[QUOTE="iluvatar5150, post: 73583474, member: 313046"] Trump mocked a reporter who also happened to be disabled, and he mocked the reporter with motions that are typically used to describe someone as being handicapped. The motions he made weren't unlike those made by the Timmy character on South Park. Now, if you want to argue that Trump didn't deliberately attack that reporter for his disability, fine. I don't buy it, but for the sake of argument, let's suppose there's some plausible deniability in there somewhere. Either way, he still mocked somebody by using a gesture that uses a handicap as a punchline. It's not unlike the time Obama described his own poor bowling as being on the caliber of the "special olympics". He wasn't trying to insult people with handicaps, but that's what he did.
