He just says whatever seems to work at that moment for him, no matter what he may have said yesterday, an hour or a minute earlier.

Example: A mother comes into the room to see the the dog, Fido, has chunks of fur cut out of his coat.

She asks her little boy: "Did you cut Fido's fur?"

Her son says: "No!"

Mother: "Did you cut Fido's fur?"

Son says: "No. I didn't do it!"

Mother: "Are you sure, you're the only one in here, who else could have done it?"

Son: ".....Fido??"


He's a spoiled rich kid. He's never grown up and never will.

Disabilities, show remorse but he does not have the ability to admit his wrong. It was ugly when he did this and his efforts to say he did not mock the reporter is more ugly. Trump is a mean nasty person who will never improve because he does not have the ability to acknowledge his wrongs. This will not stop. Thanks cha for keeping this going.

in facts, Jim.

Have you seen this?

Trump, Trapped in His Lies, Keeps Lying. Sad!

He hasn’t taken office yet, but Donald Trump is lost, wandering in a labyrinth of lies and trying to drag the country in with him.

Witness his reaction to being called out on Sunday by Meryl Streep. Speaking at the Golden Globes, she said she had been stunned and heartbroken to see him mock a reporter with a physical disability.

It happened at a speech in 2015 in South Carolina. Mr. Trump’s target was Serge Kovaleski, of The Times, who has arthrogryposis, a condition that leaves his right arm and hand bent and rigid. “You ought to see this guy,” Mr. Trump told his audience, flailing his own right arm and hand in the air, making spastic movements, disgracing himself. The act was contemptible, and in a way unbelievable: a future president showing the maturity and schoolyard viciousness of an 8-year-old.

“I still can’t get it out of my head,” Ms. Streep said, “because it wasn’t in a movie. It was real life. And this instinct to humiliate, when it’s modeled by someone in the public platform, by someone powerful, it filters down into everybody’s life, because it kinda gives permission for other people to do the same thing. Disrespect invites disrespect, violence incites violence. And when the powerful use their position to bully others, we all lose.”

snip//

Just more lies upon lies. It all goes back to Mr. Trump’s baseless claim that he saw Muslims dancing in the streets by the thousands after the towers fell on 9/11. Challenged over this, Mr. Trump seized on a 2001 article in The Washington Post, written by Mr. Kovaleski when he was a reporter there, that he said backed up his story. But the article did not do that. It merely reported that the authorities had questioned “a number of people” who were “allegedly seen” celebrating the attack. Nothing has ever come of that “allegedly” — there has never been any evidence to substantiate Mr. Trump’s claim, not then, not now. Mr. Kovaleski did not change his story — not “totally,” not at all. And he did not grovel.

Much more @ link.. takes on his "mouthpiece" too..

con-way is left with pleading us to disregard what he tweets and look into where there should be "a heart".

From his curled hand gestures to his affectation of speech to his word choice, Trump was mocking the reporter.

For him to say his actions "showed him groveling" (to show - to illustrate, to imitate, to depict, to copy, to simulate, to demonstrate - all equal mocking when done in the pejorative ) with the word use of "groveling" proving it was indeed meant as a pejorative, meant it to be an insult, meant to disparage. No one says groveling in a flattering manner.

The word usage, the amplified manner of speaking, and the hand gestures combine to prove Trump was mocking the man through the use of exaggerating the man's disability.

Bottom line: Trump was mocking the man by using his disabilities against him.

That's what was in Trump's heart and mind at the time - to make fun of the reporter through the exaggerated imitation of the man's disability.

Fuck Trump and fuck anyone defending his cruelty.

to ask someone to explain it to me.

But, I see from your post that it was in reference to the reporter who was allegedly "groveling" that he mocked.

Couldn't handle getting a bad review even though it's true.

I'd like to see con-way lie that he didn't do it.. ol gish gallop herself.

Then he calls Meryl Streep(a national treasure), a "flunky of Hillary's" because she so eloquently called him out on mocking the reporter.. and steps into serious shite hitting the fan.

that's trumphuck.

Even fox business called him on it..

Fox turns on Trump for attacking Meryl Streep: ‘How does name calling make American great again?’

Trump responded on Monday with a series of tweets calling Streep “one of the most over-rated actresses in Hollywood.”

Trump’s defense, however, was a bridge too far for Fox Business host Stuart Varney and his Monday morning panel of guests.

“How does name calling make American great again?” business journalist Elizabeth MacDonald asked. “Doesn’t that undercut Mr. Trump’s agenda by responding in ways like this?”

“I mean, he demeans himself,” she added. “You cannot expect people to climb on board with agenda when your judgement is so poor in making attacks like that.”

“I got it and I think you’re right,” Varney agreed.

From the way he only wants certain photos of him to be used, to how he wants photos taken - of a certain side.

To how he enters a room - or stage.

All about presentation of his brand.

For an actual star to attack him? Eats away at him.

For actual celebrities to decline his inauguration?

Eats away at him.

If it wasn't so sad for the country, it would be hilarious.

that since the m$m didn't and won't do anything to stop him.. only busy trying to normalize him.. That the Biggest Names in show biz aren't going to normalize him(what a thing to come into our vocab).. want nothing to do with him.. they were all Hillary supporters.

Why the hell would they entertain @ his inaugural.. they pay attention. they are not Low Information voters.

It would be hysterical if it weren't real.. like say in a novel.

trump did mention in a tweet that Rupert Murdoch likes him better now that he's rigged in.. like a gd 6 year old.
