Donald Trump Demands Disabled Reporter He Mocked Apologize to HIM!!!!!

[LongTomH]

If you thought Donald Trump couldn't go any lower:

Trump’s sense of shame apparently non-existent, on Thanksgiving Day he tweeted a statement that called on the New York Times to apologize for “accusing” him of mocking Kovaleski and went on to attack Kovaleski personally for “grandstanding” about his disability.

.............//snip

In part, Trump said, “Serge Kovaleski must think a lot of himself if he thinks I remember him from decades ago – if I ever met him at all, which I doubt I did. He should stop using his disability to grandstand and get back to reporting for a paper that is rapidly going down the tubes.”

There's a video with the article; but, I couldn't watch it.

1. It's unfathomable that some in this country want a character like trump as president. n/t

[spanone]

2. while the President was feeding the homeless, trump was mocking the handicapped. eat it republicans.

3. Goebbels was right. People more easily believe the BIG lie. Trump's followers prove

that they love him even more as his comments and behavior become more and more extreme. He gives voice to their unbridled id.

ON EDIT: He and his brownshirt followers remind me of the narrator of Dostoyevsky's Notes from the Underground. They are driven by the impulse to upset every apple cart, to destroy just for the thrill of doing so.

Edgar Allan Poe called the impulse the Imp of the Perverse. I forget what term the Underground Man uses, but he seems to be describing the same impulse, which also seems similar to Freud's view of thanatos as an instinct that opposes the generative, creative power of libido.

7. The people who follow tRump want to see the world as we know it end. You're correct...

...they want to see everything destroyed just for the thrill.

30. Thought-provoking. I was thinking of Nietzsche's distinction

between the Dionysian (Trump as mad jester) and the Apollonian (Sanders as senex iratus), but Freud's binary is even more a propos, methinks.

4. Dump lives underneath the dumpster. He is the pond scum of pond scum.

He is a sick individual that needs mental help.

[KingCharlemagne]

6. Please stop insulting pond scum (which serves a legit

Biological purpose).

[Rex]

8. Not insulting pond scum, he is the pond scum of pond scum.

No doubt the feces pudding that comes out of Dumps mouth has some biological purpose.

[KingCharlemagne]

10. Ah, point taken and well put to boot! - nt

[Rex]

12. He fertilizes the brains of his followers.

Ewww...

[Eleanors38]

5. We live in the Age of the Punk. nt

9. Trump's proven to be the biggest bag of dicks I've ever seen on a political campaign.

And that's no mean feat.

[KingCharlemagne]

13. Was Agnew this bad in 1968? - nt

[backscatter712]

18. I wasn't around for Spiro Agnew, so I can't tell you. n/t

[spanone]

21. i was around. agnew was a saint compared to the bully trump

[KingCharlemagne]

22. Wow! I was knee-high to a grasshopper in '68 and a tween in '72, so

have no personal memories.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

26. Not even close.

Agnew was just a garden-variety asshole. He criticized political opponents harshly and often with hyperbole (and using alliterative phrases invented by Bat Buchanan), but he never even approached the amazing, weapons-grade assholery of tRump.

[KingCharlemagne]

28. Thanks! - nt

11. So where are the advocacy groups

It's time to give back some heat. I'm going to call a as many as I can and ask what can be done as their group is being humiliated on a national scale.

May be nothing will come of it but I'll feel a bit.better. tRump is ridiculing someone every one knows in our faces. .. Hispanic or disabled.

For instance, a wheelchair and crutches brigade cruising to the podium...in total silence. Is La Raza still around ? Start singing Las Posadas..it's the season.

Just my two cents.


Forget the politicians. They have their careers to consider.

[Lizzie Poppet]

14. Well, the Trumpswab can demand in one hand...

...and shit in the other and see which gets full first.

[packman]

15. I really feel sorry for the people who work for him

Can you imagine the shit they have to endure at board meeting with this cretin?

[Donald Ian Rankin]

16. Am I the only person who feels a certain sneaking admiration for his brazenness?

I cannot help but think of the old joke about the definition of chutzpah being the boy who murders his parents and then throws himself on the mercy of the court because he is an orphan...

[LongTomH]

17. It's a little like Mark Twain finding sympathy for the Devil

Long before Mick Jagger, of course:

A person who has for untold centuries maintained the imposing position of spiritual head of four-fifths of the human race, and political head of the whole of it, must be granted the possession of executive abilites of the loftiest order. In his large presence the other popes & politicians shrink to midgets for the microscope. He hasn't a single salaried helper; The Opposition employs a million.
- Mark Twain's notebook #42

19. "After all, I am from the Privileged Class and he is not."

Such uppitiness.

[hifiguy]

20. I am increasingly afraid that he is bombproof.

There is literally nothing he can say anymore that would cause his supporters to think twice - assuming any of them can even think in the first place, which is a highly doubtful proposition. Little bullies love and look up to big bullies.

[cwydro]

23. I'm inclined to agree with you.

And he knows that everything he says, no matter how abhorrent, just raises him in the eyes of those who admire him.

[hobbit709]

24. I'd give him an apology all right,

"I'm sorry that I made you look like the fucking asshole you are."

[dhill926]

25. my first thought was that this was from The Onion....

sadly, it is true. What an abominable asshole....can't wait for his inevitable fall....

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

27. Just when you think he couldn't go any lower...

I don't think there is a limit. I'm just waiting to see where he goes next. Will he make fun of the bald head of a kid undergoing chemo for cancer? How about Special Olympics competitors? Burn victims with scars on their faces? Amputees?

And why the hell is he getting away with it?

[KamaAina]

29. "Okay, King Combover, I'm sorry you're such an asshole."

Done.
