“Just watched the Trump video again and in no way is that an imitation of a crippled person. What is happening is that people are isolating a second of time in which his right arm comes up to chest level and then freezing it. But the video shows both hands flying around in comic fluster and embarrassment.”
Actually the video shows Trump doing spastic movements, not a second of frozen video. See for yourself in the video below.

Not that I care but it does appear to be mocking a spaz and not a random movement.
Some additional info. The guy trump is mocking does not appear to have spastic movements so the mocking isnt very accurate. It is also supplying more ammunition for his opponents if he wins the primary. In my opinion it is STUPID to needlessly give voters reason to dislike you. It gives them incentive and motivation to go the polls and vote against you. Trump does this constantly and it will hurt him in the election, not necessarily with Repub primary voters but with non repubs.
Of course Trump knew his disability - there is no reporter in New York City he doesn't know about. I just saw a film of the reporter put on this thread by a Freeper and the reporter has a spastic disfigured arm and hand that is permanently affixed in front of his chest and it is spastic continually.
Trump has a habit of castigating people with disgusting words or actions and then saying he didn't do it. One example was saying Carson hit his mother over the head with a hammer when Carson didn't hit her. Trump takes a smidgen of truth and exaggerates it into non-truth, then says he didn't do it.
Trump has performed this spaztic move when mocking his detractors in previous speeches. He didn’t just do it for this nyt reporter. He did it many times before.
I just smh how some freepers are defending an anti-conservative nyt reporter.
It’s just so — wait for it — GOPe.
I’ve watched it enumerable times, ok? I don’t see it. You see it because you want to see it. And it’s not nice to call this pure reporter “a spatz.”
