I have a tough time excusing a man who mocks and makes fun of a handicapped person.

It's too bad that you fell for that false accusation.

It's been totally rebutted.

Suffice it to say that Trump has made fun of non-handicapped people using the exact same gestures. Not recalling that this reporter was handicapped, Trump certainly made a bad choice, but, factually, it wasn't what it seemed to be.

There's more detail to the refutation than what I've summarized, but it is patently false that the video you're referring to depicted Donald Trump making fun of a handicapped reporter on the basis of his handicap.

I leave it as an exercise to you to confirm the remaining details.

Vote Trump!

I watched Trump make fun of the guy when he did it, I didn’t fall for anything, I saw it. It has absolutely not been refuted, he DID IT, plain and simple. There is no excuse and if people don’t want to have sympathy for a handicapped person, thats fine. But have the sense to realize that when Trump did it, and if nothing else, it showed extremely poor judgement for a person running for POTUS. Not everyone can be beuuutttuuuiful and a little bit of compassion goes a long way.
