I know that there are a lot of Trump supporters here, so I would like to know what they thought the President was doing when he was talking about that disabled reporter? Was that respectful and inclusive to people with disabilities?

He is animated and has made the same gestures imitating numerous people, as demonstrated in the video below.

Claiming he was making fun of the disabled is more fake news created by haters. This proves it. Watch the whole video and pay specific attention around 0.46.

I have disabilities, and see that as mocking disabilities, even if he doesn't think it is, or even meant to. People with disabilities have been mocked or belittled before, and often on that side of the aisle. Never in such brash, and open ways though.

Yet he makes the same gestures about able-bodied, strapping adults, which destroys the "mocking disabled" hoax.

Hi Aimee.....no one should use those gestures to mock anyone...No president should mock Special Olympics....but one did....No one should use the "R" word to mock anyone....but, it's certainly thrown around here quite often, in all kinds of variations, by Many....and very rarely condemned....often applauded...
It's just never acceptable....period...
You know how I feel about that....
(Did you see the link I posted to Al Roker talking about his son and Special Olympics? If not, I'll repost it...;)

Top, do you condemn it when Grind says it? Because I see him writing it all the time.

So you're just another liberal with an attention disorder, where 1 minute seems like forever.

I know, it's so frustrating. Al Roker is awesome! Matt did really well this year. He got first place in the Standing Long Jump!

I hate the R-word. Whenever I hear it, it makes me use the fuck-word, amongst others. :| I know I will get shot down for this, but special needs is the last accepted bigotry.

I have called people out on both sides of the aisle, but I just get called that word, too. I also get called a snowflake, as well. It wasn't here, but I have also had people make fun of my son for having autism, and then get called a snowflake for calling them out on it. Asking people to stop most of the time just makes it worse. People don't care to be nice anymore, sadly.

Thank you! I am a very lucky Mom! He's incredible! He's now officially an 8th grader!

Our school system is awesome! Now, if we could only say the same for the place where we have our in-home supports from. LOL!

Ignore the haters. Some people can only feel worthy by tearing others down. Says a lot more about them than it does you.
