It’s a sad statement on the modern GOP: the party’s racism is so deeply entrenched, so endlessly sprawling, that even artificial intelligence buckles under the task of cataloging it all.
Did you still consider that Trump mocked a reporter's disability even after seeing the evidence that he had used the same mocking gesture previous to that when mocking others, and after knowing that the reporter's disability didn't involve seizures or spasms?
Why is he mocking disability if he had used the same gestures to mock people without disability - i.e. he was mocking indecision or waffling. Did you not see the recap of those instances?
The gesture is itself mimicking seizures for laughs. That is insulting to people with disabilities. Why are you so invested in defending the indefensible?
Looks like he had a stock way to mock indecision that had been used in prior speeches to mock able bodied people's statements. The reporter in question does not suffer from seizures or any movement disorder.
The gesture itself is insulting. It doesn’t matter that he used to to mock able-bodied people because the gesture imputes disability to those he is insulting. Why can’t you see this? It would be the same if he mocked someone by using a Black accent.
Not sure I agree... if a normally fluid speaker stammers due to stress in a moment, and you mock them for it or point it out to win, I'm not sure I would see that as imputing ongoing disability or comparing them to those with a disability. You would be pointing out their stress in the moment and that they were unable to keep composure.
I was in a business fight at one point, and when my counterparty came into a meeting and was clearly having trouble getting his words out, I took pleasure in it because I knew he had just learned that he had lost. I have described the moment to people, and I don't think I have ever had those with disabilities in mind in doing so.
Yes, because the gesture itself is mocking disability, and he should not have done that when he knew that reporter was diabled. Trump is entirely a boor. He has NO manners whatsoever. He is a bully and you are a bully for supporting him.

What difference does the specific nature of the reporter’s disability matter? Trump mocked disability. His career should have ended right that minute.

A simpler test: ask a Puerto Rican.
Really! Any human would have been better, but ideally ask someone from the place Hinchcliffe was insulting.
