignoring the many, many other times Trump mocks people. Obama didn't do that.

So no hypocrisy. It is not like your trying to hold the Dems. to a standard that you did not hold the Repub. to.

FFS as Ann said,, he was doing the half retard. That is what I used to see people doing when they were 10 years old. So your contention is that he wasn't doing the Retard but the spazz?

So Ann Coulter is a mind reader, just like you are. Are you guys in the same club or something? At least when she's bashing Trump. I'm sure you rely on her opinions often.

STILL waiting for you to respond to my question if it's ok for me to use the n-word when I am making fun of myself. Any special reason you won't respond?

As to your question, what I know for a fact was in his vindictive and obnoxious way, Trump was making fin of a guy who criticized him. He made fun of him in a way that he had made fun of another guy in the past suggesting that his choice of mockery wasn't necessarily related to this guy's condition. If you read Ann Coulters's article, instead of just the sentence that suited your needs, you'd see she was making the same argument I'm making, but she used hateful language to do so. Hateful language that you embraced.

I answered your question. Any chance you can show me the same courtesy? using your logic, can I assume it's OK if I use the n-word while making fun of myself? If not, please explain the difference between that, and your defense of what Obama did.

It must be exhausting to have to get so creative, vague, and evasive, instead of simply answering questions and - god forbid - admitting someone else is right once in awhile.

There are even videos online showing the differences. Hateful language that you embraced.I embrace it only to show what a vile low person he his and that the Trumplicans will do anything to support him regardless of how low he goes.

You're the one who is wrong. You should have just stuck with he says vile things but I like his policies.

It is not believable to me that you believe Trump did not make fun of the reporter by imitating and mocking his movements - whether they were as a result of a physical or some type of mental disability. And for that reason, I think you have no credibility (and TDS).

How low we have fallen that this would even be a subject - but with Trump nothing is too low.

Paul, the reporter was not capable of making those movements. His disability prevented him from even being capable of making those movements. The reporter did not make those movements. It was physically impossible to make those movements that Trump did. There is no video showing the reporter making those movements. The only similarity of Trump's movements to those of the reporter were a mini-second freeze of Trump's moves at that exact point where his hand was in the position that the Reporter's hand is pretty much frozen by his disability. All the gyrations that Trump made were not possible for the reporter to do.

Those "spastic" movements that Trump made were also similarly made by him when talking about Ted Cruze and a military general. He was not imitating the reporter, not making fun or "mocking" him for imitating movements the reporter was not even capable of making.

You have been duped, not me. If you believe that Trump just happened coincidentally made those movements while discussing that reporter, you're so filled with hate that you can't emotionally think straight.

You say that they weren't the "same" movements as those he used in other instances. If you mean exactly the same, of course, it would not be possible to make exactly the same movement years apart, without rehearsal. But they were very similar. Especially with those he made when talking about Ted Cruz.

But if you're going to go the route of they're not the same, then that would apply to showing the reporter making exactly the same movements. Can you do that? Show where the reporter made exactly those same movements. I don't believe his disability would make its possible to even come close to making the same movements Trump made, not to mention exactly the same. Did the reporter make those movements? Why are you assuming that he made those movements that you claim Trump imitated?

Was Trump, "coincidentally" as you put it, mocking Cruz's movements or the General's? Was it a "coincidence" that the movements were all similar to each other? Or was Trump mocking, not physical movements, but a generic physical representation of frustrated inability to explain some contradiction--as in the reporter's attempt to cover for what he had previously reported.

paul, if i used the n word in public, id expect to get pummeled. if i made fun of special olympian’s for not being athletic, i’d expect to make disabled people cry.

is the former so much worse to you? again, since your side has no problem eliminating special olympian’s from existence at birth, maybe that’s no surprise.

So, Paul, you claim that Trump imitated the reporters movements. Serge Kovaleski, the reporter, suffers from a congenital joint condition which severely restricts his ability to move his arms. Do you have some proof, another video perhaps, which shows Kovaleski making the "same movements" you said that Trump imitated. It is very doubtful (probably impossible) that Kovaleski is able to move the way Trump did in the video.

The only similarity between Trump's movements and Kovaleski that is found in searching this controversy is a freeze frame of that exact moment in Trump's wild gestures that his hand is bent at the wrist in front of his chest like Kovaleski's seems to be permanently paralyzed--a wrist bend that Trump often has in parts of his gestures when speaking.

But can't find any videos where kovaleski even moves his arms at all. I don't think it would be possible for him to move his arms the way Trump did. And if he tried, it would probably be too painful, if at all possible, to do so, and would not be worth the attempt for any purpose other than an attempt to ward off some kind of attacker or killer bee trying to sting him.

Trump actually has admitted that he mimicked what he thought would be a flustered reporter trying to get out of a statement he made long ago. That is, he was not mocking or imitating the movements of a disabled person, but rather his version of someone frustratingly trying to explain away a lie he got caught telling. Which is the very similar hand waving way he was filmed doing on other occasions when he mocked others who were trying to do the same type of weak self vindication.

I would hate to think that I am so filled with hate that I can't emotionally think straight, as you claim. But it just seems that the evidence shows that Trump was not imitating Kovaleski's movements, that he was imitating some stock version of frustration. So if you could, please, show some verification that Kovaleski actually moved like that, which so coincidentally resembles what Trump has been filmed doing a few times before, I would appreciate being relieved of the burden of hate you've found in me of which I have not even been aware. And also would like to be shown the truth that will allow me to "emotionally think straight" as you put it.

Though, I must admit, for me, my emotions and my thinking are different things. And when I let my emotions color or direct my thinking, it tends to blot out all rationality and logic--ergo my thinking, then, is not very "straight." All the more reason for me to be shown the truth in this aforementioned mocking situation. No doubt the real truth will meld my thinking and my emotion about it into a very straight "emotional thinking" and enlightened vision of the real reality.

Much appreciation, therefor, if you could show Kovaleski making the moves that Trump imitated.

I do wear skinny pants. Peter Millar, vince, etc. I think it has to do with my 50 mile bike rides.

I'm a little perplexed at that given I've never fished a spot a 2nd time* that anyone from this site as taken me to so it would be impossible for anyone to say I've stolen a spot. I've been taken out in boats 3x and since I don't have a boat it can't be those spots. I've been out 4-5 x surfcasting with different folks and *the only time I have fished a spot I went to with someone here was 1x driving to the canal I was talking to someone who said I should instead go out in my wetsuit to another spot we fished together previously.

I attribute that comment to him not being that smart so he couldn't think of anything to say but wanted to try to insult me.
