Journalist Serge Kovaleski is suffering from arthrogryposis.
By Sreejith Vallikunnu
Donald Trump has denied mocking a disabled New York Times reporter in his South Caroline speech and demanded an apology from the media firm for making alleged fake controversies on him.
“Trump does not know anything about the reporter or anything about what the reporter looks like he was merely mocking the fact that the reporter was trying to pull away from a story that he wrote 14 years ago,” a statement released by Trump’s office said.
Trump was alleged of mimicking the reporter, Serge Kovaleski, who is suffering from arthrogryposis, a condition that affects the movement of joints and is noticeable in his right arm and hand.
“Now the poor guy, you ought to see this guy,” Trump had said, before jerking his arms around and holding his right hand at an angle. “‘Ah, I don’t know what I said! I don’t remember!’”
Reacting to the allegations, Trump stated, “Serge Kovaleski must think a lot 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.”
He also added, “In my speech before over 10000 people in Myrtle Beach, SC, I merely mimicked what I thought would be a flustered reporter trying to get out of a statement he made long ago. If Mr. Kovaleski is handicapped, I would not know what he looks like. If I did know, I would definitely not say anything about his appearance.”
The issue erupted when Donald Trump in Birmingham, Ala, said that “thousands and thousands of people were cheering” while the World Trade Center towers fell on Sept. 11, 2001.
In 2001, Kovaleski and another journalist from Washington Post wrote a week after the 9/11 attacks that “law enforcement authorities detained and questioned a number of people who were allegedly seen celebrating the attacks and holding tailgate-style parties on rooftops while they watched the devastation on the other side of the river” in Jersey City.
After investigations, the reports of such celebrations by Muslims proved unfounded.
Trump had pointed to the story to back his claims and took issue with Kovaleski’s recent statement that he did not remember anyone alleging that a large number of Muslims were celebrating.

Forget it! Majority
of American patriots are akin to me and not going to change their minds in
voting for Donald Trump. The GOP establishment must be sweating around the
collar, because they are dramatically dropping in the polls. Their value is ONLY
worth what they can glean from the wealthy providers for their campaigns and
their secret bank accounts. All their consultants are desperate as they are
going to be out of a job. The only possible way they can place their nominee in
the primaries, if they rig the caucuses?
Using a LCC Limited
Liability Corporation, the GOP elites are on the warpath and currently sifting
through Donald Trumps past, slavering over any juicy bit of dirt they can dig
up. They are so desperate that they will no longer be able to control the
country and its populace? That all the prior ‘Gotcha’ questions, or any
mistakes that Trump has made when being placed in rushed interviews and
twisting his statements or just slicing parts of his statements which is
nothing like the original narrative. Using this deceptive format and then
regurgitating in front of the public. The Hillary activists and the GOP
advocates will cut corners and enter the gray side of the law, to orally slit
Trumps throat–whatever it takes?
THERE IS GREED,
POWER AND INFLUENCE TO CONTROL THE LARGEST CONSUMER NATION ON EARTH, THE PRESIDENCY MUST GO TO AN
‘OUTSIDER’ AS DONALD TRUMP–WHO HAS NEEDS FOR NOTHING– AND A FAR BETTER DEAL
FOR THE HOMELAND AND IT’S PEOPLE?
The GOP and
the Democrats are scared stiff of Mr. Trump, as he will cut off the illegal
alien tidal wave; their cheap labor will dry up as with the Left, a vigilant
watch on foreign nationals who might try to vote illegally for Ex Secretary of
State Hillary Clinton. 2016 will most likely be the most important Presidential
race in this century, as under Obama succession Madam Clinton, Harry Reid,
Nancy Pelosi will do just about anything to gain the upper hand including the
trait of a blind eye while illegal aliens vote.
Both
political fronts will do anything to stop Donald Trump, but they should have
thought about this when the Republicans ignored Obamas illegal executive
actions. Prior speaker John Boehner should have begun Congressional action to
impeach this President, to end the overreaching Obamacare and put a cap on the
federal budget. Many Americans have no trust in government and are of one
thought that Obama consolidated a plot with Boehner in silent complicity?
