Honest question: if he intended to mock the disability, why would he use the same hand gesture he has used in the past to mock others without a disability rather than a hand gesture truly resembling the disability? https://youtu.be/CsaB3ynIZH4

So, you think it is okay to make fun of an able bodied person by mocking a disabled person? This is what you continue to defend
@ScottAdamsSays. It's inexplicable behavior on your part. You should be ashamed.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

The “so” tell for cognitive dissonance. I don’t recall saying it’s okay to mock a disabled person. Incidentally, I dont believe it is okay and I’d bet Trump agrees with me.

Clearly he doesn't. Open your eyes.

If you can point to an instance where Trump unambiguously mocked a person’s disability, that’d be helpful for me to understand where you and others are coming from. Until then, to me it just looks like a lot of ppl are being mislead by an out-of-context clip.

Oh come on! That clip is as clear as day. You just don't want to see it. What is he doing if not mocking the disabled?

My only point is that he is not mocking the reporter’s disability: (a) Trump’s hand gestures were not similar to the reporter’s disability (newspapers freeze framed to make it look more comparable), and (b) Trump used the same hand gesture in other contexts

Replying to @NachosJoe @bradweber1981 and
Answer these questions. What is the gesture mimicking? Is the reporter disabled? Is it acceptable to mock anyone disabled or not by mimicking a disabled person? Is accuracy in mocking a disabled person necessary for it to be truly insulting? Why are you defending this behavior?

Just because Trump is not nuanced in his choice of gestures to mock the disabled, doesn't mean that he wasn't mocking his disability. Any way you look at it, this is the behavior of a childish, disgusting piece of shit.

It's weird that you are so eager to imitate him, but you pulled it off.
