Why would Trump mock a reporter's disability and then deny he did so?

[JimH52]

Well, if Trump does become president it will at least be entertaining.

and nauseating....

I think he'll be very unconventional and different than anything America has experienced so far. He will break all the norms, that's for sure. He's already accomplished that in his candidacy.

Wait

It makes more sense if Trump stands his ground. He campaigns on being politically incorrect, so why try to do the PC thing of apologizing?

There is a difference between being PC and crossing the line into sophmoric, repugnant douchery. A grown man, running for the Presidency, mocking a person with a disability is unconscionable.His resistance to the idea of an apology is even worse.

All he had to say was hey, it wasn't my intention to mock that reporter and I apologize if he felt that way. Done.

We don't teach our children to behave like he does so why do his supporters accept it?

 

[paulitician]

I fully endorse his stance of restoring the Law of the Land and securing our border. That stance alone, gets him my vote. This latest attack on him petty and stupid. So many real problems to be solved.

Trump will pile-drive those criminals!

Restoring the Law and securing our border is a noble goal. Most Americans have had enough of Illegal Immigration. It's time for an end. And hey, it's not like you were gonna vote for a Republican anyway. So i'll go ahead and call Bullshit on your faux outrage. Have a nice day.

Why does he have to apologize for something he didn't do? He already said that isn't at all what he was doing.

I have been practicing Trump's technique of total denial, in spite of overwhelming evidence. It works on really dumb people!

I did not post this message.

It was one of your interns.

False Nazi comparison? Not a good idea. Were terrorist groups sending their terrorists through an influx of refugees into Nazi Germany?

So you do think we should have a database of all the Muslims in the United States and make them carry Muslim ID cards!

For people to suggest that government discriminate based on religious beliefs is so illegal and so unconstitutional, I'm surprised anyone would suggest it. US code 18 U.S.C. § 245 makes it clearly illegal. The courts have ruled on similar cases and found them either in violation of federal law or the constitution. In addition, many states carry language in their constitutions and state laws which makes it illegal.

Violation of the rights of American citizens in the name of safety is just plain cowardliness.

 

[Pogo]

Seems like leftist whackjobs have cornered the market on fake outrage, and have managed to pass it on to bullshit fake outrage movements like "Black Lives Matter".

"Fake outrage."

Issuing ID based on religion? Good idea.

False Nazi comparison? Not a good idea. Were terrorist groups sending their terrorists through an influx of refugees into Nazi Germany?

^^ calls "false comparison" and then .............cites his own false comparison.

Can't make this up.

But now he gets to demand that USMB apologize for it.

Same thing.

Faux Outrage of the week. But i'm sure Hilllary and her Communist/Progressive Media sycophants have many more to roll out. What's it gonna be next week?... 'TRUMP HATES PUPPY DOGS!!!' Or... 'TRUMP HATES BABIES!!!'

Stay tuned...

Excellent. Having been called out for deflection, he counters with.... deflection. This guy just keeps ya guessing.

The deflection started with making fun of trump as a "beacon of honesty". Keep up.

Except that's not deflection at all. It's actually what we call the "topic".

Yes, so it isn't a deflection to point out that if Trump is being accused of being dishonest (politically incorrect, actually), while you guys are willing to totally glossy over all the lies and betrayals by Obama and Hillary. It's just giving you some perspective of the hypocrisy of the left.

You just doubled down on your own deflection, and you're too dense to discern it.

How's that for alliterative dysfunction....

Neither "Obama" nor "Hillary" nor anyone else has jack squat to do with this. The man committed a rhetorical faux pas, or however you choose to characterize it. He did that by himself; no one forced him. But that's not the point.

The point here is that AFTER having done that he DENIED HAVING DONE IT. Even though it's clearly on video.

How else does this exist?

​

-- what the hell is that, some kind of photoshop? Is that some comedian impersonating Rump?

Once again, neither "Obama", nor "Hillary", nor anybody else in the word, forced him to deny what's sitting right there in a video image. It EXISTS. And you cannot just declare it doesn't and make it go away.

So your desperation to bring in all sorts of people -- who have never done the same thing anyway -- is nakedly transparent and a testament to the blind sycophancy pants you wear.

"Sycophancy pants" -- I kill me..

And by the way --- nice knee pads, jellyfish.

I don't see any mocking of a handicap, just a general mocking expression of someone who's trying to bullshit their way out of someone they said 15 years ago.

UmHm.

Don't know what frequency you're listening to but these outrages don't come from Hillary or the DNC or the RNC or the media. They come from ---- Donald T. Rump.

I keep tellin' ya, all you need to do to bury Rump is (a) give him a microphone and (b) start recording. Now with new video technology® --

​

Now this one doesn't even need audio. Although I wondered if somebody could dub in Peter Gabriel's voice going "I don't remember... I don't recall". It would fit. Not worth my time but there's a project for somebody.


Just remember to click your heels together three times and repeat ... "this never happened... this never happened" until you actually believe it. It is an unevent, Comrade. And what's more, we have always been at war with Eastasia.

Go back a few posts, you will see Trump make the same hand gestures mocking Bush and other opponents.

Oh yeah he'll break all the norms all right. Without an ounce of professionalism, experience, and basic emotional maturity required for the job, he would put America in a cluster fuck in more ways than one. It blows my mind you people can't grasp just how awful this goober actually is.

Nope. Not the same gestures at all. Not even close.

Do you even realize how pathetic it sounds to actually deny Trump did this? Because he simply denies he did mock him that is enough for you to agree it never happened despite video evidence of the contrary? My god, if a democrat had done this you people would not shut the fuck up about it and you know it.

Trump as president would be extremely prone to embrace uninformed positions that would turn into major embarrassments for himself and the nation. For example, his promotion of the "Obama isn't a U.S. citizen" myth, his promotion of the anti-vaccination myths, and repeated comments that give the appearance (correct or not) that he doesn't check facts or stay informed about serious issues. As a candidate, he's entertaining. His no nonsense style, his bravado, stubbornness, lack of understanding of government, and political incorrectness are refreshing. However as president, that would be a disaster. His liberal interpretation of the facts would probably get him impeached.

As president, he would need a strong backing of the political establishment which he has purposefully alienated himself. Outside of a few state legislatures, and one congressmen, there is hardly anyone in government endorsing him. By contrast over a third of the Republicans in congress have endorsed Trump's opposition.

Every illegal immigrant Trump catches, he'll personally give him/her a suplex!
