I think a guy like Trump can have it both ways: he can keep bashing them, but he doesn’t need to do it with this particular kind of humor: he has plenty of other tools and he’s good with all of them. A lot of people (ie: voters) are just going to be turned off by making fun of characteristics the individual has no control over and which rightly deserve a sympathetic understanding by people of good character. Don’t get me wrong: the reporter may be a jerk, may be doing a hatchet job, may be a hack or may be outright lying. That’s plenty to ridicule without making fun of a handicap or nervous disorder.

He's trying to say......this does not effect what comes out of your mouth.

I didn't know the guy had a joint disorder ( I see one bent wrist)and no one else did either....until they were told.

My friend's wrist is like that. He has arthritis. Yes, it's that bad and he can hardly walk. Age 68.

When I first saw that section of the speech on video, I was put off a bit.

But after thinking about it, I realize that for us to destroy the PC culture, we must really stop being PC in any way.

That means saying that some Jews have big noses (and some don't), some Italians reek of garlic (me too sometimes), some Christians are ignorant rednecks (but some are intellectuals), some people are short, some tall, some talk funny (hell, we all talk funny to someone).

Anyway, you get my point. Trump reminds us that if we want PC dead, we must stop being at all PC. It's all or nothing.

Trump is gonna be Trump. He is not going to be PC to anyone. That means he is going to be insulting to everyone which translates as "don't be so damn sensitive. Buck up, insults are not gonna kill you."

How on earth would Trump know what this guy looks like? For God’s sake, the article was written in 2001! Did you watch the video? He was imitating the nervous gestures of someone who was just outed and having a little meltdown. It was funny and inoffensive.

You are the same folks who got all hysterical, probably, when Rush imitated Michael Fox - when he was unaware of his illness.

And personally, Charles Krauthammer can take all the knocks available. After all, libs call him Dr. Strangelove - who he does resembles slightly.

Then they deserve the Sodom and Gomorrah that's going to be served up to them by the PC Lefty Media and the Uniparty.

And there won't be any Safe Spaces left for them after the Left gets done.
