They spent about a billion dollars showing that clip on TV in political ads for months leading up to the election.

Trump won anyway. The people obviously decided that this was not a disqualifying factor.

I doubt very much that Trump was deliberately mocking that guy's disability. I saw Trump doing the same arm-flailing when imitating Ted Cruz during a debate. Trump is just an animated speaker, who uses a lot of hand and arm motions. I like when he did the imitation of a typical politician reading from a teleprompter.

As for the reporter being disabled, so what? Is Trump not allowed to make fun of him because of that? All I ever hear is that disabled people just want to be treated like regular people and that they don't want to be patronized like they were delicate children.

All of a sudden, that "equal treatment" goes out the window when an opportunity presents itself to bash Trump. Now the handicapped reporter is a little flower who needs to be protected.

also the reporters disability made it so he could not move his arms at all.

trump was making fun of the reporters question, not his disability

But this is how liberals win, they can't make arguments so they go around saying everybody who disagrees with them is insensitive, racist, sexist and all the rest.
