Nonsense.

Of course Trump was making fun of the reporter.

Let's not have blinders on like Hillary's supporters do. I'll be voting for Trump because there is nothing in Heaven or Earth that would make me vote for the Hildebeast.

But Trump is far from the perfect candidate. He has said and done many things (this incident, saying McCain was not a war hero) that would probably give me good cause to vote for someone else in any other year.

Please watch this video of the reporter in question, Serve Kovaleski, being interviewed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydGOPzW227E and then attempt to explain how in the world you think what Trump did was mocking this reporter? If you can’t explain that (and you won’t be able to), then you should quit spreading bold-faced lies about Trump. As we’ve already explained to you, Trump did not even vaguely act like Kovaleski and he’s made those motions many times before. You know you have zero evidence for your allegation against Trump except for the Dem talking points you’ve heard. Put up or shut up. How specifically did he “make fun” of this actual reporter Kovalesky?

I didn’t say he wasn’t making fun of the reporter. I said it’s possible he wasn’t making fun of the reporter’s disability. There is a difference.

Of course, he was.

But, the question is: was he making fun of the reporter's disability, as the ad claims?

Since Trump has used the same mannerisms to mock other people -- including Ted Cruz -- the answer is no.

You didn’t watch the video, did you?

Trump is on about ten videos using exactly the same gestures, when talking about Ted Cruz, generals, and HIMSELF.

Now I know you’re not just lazy, but a liar.

The necessary refinement is that Trump was not making fun of the reporter’s DISABILITY. Trump has used the same gestures countless times when speaking about many other people—including HIMSELF.

To repeat, without qualification, the claim that “Trump mocked a disabled reporter” is to repeat a Democrat slander.
