Did Donald Trump Mock a Person?
I saw the video and listened to the media narrative claiming that Trump was mocking a reporter’s handicap. Accompanying the narrative was a still photo of the handicapped reporter next to Trump’s hands and wrist.
"If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence." -- Bertrand Russell, in "Roads to Freedom"
The media narrative that Trump was mocking the person’s handicap was widely distributed.

Donald Trump Criticized for Mocking Disabled Reporter
What caused the media onslaught? I believed the force applied by the media had a back-story. What brought out the media's big guns? As Paul Harvey would say, “The Rest of the Story”. What made this an issue? Why would he mock a person’s handicap?
Then this narrative appeared.

And then this.
Media Invented Lie About Trump Mocking Disabled Reporter
My conclusion is this.
1 - Trump said that he saw reports of people celebrating the 9/11 attack.
2 - The Washington Post newspaper accused Trump of lying by asserting there were no such reports.
3 - Trump’s reaction was to locate an article reporting people celebrating the 9/11 attack, ironically published by the Washington Post, the very entity that accused Trump of lying. The reporter in question wrote the article published by the Washington Post.
4 – The media orchestras and presented a deceitful narrative
Compare the words Trump is saying with the media narrative of what he saying and doing. The media narrative focuses on his arm movements instead of his words. Trump’s words are mocking the reporter’s poor memory, not the reporter’s handicap.
Shame on you.
It was a journalist right?
Nobody cares except bleeding hearts and the victim class who hate DT anyway.
We don’t have journalists anymore.
We have presstitutes.
Some of them are even funded with taxpayer money. (See NYS and CA)

Just when you think you can't loathe them more...
Now some Judge is ordering the Army to release the records of President Trump’s visit to Arlington at the invite of the Gold Star families.
No, no one cares and is changing a vote based on nonsense at this point.
It bothers supporters of Trump who let it get to them more than anyone else.
don’t care if he did

Gawd, I hope so. Rumsfeld’s press conferences were epic!
Why post this old bullshit? MosesKnowsTrolling
Why are you posting this debunked garbage?
That was years ago, the reporter is a libtard, and nobody cares.... still.
Why is this the big vanity news post of the day? All it can do is harm.
Just yesterday you posted another vanity as to whether or not Trump was a racist.
You’re up to no good, throwing stink bombs and pretending to innocently discuss them. But you are throwing stink bombs and you know it.
Before I mock you do I have to ask if you have a disability? I do have to say that in this instance, MosesKnows diddly shit about this forum and its members.

Delete this thread. It gives ammo to the enemy.
This old lie again?
No. He was not mocking anyone’s disability - he was imitating one of the following helpless creatures:
A bug that got flipped in its back and can’t right itself
A turtle that got flipped on its back and can’t turn over
An infant in a crib that is helpless and pathetic.
A drowning person frantically trying to stay above the water.
Etc..
And none of these examples involve any disability - unless you consider panic and fear and flailing around to be disabilities. The idea is that they are helpless and pathetic - they are panicking and flailing.
