Trump mocked the reporter, but he didn't mock him for his disability. Trump uses the same mocking motions all the time [1], but The New York Times, decided to freeze the image and write a story to say he was specifically mocking the reporter's disability. Big difference. And it worked, because so many people believe it. But it was a lie plain and simple. That's why so few people trust the media any more.

Memo to somebody: A refutation talks louder than a downvote. See GabrielF00's reply to sparkzilla's earlier comment to see how it's done.

  Y'know what works better than a downvote, or a "refutation"? Actual video that shows that Trump has mocked multiple non-disabled people in exactly the same way. Which means that he did not specifically mock the reporter's disability, and that the NYT story and freeze frame was manufactured to lead gullible and easily-led people to believe that Trump is the kind of guy who mocks the disabled. What a monster! So watch the video and decide what you are going to believe -- your own lying eyes, or the narrative.

    This is the comment I had to read in order to finally understand the point you were making. I saw the video of the alleged mocking you are now calling into question, and the one about seeing people in NJ celebrating months ago. For me, hearing him say stop-and-frisk was a good way to police was enough to end my interest.

  Some things aren't worth the electrons it takes to refute. As it is, even a downvote generates a request/response, and even that is a questionable use of such minimal resources.

  "Oh, come on" will never be a refutation of anything. That phrase, along with "oh, please," "you can't really expect me to believe," and "you can't really believe" doesn't have any place in a reasonable discussion.
