They saw him do the identical imitation of a general during that same speech. Now consider the media’s role in manufacturing, and then protecting, this lie. Perhaps Trump is not a subtle actor, but he’s utterly innocent of making fun of a disabled person.
He’s like Rich Little that way: All his impressions look the same.
Trump’s impression of a groveling reporter is just like his imitation of a groveling general and just like his imitation of a groveling U.S. If a jury ever saw these videos, it would acquit Trump immediately. Neither the general nor Cruz is disabled. Again, he does the exact same arm flailing. You can see the videos here. In another speech, Trump pretended to be a timorous Ted Cruz. Guess what? He does the exact same arm flailing. Now we have it.Ī group called Catholics 4 Trump has posted a video clip of another part of that same speech, in which Trump imitates a flustered general. I have a chapter on that lie in my new book, In Trump We Trust: E Pluribus Awesome!, It was perfectly obvious that Trump was not mimicking any disability that Serge has, but I didn’t have the smoking gun to prove that the media were lying and knew they were lying. A poll released Tuesday shows this man is the leading GOP candidate with 25 percent support among Republicans in Iowa.Other than the subject of that paragraph - which I slyly switched from Trump to the media - that is an exact paraphrase of the Post’s opening lines from an editorial hawking the media’s most successful lie about Donald Trump: that he mocked a man for being disabled. Last week people at a Trump rally attacked a Black Lives Matter protester while the candidate cheered from the podium. That was not the case, as best as I can remember." When asked about this scene, Kovaleski told CNN, "Much of that has, indeed, faded from memory … I do not recall anyone saying there were thousands, or even hundreds, of people celebrating. While mocking the reporter, Trump was referring to a 2001 story that Kovaleski wrote for The Washington Post, which referenced New Jersey, "law enforcement authorities detained and questioned a number of people who were allegedly seen celebrating the attacks and holding tailgate-style parties on rooftops while they watched the devastation on the other side of the river." Trump's supporters are using this quote to defend his claim that thousands of Muslim-Americans cheered the collapse of the World Trade Center.
"The sad part about it is, it didn't in the slightest bit jar or surprise me that Donald Trump would do something this low-rent, given his track record," Kovaleski told The Washington Post. Kovaleski has worked with Trump for years, having covered the businessman for the New York Daily News between 19. "We think it's outrageous that he would ridicule the appearance of one of our reporters," a spokeswoman for the Times told Politico. "Now, the poor guy - you've got to see this guy, 'Ah, I don't know what I said! I don't remember!'" Trump said while flailing his arms around. He was referring to reporter Serge Kovaleski, who has a chronic condition that affects his joints called arthrogryposis. This week, Trump mocked a New York Times reporter with a congenital joint condition during a campaign rally in South Carolina. Sadly, it wouldn't be a Donald Trump campaign stop without the Republican frontrunner saying or doing something offensive.
