I somewhat enjoy his uncanny ability to turn everything into a dick-measuring contest. I was cracking up when I read that earlier. Ultimately it's just grandstanding on both of their parts so it's mostly meaningless.

Not being outraged by Trump is now considered defending Trump.

It's the same logic sjws use to label people misogynist for not liking TLJ. Identity politics makes people stupid

Remember how consistently outraged conservatives left-leaning centrists were at Obama for making jokes at Press Correspondents' dinners and appearing on comedy talk shows? Man, I guess he should have been joking about nuclear weapons. Shit's hilarious!

On a probably unrelated note, NK has chosen today after 2 years of silence to re-open its border hotline with SK.

It's being considered a diplomatic breakthrough and the first signs of a thawing relationship.

Knowing that there's zero chance of anything happening is what keeps it funny. Neither participant is remotely interested in going to war and even leftist sources note that the odds of it happening are infinitely less than people think (contrary to their own scaremongering at times)

Are you seriously comparing military bluster -- which all presidents engage in, to some degree (albeit not always with humor) -- to mocking handicapped children purely for lulz? Otherwise, you're using the spoiler system wrong, you're using the term "outraged" wrong, you apparently read previous discussions wrong, etc.

I had to use spoilers because GameFAQs won't let me do strikethrough. And you know exactly what I'm talking about. Conservatives would find any excuse to point out anything "unprofessional" about Obama, but Trump exudes unprofessionalism every day and now it's cool and funny

idk, making fun of handicapped children goes a lot beyond "unprofessionalism." As for the White House Correspondents dinner, that was non-controversial -- as always -- except for the fact it may have been the final push that got Trump to win.... so Obama's final legacy was helping to put Trump in office.

They won't. They have no reason to. I mean, I guess Trump could be dumb enough to start something, but I think even he (and, more importantly, his advisors) recognize that starting a war on the Korean penninsula would be a catastrophe.

And Kim doesn't want war either - he wants survival. All that he's doing with these nukes is making himself more of a threat to take out. He knows he can't count on China's protection anymore, so this is his way of saying "If something happens to me, there will be unsecured nukes floating around and if anyone's dumb enough to start something, I'll kill 20 million people before you can get to me." Bluster to the contrary, he's not actually interested in fighting the US; he's interested in deterring everyone from attempting any regime change.

Ehh... debatable if it was because of his condition. I've seen lots of people make exaggerated gestures when mocking someone... especially someone they feel slighted them

You mean the manufactroversy where Erik P claimed to have a photo of the two meeting which confirmed that Trump knew the man was handicapped? Otherwise the claim is based around Trump gesturing when talking about somebody, something Trump does all the time. And, of course, Trump criticized the reporter for his critical coverage(ie, exactly the same he's done to other reporters). Remind me what handicapped kids did to Obama?

Trump is slightly disabled but not as much as Hillary is.

So let's see them, then. Because I couldn't find any.

Surely if he does that all the time it shouldn't be a big deal for you to dig up some proof of it, right?

We are now more than a year past the 2016 election. You can stop talking about Hillary now, because that's the last time she was relevent.

@Mead Again, go to ANY speech where Trump mocks somebody while using exaggerated hand movements and body gestures. If you can't think of any examples, you've never watched a Trump speech. Otherwise, what's your alternate theory here exactly? That Trump went out of his way to research a person, dig up videos about him (ones that may not even exist) which he studied, and then used them to mock him? For what end, exactly? And you can also explain why this time and this time only is different from all of the other time he gestured while mocking somebody.

Trump gesticulates non-stop. It's like saying that you've never heard Trump ramble off-point. C'mon, son.









My favorite is "Karate Trump"



And, if you actually watched him talk for once, you'd see much of the same. But hey, he's a politician and a New Yorker.

And that's all the time you're going to waste tonight, but feel free to keep making up bullshit claims you never verify then asking others for proof you could find yourself, Erik... Mead.

Zeus, you spent all that time finding those pictures instead of just linking a single clip where he mocks someone with those same gestures, which you claim is in every speech.

