The man just keeps on getting worse.

The New York Times has criticised Donald Trump as “outrageous” after the Republican presidential front-runner mocked one of its reporters and appeared to imitate his disability.

In a speech to supporters on Tuesday night, Trump derided Serge Kovaleski In a speech to supporters on Tuesday night, Trump derided reporter Serge Kovaleski while flailing and twisting his arms.

Kovaleski has arthrogryposis, a congenital condition that affects joint movement.

In before someone brings up Obama's brutal "Special Olympics" crack to downplay this, even though this is worse by any conceivable metric.
 
Re: Trump mocks journalist's disability

OK, trumpeteers, time to either:
Find a Democrat who did the same thing, or a similar thing at least, or
Claim that Trump really meant something else, or
Find a way to say what he did was OK.

When will the Republican base begin to realize that Trump is the worst thing that has happened to the party since Reagan was "fooled by the liberals" into signing amnesty into law?
 
Re: Trump mocks journalist's disability

Honestly, Trump and his posse scares me far worse than terrorist. What would you guess, maybe 7th grade mentality?

On the part of his supporters? That's about right.
Trump is smart enough to know what he is doing. He also sees that it is working.

Is that the endorsement with MJ Fox on or off his meds?

Exactly what I was talking about.

Re: Trump mocks journalist's disability

The GOP is worried. Jeb bush has virtually no chance of winning, and he has actually shown himself to be a nut job like all of the others. Trump/Carson/Cruz, the nuts, are doing quite well. What a joke this election is. We have Donald trump mocking a journalist... His poll numbers will probably go up..

Don't like Trump...don't care if he mocks the reporter's disability.
 
Re: Trump mocks journalist's disability

After all the stupid stuff he has already done and said, I cannot imagine what it would take to derail his nomination...I find it hard to believe the Republicans are falling for his sophomoric shtick, but there he is.

Trump is helping to show what a terrible position the GOP is in.

Uh, you should care, Donald trump is leading in the GOP polls. Says a lot, doesn't it? :lamo
 
Re: Trump mocks journalist's disability

Yes, and seeing to it that it gets into an even worse position.

Oh, I truly hope he runs independent.. Guaranteed landslide for the dems. It's gotten so bad for the GOP that they actually don't have a plan for handling Trump.

folks got butthurt when Wendy Davis was mocking Abbots disability during the Texas gubernatorial campaigns....

I didn't get butthurt about that either.... but alot of Republicans did... I doubt any Democrats were offended, though.... that's not how politics works in this country.

Uh, a gubernatorial campaign isn't as important as a presidential election. Probably why there wasn't as much attention :)

why should I be butthurt over him mocking a reporters disability?....

trump leading the GOP polls says the same to me as Hillary leading the Democratic polls... it says that a plurality of "likely primary voters", that are polled, are morons.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Rubio come out on top when all is said and done... And I think he'll beat Hillary too.

The current polling is meaningless, we know polling means nothing anymore because of the way they are conducted, once the actual primaries begin, we'll get the real picture.

Well, y'know, Clinton actually has experience and the GOP is certainly helping her out with the witch hunt that is doing absolutely nothing but making her stronger.

truly, I didn't expect you, or any other democrats/liberal/progressive, to be butthurt over a Democrat mocking a disability....cuz, you know, that's how politics works in this country.
 
Re: Trump mocks journalist's disability

You all have been dead wrong about Trump thus far, why expect doing the same thing is going to yield different results for you?

When did I say I wasn't "butt hurt?"

Yeah, every time we think he can't be more racist or xenophobic, he ups his game! And the nuts eat it like candy!
