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.

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.

Who is Kovaleski? I never heard of him.
RE: Who is Kovaleski? I never heard of him.
That’s what Donald Trump said as well.
The WaPo described Trump's motion as spastic. Spastic means: "a series of involuntary, rhythmic, muscular contractions and relaxations." This is the exact OPPOSITE of the condition Kovaleski has.
WaPo then showed an animated gif which exaggerates the limited motion actually in Kovaleski's hand. That's simply more fake news from WaPo, and is a bald faced lie.
There you go again. Using bs fake news and trying to make us not trust our new president.
You are no better than the lying bs fake news writers who write this post.
Get a job and stop lecturing us! You are truly pitiful!
More distortions from the yellow rag of record. The compost is truly a crime against nature. That even one diseased sapling is cut to make paper for this uncivil worthless rag is an abomination.
RE: There you go again. Using bs fake news and trying to make us not trust our new president.
If you know this is fake news, then you should continue to trust the new President. But I wish you would not follow the example of liberals and ascribe sinister motives to your fellow FReeper.
OoooooWeeee...those “sensitive” LIB asshats. You lose, losers!
It's fake news™ from top to bottom at WaPo.
BTW, I'm writing this as a long-time Trump critic who voted against both Clinton and Trump. As a political skeptic, neither conservative nor progressive, I reckon that the disinformation and outright BS coming from Trump opponents is at least an order of magnitude greater than Trump's BS. I still don't trust Trump, but I am growing to dislike and distrust the Trump-haters far more than Trump.
Who has the hilarious pic of the two puppies in the hallway, captioned”The Russians pooped in the hallway!”?
Here's a link to it from my Facebook page. You can html code it if you want to post it here on FR: https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/15541265_1860400587529434_766346686614502046_n.jpg?oh=c571dbe313b0459294d4d0263457a3f9&oe=591F4B87
That’s better. I don’t have to scroll that one.
Against all enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC. ONLY 1 politician will stand AGAINST DOMESTIC enemies (liars/criminals). HOORAY PE Donald Trump. GREATEST politician/citizen-stepping-up EVER.
WOW!
Leftists are bullies; therefore, leftists are cowards.
(Notice elsewhere how the four blacks ganged up on the lone disabled white boy.)
The Knockout Game is nothing but cowardly intimidation and injury.
Watch this youtube destroy the bs thesis of this post!

Liar, Liar, PANTS ON FIRE!!! You Tube evidence of Trump using the same movements against Cruz and others abound.
Chris Christie, the butt of a zillion fat jokes by liberals, was also unavailable for comment.
Wow ... anyone who hasn’t seen the many many many scenes of him making exactly those gestures mimicking other people being nervous or freaking out have to see that ... yeah that finishes it.