That doesn't say anything I'm sure

Hmm. Weird that all of those "gesticulations" look pretty normal and none could be mistaken for mocking a disabled person. I wonder why...
---

Believe it or not you can't easily google a video clip of every waking moment of trump's life but I maintain that I've seen countless people mock people they disliked in a similarly obnoxious manner. Should a president do it... probably not but I've seen people mock non-disabled people in a similar fashion because people tend to wanna make the people they're mocking look like idiots

The idea that Trump ever does his gesturing in the exact same sequence each time is silly. Otherwise he's used a million gestures in his speeches. Feel free to look through them. Go nuts.

I just grabbed a handful of results off Google image for an example of his gesturing habits. I'm sure he's not even mocking somebody in like half of those. More importantly, I'm wondering why you're pretending that you've never seen Trump speak... Almost seems like you're trying to push an agenda and manufacture a controversy because you don't like a politician...

Then you really haven't backed up your original claim.

You claimed that Trump makes gestures "like that" (referring to where he's mocking the disabled reporter) all the time when mocking people. We've simply asked you to back up that claim by showing some proof.

Zeus posted...

I don't watch any politician's speeches, much less Trump's, so it would actually be a lie to say I've seen him speak beyond the occasional soundbyte.

That being said, I've never said that Trump doesn't gesture a lot. I don't think anyone in this topic is challenging that. I'm simply pointing out that I'm not aware of him making gestures that look like he's mocking a disabled reporter at any point except where he was mocking a disabled reporter.

But if you actually watch Trump's speeches, then by all means, prove me wrong. I've already admitted my knowledge on Trump's gesturing is far from encyclopedic.

Zeus posted...

If it seems like I'm trying to push an agenda, it's because I am. My agenda is that Trump is a terrible politician that is causing real, measurable damage both within the United States and beyond its borders. He needs to be stopped, so the more attention I can draw to his failings, the better. If you didn't know that about me, I'm sorry for not being more forward with it; I just sort of assumed that people would pick up on these things.

As for "manufacturing a controversy", Trump is the last person in the universe I would need to do that with; he is highly adept at creating them on his own.

@zeus yeah him pointing while talking or pretending to hold a gun is hardly the same thing

You already know that though, thats why you cant find a clip of him doing any kind of similar motion while talking about someone without a physical disability. Because you know youre wrong.

As usual.

It's funny that Zues keeps using this example of handicapped children with Obama, almost knowing that the example of Trump mocking the reporter would be brought up. I wonder if he gets off on being humiliated about Trump. After all, Trump supporters have a pretty big persecution complex and can just tell themselves the big evil libruls are trying to keep them down!

Anyways, the regular lack of professionalism goes well beyond that. Trump doesn't even talk/tweet like an intelligent person in general... not just the content, but the odd sentence structures and frequent spelling errors. Imagine seeing this dude and thinking you made an intelligent choice in voting for him

Except no, that wasn't the claim. I said that he makes crazy gestures while mocking people on a weekly basis. As for my source, it's Trump.

Again, what's the alternative claim here? That Trump not only knew that the man was disabled but that he studied videos of him (which likely don't exist in the first place) in detail so he could know how to imitate him? Occam's Razor cuts through your bullshit argument. Trump constantly gestures, especially when mocking people. There's nothing here to suggest that it was unique and I have to question your motives if you're buying into this manufactroversy.

Then your agenda and method both suck, especially given that you cite measurable evidence instead of taking the route of the people whose viewpoints you're parroting have enough sense to claim "immeasurable damage" so they don't have to prove shit, a judgment that you apparently lack (most likely because you're parroting their views rather than holding your own). Your entire approach is emblematic of the partisan hackery which has divided our nation for roughly 20 years now.

@Mead There are a million crazy poses out there. If you want to dig through his speeches to find them, feel free to. You'll find PLENTY of similar motions although it might take a while. However, I'm not going to fall for any more of your shit-tier trolling designed to waste my time looking. I grabbed a handful of the top results from a Google image search which show just some of his variety and demonstrates the fact he constantly gestures. Meanwhile, you have utterly failed to provide any reasoning to your claim that it was somehow deliberately mocking a handicap. Stop trying to be Erik 2.0 with your persistent, irrational, and nonsensical anti-Trump claims.
