Where did the article say any of that...Trump said he has never met him, didn’t know him, never talked to him...show me the article where it says that...

And don’t ever believe that I won’t stand up to someone being handicapped and the crap they take, I have a daughter who is 52 years old, handicapped, married, has a son, husband, graduated from school, drives her own car, takes care of her own house and cooks her own meals, so if you go there with that....I’m the WRONG person to tangle on this one....

The reporter has stated that he interviewed Trump on several occasions as well as asked him questions in press briefings. He said they had around 12 interactions and where on a first name basis. So, either the Reporter or Trump is lying and it sure looked like Trump knew about his disability and was mocking it. Why else would Trump say, have you seen this guy, and then make jerky arm motions.

Below is a direct quote from the reporter who was mocked by Trump for his disability:

'Donald and I were on a first-name basis for years,' said Kovaleski.

'I’ve interviewed him in his office. I’ve talked to him at press conferences. All in all, I would say around a dozen times, I’ve interacted with him as a reporter while I was at The Daily News.'

I used to work with the disabled and it is a sensitive topic for me, I just think when someone does this it shows a serious character flaw. And I think Trump has a mean streak making fun of people's looks (Fiorina) or comparing someone to a child molester (Carson) I'm starting to think Trump is a mean dude and doesn't have the right attitude to be POTUS.

Taking care of a handicapped relative is hard, you’re doing God’s work. I used to work for a NPO in the Chicago area that helped mentally disabled adults and it was tough work, but it was also very rewarding and I love that organization. This reporter is on record saying he has interacted with Trump and that he knows Trump on a first name basis, looking at the paper trail of articles written by this reporter on Trump I’m inclined to side with the reporter. If this guy refuted an article on Trump from 2001 then shame on him, but shame on Trump for making fun of his disability.
