Clinton Claims Trump is Autistic
TV Commercial | 10/17/2016 | Self

Posted on 10/19/2016 7:59:24 AM PDT by BubbaBasher

This Monday I was watching TV and saw what I thought was an astonishing commercial. It starts with the mother of a handicapped child explaining her sons condition. Then a video of the child is overlaid and shows him flailing his hands wildly. The mother explains that it's a common sign of being autistic. The video then shows Trump explaining something with hand gestures and states he has autism and shouldn't be president because of it. It closes with HRC endorsing the ad.

I was completely astonished. I'm not a huge Trump supporter but this was way over the top.

Nope, but I/we know several folks with autistic children including a niece. So, will the parents of said children go with Trump or will they go with the promise (unfulfilled) by the dems/progs to do something.

Wow! They stop at nothing. We have many friends with autistic children that I highly doubt would appreciate such a commercial or claim. HRC is basically calling them retards.

No, the ad is not claiming Trump is autistic.

It claims he was mocking a disabled reporter:

Are you sure you didn’t misinterpret that commercial seeking to exploit Trump’s alleged “mocking” of that reporter with Parkinson’s disease?

I think that must be it.

Trump is weaponized autism against the machine.

I've seen it and that's not how I understood the ad. The scene where Trump is gesturing with his hands was during a speech where he was making fun of a reporter that has some kind of physical disability.

The mother's comment about autistic children flapping their hands was in reference to her own son I believe.

Nowhere in the ad does it say that Trump is autistic.

I think their point was that Trump was making fun of a disabled person (which he was, let's be honest) and that the mother could not support him because of her disabled son.

Hillary can’t even hold a law license...I doubt her medical credentials, as well.

Huh???

First off, talking with your hands is a sign of being Italian. Everybody knows that.

Second, there's a whole lot of projection going on here. Hildebeeste is mentally deranged. Not Trump.

This should give a lot of hope to parents with autistic children.

There’s Clinton making fun of people with disabilities. Where will her personal media come down on this one?

Hillary insults Parkinson’s or Epilepsy patients by being ashamed of the condition and calling it “the flu.”

Its the usual seriousness of the accusation vs. the truth. It always comes when the election date draws closer.

So she is suggesting all autistic folks are highly capable to the point that they can all wipe a floor in a debate with her and lead a country?

His hand gestures didn’t even resemble the kid’s and the clip was so short he could have been doing anything. There is no evidence of this at all. Unlike all of HRC’s actual seizures and collapses.

Not Tourette’s. Maybe a touch of ADHD. (not a bad thing).

Perhaps she is saying that anyone (including the autistic) can be president.

Therefore she is endorsing TRUMP for Prisident :)

My oldest daughter has Autism and she has Cerebral Palsy, she is married and has been for 20 years, drives her own car, works, and has a 17 year old son...

This is disgusting to think that this ground crawling slime snake would dare to imply in any way that my daughter or anyone else who has problems in any way is a retard, and that is what ROTTEN is doing...

God sends his ‘special children’ to earth for us ‘normal’ people to learn from...and for this formaldehyde slime to even open her mouth on this subject is more than I can bear...

Lord, please justify your displeasure with Hillary ROTTEN Clinton!!!

There is some dispute about that.

Trump has reportedly used that mannerism to mock multiple reporters.

It's about being "flustered", not "autistic".
