This is Kovaleski, on the right:
This was Trump's impression:
Here's a look at the two, side by side:

President-elect Donald Trump fired back at Meryl Streep Monday morning after the actress denounced his campaign rhetoric during a speech at the Golden Globe Awards Sunday night. Streep ripped Trump for his obvious mockery of a journalist's physical disability in late 2015, and Trump responded by once again denying that he meant to make fun of the reporter's condition.
[SNIP]
As I've written before, Trump's defense simply isn't believable. Kovaleski, who covered Trump long before the real estate mogul entered politics, has said that "Donald and I were on a first-name basis for years." Trump was undoubtedly aware of Kovaleski's disability.
Trump apologists such as Ann Coulter have claimed that he has mocked other, non-disabled people in exactly the same fashion — supposedly proving that he was not imitating Kovaleski — but their assertions are not supported by video evidence (more on that here). Trump's impression of Kovaleski was unique and clearly specific to him.

It’s a huge lie. Eventually eventually will discover this is a false narrative. Watch this video to see it debunked:

Ambassador Stevens was unavailable for comment.
This istle has the video evidence that Trump mocked other reporters who did not have a disability. Other videos also him mocking Ted Cruz in the same way. Total lie that he mocked the reporters disability.

The voters looked at the evidence, said they didn’t care, so thus the lamestream media goes back to the same old well.
Congratulations, you lost again. Have fun.
Whether he did or not, this is not news, everyone knew it, and Trump still won, anyway.
WHO CARES? How come we are not talking about the uranium Obummer just gave to Iran.
we have had this debate before , and yet the left keeps going back tot he same talking points. Next week he has no paid taxes, week faster it was Russia, weeks after he hates women.
I saw on social media that the left are now blaming Trumps for moving tanks to the NATO line. hey are just to dumb to know that Trump cannot order that , it is their messiah Obama, and now the left hates war again
HYPOCRITES.
The writer is clearly desperate to create his narrative.
The GIF of Trump has him doing all sorts of gestures (something he does a lot in the past ). He then focuses and does a snapshot of ONE particular instance where his gesture just happens to seemingly match the reporter’s disability ( and nope, they don’t exactly match ).
I say he is FORCING IT.
So NOPE, this article is NOT evidence of it at all.
More outrage over this, than over the 4 blacks who tortured a disabled man.
He was mocked because he was an a-hole.
Not because he was “disabled”.
A-holes don’t get a pass simply because they have a “disability”.
Trump punches back. A-holes be forwarned.
...looks like he was imitating Hilda when the balloons fell......*snicker*
DJT is an equal opportunity mocker. All idiotic actions are potential targets regardless of race, ethnicity, or disability.
This is like the Russian story....only one side is written about.
This is the best debunking video I’ve seen:

Nope #fakenews
Freeze frame doesn’t count, you can freeze a person in practically any pose.
Trumps gesture involved motion, the reporter involved can’t move his arm.
Trump was documented to have used this exact gesture when discussing Ted Cruz and other people with no handicap.
Exactly.
Not only that, he lied about his height on his driver’s license!
Man oh man, am I glad to see our intrepid media investigators finding out all about the REAL terrors of the world and not wasting their time on things like a nuclear Iran or foreign policy bribes.