Whether this puzzling issue is true or not, these poorly planned issues passed?
With the
terrible tragedy in Paris, I would keep the Syrians refugees at home. The
majority of Americans and lawful immigrants have the same elementary demand,
that all the unplaced people should be relocated into any safe region in or
around Syria with an inexhaustible supply line of
food, shelter, and health care with a militarized presence. It’s far safer to the alternative of most
likely Jihadists terrorists intermixed with real refugees and the expense will
be kept at a minimum?
Back home,
it’s a fact that the main issue for the main alert of Americans is the illegal
alien invasion that has become a depressive theme, in incessant campaign of
ignorance, which Obama has gone to great lengths to ignore peoples will. This
administration has been in combat mode to steadfastly refuse to place any
enforcement barriers to stop the influx?
Donald Trump
WALL will be an absolute key benefit, if it’s equal to the barrier in the West
bank of Israel? The Israeli wall was 96 miles long Israel’s
barrier is still under construction, but it’s expected to accomplish at least 403 miles in
length. The Israeli wall In addition
to the concrete wall and fencing materials used in the construction of the
structure, sections of Israel’s Separation Barrier additionally include
electrified fencing, roads for surveillance vehicles, electronic ground/fence
sensors, thermal imaging and video cameras, unmanned aerial drones (UAVs),
sniper towers, and concertina razor wire. The Palestinians call it the Berlin
Wall, but it keeps the murdering terrorists out, whereas our Southern border
has hundreds of miles of open land.
Having no indication of how Trumps wall will be
constructed, it will be an immense barrier to stop the welfare invaders, female
slavery, and the drug cartels. While the federal government is outlaying $$
100-200 Billions dollars in social services, which amount of money would build
the great wall of America? How
come we have military in different parts of the world, but we cannot control
our borders?
Donald Trump
has pledged to the American people enforcement of immigration laws, which he
has extended to a massive removal process. Going from door to door and with
special ICE agents, seem even to me the wrong approach as it would cost unknown
amount of dollars and the transport of foreigners out of the country? A more intelligent plan would be using
MANDATORY E-VERIFY against the real criminal, which are the company owners?
Only a few states have recognized that mandatory E-Verify that can succeed,
without the huge outlay?
Blatantly, deportation
has not been significantly enforced, because organizations as the US Chamber of
Commerce, trade unions and the thousands of corporate and Industrial management
have used the wealth of the business world, to buy off many in the Senate and
House of Representatives. Laws to protect or defend our nation from foreign and
domestic enemies have been lax under this government. Removal numbers have been
fudged, as well of the actual numbers of illegal aliens in the United States. It’s a terrible situation when a
population has no faith in their own government, almost in similarity to a
dictatorship.
The US
Chamber of Commerce will try to dislodge Mandatory E-Verify, as it means the
end of ‘Cheap Labor’ and an eventual end to the incursion of millions of
foreigners. Black Americans, Latino Americans, Hispanic Americans, White
American will finally gain access to jobs, better benefits and the welfare
rolls will slowly drop. Only Senior Citizens will who have so much experience,
will once again get hired as well as the younger folk, who completed seasonal
work. There will be no excuse for not finding a place in the work force.
Obama
Homeland Security will become a thing of the past, with a more efficiently to
clean up the corruption in the State Department and the White House. Trumps
first executive order will be to recruit more internal ICE officers, who will
raid daily businesses with suspicious activity. Presently only new employees
are vetted through a poorly operated E-Verify procedure; a major change will
come on Trumps executive planning with the verification of every employee in
any workplace, To reiterate everybody’s Social Security # will be checked, The
application will cross reference with Death records and other data bases. Each
ICE agent will carry a digital portable identifier, which will uncover
deceptive people who are not a citizen, naturalized citizen, or green card
holder.
Millions of
unauthorized workers will have an opportunity to leave the country by their own
recognizance, as jobs will soon become non-existence as employers consider the
reality, that there are harsh punishment for hiring anybody who doesn’t fall
into official worker classification. Unknown numbers of informants will have an
800 number to offer evidence of companies using foreign nationals who have no
right to jobs and collect a reward.
