To be clear, I have no idea if Trump saw thousands of Muslims celebrating 9-11 in Jersey City. And the journalist has claimed to have interviewed Trump several times so it would be difficult to believe the Trump campaign's excuse that Trump didn't even know the reporter. Trump even says "you've gotta' see this guy" before imitating him. Now here's Kovaleski talking about something completely unrelated but you'll be able to spot the similarities between what Trump is doing and Kovaleski:įor those who say he wasn't mocking the journalist's disability, I just don't see how you can come to that conclusion. When Trump quotes him he awkwardly holds his hands up and gesticulates awkwardly. Trump, whose campaign advised us to "Forget love" when talking about immigration policies, clearly seems to mock former Washington Post reporter Serge Kovaleski who suffers from arthrogryposis, a condition which severely limits the mobility of his arms. He apparently did not just mock someone with a disability but he may very well have mocked him specifically for his disability. But Trump's latest is, I think, revealing of his character. I'll admit I've gotten a kick out of him at times. It's not just appreciation for Trump, it's also anger at the media. His candidacy, while built on his immigration stance, has persevered because many refuse to let the media take him down. Donald Trump would be in hot water if he were any other candidate but he's apparently immune to such things mainly because so many love the way he confronts his opponents and the media (is that redundant?). Mocking the weak is not a desirable trait in someone seeking the most powerful office in the world.
