Another one, showing Trump really likes to wave his hands around spontaneously while speaking (check 3:15 mark) and showing he is a true man of the people.
A self made billionaire who isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty who only sees people (not color). Wow. Wow. Wow. What a nice contrast to a certain lifer….
Yep, you could see true adoration (and a bit of lust) in his eyes for Mia the maid at the end of that clip.
I was saying he uses the gesture to describe people he thinks are stupid. He thought the reporter who was disabled was stupid. Do we have direct evidence he even knew this reporter that well to know he was disabled?
The reporter says Trump knew him. That's about it.
Even if it was just a coincidence and Trump regularly makes fun of people by pretending to be disabled, I am not sure that is the defense you think it is.
Van, this is where you take the win and move on. You did it buddy!
I know that. I saw people trying to make excuses for him when it happened.Here's some video of him using similar motions in mocking bank regulators, generals, and Ted Cruz. It appears to be his go-to move to mock people:

Lol. Yeah he knew the reporter, knew his disability and mocked him like that anyway? The reporter had interviewed him several times. That’s a whole lot better, isn’t it? Making fun of people and acting disabled is better? You seriously spent your time on that today? And are now making this argument? Waiting for your explanations of why grab them by the p—y isn’t that bad, blood coming out of her whatever was showing concern, and he’s worried about nutrition when he calls people fat pigs.
It’s kind of like asking would you rather be kicked in the left nut or the right nut?
Van, you're trying to explain humor to the humorless.
I guess the White House Correspondents dinner doesn't count? Talk about calling names and bullying of someone who wasn't even in attendance.
I dunno man, that seems like a weak defense. Like justifying using the n word because you also directed it at white people.
Flailing your arms around is like using the n word? What am I misssing?
It's not, I just mean saying you did something in one context is hardly a defense for doing it in another.
I don't think a presidential candidate or the president or anyone in a serious position of power should mock anyone. I don't like that Trump does that.
Brad, I have really thought about this. Are we sure Trump knew this reporter as far as knowing his background and health status? Perhaps Trump had read something he had written, but I have heard of and read plenty of columnists etc and I have no idea about their lives.
I agree with all that but what I'm saying is I think the gesture itself is clearly intended to evoke some element of disability. And I think that makes it offensive even if he wasn't using it to reference an actual disability.
Biden's daughter said her dad showed with her during her teen years. She wrote that in her diary.
When I saw the video where Trump did that to other people who were not disabled it appeared that it is to denote idiocy. Now of course I don't go around and publicly mock people like that and don't think it should be done either. But it is a far stretch to say Trump did it to make fun of someone who was disabled.
@VanPastorMan , maybe you should read about it.
Sure she did. That is likely as much bull shit as stormy Daniel's letter saying Trump is innocent.
Ah. Ok. I guess I don’t see that. I thought it was just a sense of being confused and flustered.
This is so spot on. I remember back in the day, before I became self aware, when I would use gestures and words, towards people I considered to be attacking me and degrading me, that my gestures where totally designed to highlight THEIR greatness, and accomplishments, and how right they were to be MY "enemy".
She has emphatically denied that.
He’d be a good author with an editor. He has a funny way of putting things
Can we stop with the nonsense? Trump KNEW Serge (despite lying about it) and even did one on one interviews with Serge in Trump's office in Trump Tower.Serge worked for the NY Daily News in the 80s, so he interracted with Trump often.
