Donald Trumps revisionist history of mocking a disabled reporter

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

Great fact-checking by WaPo on this issue back in August of 2016.

You'll see all kinds of BS denials from the cretin's supporters, none of which are credible. A popular one is that he didn't even know the reporter, so could not have imitated him. This and other RW BS denials discredited to anyone not prostituting their conscience to defend the Mocker-in-Chief.

Trump’s explanation in Colorado is simply not credible. First of all, we already confirmed that Kovaleski did not grovel or say he made a mistake. Moreover, Trump actually appears to paraphrase Kovaleski’s brief statement about not remembering that thousands of people celebrated. Trump now suggests he was just imitating a grovel, but that’s not what he was actually doing.

Instead, Trump is clearly imitating Kovaleski’s disability — the reporter has arthrogryposis, which visibly limits the functioning of his joints. Trump claims he did not know Kovaleski, but the reporter closely covered Trump’s troubled business dealings while he was a reporter for the N.Y. Daily News between 1987 and 1993.

1. He doesn't even care that it's literally on video and we can ALL see it.

4. Shockingly post-truth, facilitated by his supporters

who are either complete morons who can't reason their way out of a paper bag, or are deceitful, craven apologists who know exactly how dishonest and manipulative they're being.

All serve to insulate him from the inglorious fate he deserves.

2. And...

And how can tRUMP say he can't remember the reporter? I thought he had the best memory ever!

5. Funny how that works.

It's the best memory because it only remembers what he wants it to remember.
