This seems to be a Trump habit. Check out the video at 16:40 as he talks about Rubio sweating:
Donald Trump Funny Moments --Talking About Rubio Sweating
The spastic position of Trump's right arm in the second video is pretty darn close to the position caused by the reporter's disability. It's a pretty strange coincidence if it wasn't intentional.
I have seen the video in other threads. This hit piece is pure bovine excrement. He was mocking the reporter for backing out of a story from 14 years ago. No way was he mocking the reporter for his disability.
IMHO these left wing reporters need to be mocked for what they are. Also IMHO posting this thread is participating in yellow journalism.
Yes, it’s becoming more clear that Trump most likely wasn’t mocking a disability.
Here’s the reporter (Kovaleski) speaking in an interview (go to 00:40). He doesn’t wave his arms around or speak the way Trump was speaking at all:

The guy is a reporter for the NYT. He needs to get thicker skin or find a new job.
Horrible horrible that Trump would mock those of us with fluid issues.
More importantly, the reporter lied by “forgetting” that he, himself, had reported on the celebrations in 2001. But we mustn’t “offend” someone with a grievance card.
Trump has to send Rubio another case of water. Seems Marco has run out
If the guy was blind they would accuse Trump of mocking the blind. Meanwhile Hillary continues to be coddled and protected even after Bill Clintons rape victim Juanita Broaddrick came out this week outraged that Hillary was trying to pass herself off as a defender of sexual assault victims. Anybody in the MSM focus on that? Of cooourse not! Trump flapping his arms is waaaay more offensive.
I am PRAYING Trump gets a hold of Broaddrick and make an ad with her, has her crying on national TV telling her story. Or better yet, he gets all of Bill sexual assault victims and has them one by one tell how Hillary destroyed their lives

It’s not so much the reporter as it is the rest of the media looking for the slightest little thing to use against Trump and go on the attack.
OTOH, Obama Hillary can destroy the entire free world and they won’t say a thing.
Where was the lefts outrage when Family Guy did a episode making fun of Palins little boy?
It's interesting how times have changed. I Just recently watched the pilot episode of "Ironside" from 1968 with Raymond Burr on DVD. After Burr had been shot and was just getting used to his wheelchair the Police Chief and others had walked up to Burr and he quipped "excuse me if I don't get up" trying to be in good humor, nowadays it's all gloom and doom.
Based on the photos I've seen of the reporter, it looks intentional to me.
Rubio just needs a sip of water
You mean the lying NYT reporter playing fake baby.
Strange that there’s more concern over Trump’s arm gestures, than the reporter in question lying his a$$ off about what he originally reported. Sadly we have FReepers drinking the MSM Kool-Aid.
Good grief the Left plays us like fiddles!

That would be a historical political ad. ;-)
I guess you didn’t get the Memo. If you are “disabled” Liberal (oxymoron) you can Lie with impunity.
Bill Clinton is disabled, he has a bent WeeWee. He can lie about everything and still be the Savior of the Democrat Party.
I have Cancer. I think I’ll Rob a Bank and blame it on my “disability” when they arrest me.
In my opinion, Trump was obviously mocking the reporter. At the same time, in my opinion, the reporter obviously deserves to be mocked. Regardless of what he did or did not report in 2001 (that's a bit hazy, since his initial article didn't technically report that there were celebrations, only that there were "allegedly" celebrations - like a good MSM soldier forced to report on a story that goes against the left's narrative, he wrote it in a deliberately vague and deniable manner), the guy's little trip up to Wasilla to dig up dirt on Palin shows exactly what kind of scumbag he is.
So, in short - yeah, Trump was probably mocking him, but screw him anyway.
