Trump Openly Mocks Reporter’s Disability: To the delight of his audience at a recent campaign rally, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump mockingly imitated the physical disability of Washington Post reporter Serge Kovaleski, who suffers from a rare, congenital musculoskeletal disorder that limits the movement of his arms.
So I guess we can assume that if he’s elected, disability rights wouldn’t be a major priority in a Trump administration. In response to strong criticism, Trump supporters are quick to point out that if he can be successful in bringing open ridicule of people with disabilities back into fashion, it could very well open-up lots of new employment opportunities for the disabled in our country’s circuses and side shows. Talk about being job creators!
Privately, many Republican insiders have been expressing concern that Trump has lately been leaning a bit too heavily on promoting racial hatred, homophobia and sexist bigotry and say its about time he starts attacking the disabled with equal vigor. Apparently its working, because Trump is once again rising in the polls and many rank and file Republicans add that they haven’t seen commentary as biting and spot-on since Rush Limbaugh mocked-out Michael J. Fox’s Parkinson’s Disease symptoms a few years back.
