As to your question, what I know for a fact was in his vindictive and obnoxious way, Trump was making fin of a guy who criticized him. He made fun of him in a way that he had made fun of another guy in the past suggesting that his choice of mockery wasn't necessarily related to this guy's condition. If you read Ann Coulters's article, instead of just the sentence that suited your needs, you'd see she was making the same argument I'm making, but she used hateful language to do so. Hateful language that you embraced.
I answered your question. Any chance you can show me the same courtesy? using your logic, can I assume it's OK if I use the n-word while making fun of myself? If not, please explain the difference between that, and your defense of what Obama did.
It must be exhausting to have to get so creative, vague, and evasive, instead of simply answering questions and - god forbid - admitting someone else is right once in awhile.

If you read Ann Coulters's article, instead of just the sentence that suited your needs, you'd see she was making the same argument I'm making, but she used hateful language to do so. and if you read any other articles you would see that all say Trump's movement are totally different from what he did w/the reporter and with the general. There are even videos online showing the differences. Hateful language that you embraced.I embrace it only to show what a vile low person he his and that the Trumplicans will do anything to support him regardless of how low he goes.

If not, please explain the difference between that, and your defense of what Obama did.Feel free to make that argument. Most people would disagree.

You're the one who is wrong. You should have just stuck with he says vile things but I like his policies.

"Feel free to make that argument. Most people would disagree"
It was your argument. Not mine
Now you're saying it wasn't you, who said that it was OK to use hate speech as long as you are poking fun at yourself. You didn't say that, to defend Obama's making fun of Special Olympians?
"it was a self-deprecating comment "
"As you were told, it was a self deprecating comment - meaning he was attempting to make a joke at his own expense"
Those are your posts, not mine. So using your argument, is it acceptable for me to use the n-word as part of a self-deprecating argument?
You backed yourself into a corner from which there is no escape.

I didn't back myself into any corner bc most people don't view talking about special Olympics and bowling and using the N word and dancing as the same. Next time you are out to eat say you bowl like a special olympian and then say you dance like a N. Do you think you will get the same reaction?

"talking about special Olympics "
And in what way did he "talk about" Special Olympics? Did he talk about what a great organization it is? Did he talk about how capable the athletes are? Or did he make fun of the limitations that accompany their disability?
You're right, making fun of blacks and making fun of Special Olympians isn't the same. What Obama did is worse, because skin color isn't a disability.
