Greta... Trump was definitely demeaning him.... but he demeans everyone, so at least he doesn't discriminate.
No Trump was not demeaning the reporter at all. He was calling the reporter out.
This reporter in question wrote about people celebrating the 9/11 attacks in the washington post.
And the reporter claims memory loss that he don't remember seeing anybody celebrating the 9/11 attacks but HE FREAKING WROTE THE ARTICLE.
How is it demeaning to him, calling him out on his dishonesty?
Totally not demeaning.
If he was not disabled, this wouldn't be demeaning at all.
I don't consider it "demeaning" someone if you call them out on their dishonesty.
And here is Trump again doing the same gestures, in impersonating HIMSELF! So he did this to impersonate Ted Cruz, that Sergio reporter dude and now HIMSELF as well. This is Trump. It was not to make fun of the handicap.

And here is Trump again, before he even spoke about the reporter, doing the same gesture impersonating President of the bank. This hand gestures would have perfectly imitate sergio's disability according to that wide spread picture of sergo with his dented right hand. And here is Trump, waving his right like it's dented impersonating a bank president.
But nobody gives a shit about it because the bank president is not disabled.

Greta, it's not exactly the same.
Similar, yes. But not the same.
Compare your link with the one DC gave.
Really have a good look at them.
Then listen to what he is saying.
Not just the what but the how.
When you exaggerate someone's movements (which you acknowledge) with that sort of commentary and that tone of voice - that is demeaning.
He is definitely demeaning the disabled reporter.
More to the point, he is using a tone that highlights the fact he is disabled.
Your lack of education is such that you cannot see it.
There is a fine line between making fun of someone in a joking/friendly way and demeaning/insulting someone.
That is not conveyed by movement and not by what you say.
That difference is conveyed by the tone and other nuances in how you say it.
Even a slight pause in a different place can change the whole meaning of what is being said.
This is what you cannot discern and shows your lack of education.
Just like you can use the same words, in the same order, and depending on how you say it it could be a statement, a question, or an outright insult.
Your sense of nuance is severely lacking.
Grammar is very important in a written medium.
For instance, if you had -
“Most of the time, travellers worry about their luggage” -and-
“Most of the time travellers worry about their luggage”.
Same words, same order. Can you see the difference, Greta??
I'll give you a clue: One says that travellers worry about their luggage most of the time. The other one says that ‘most of the time travellers’ (i.e. people who move through time, as in science fiction) worry about their luggage.
Here's another example: "Let's eat grandpa" and "Let's eat, grandpa".
Without the comma, the whole meaning is changed.
The same goes for what the gibbon says and articulates.
It's not just the what, but the how it is said.
A comma in written medium is represented in speech by a short pause.
How long that pause is, and where you put it, makes all the difference to the meaning.
A fun poem -
Eye Halve a Spelling Chequer
I have a spelling checker.
It came with my pea sea.
It plane lee marks four my revue
Miss steaks aye can knot sea.
Eye ran this poem threw it,
Your sure reel glad two no.
Its vary polished in it's weigh.
My checker tolled me sew.
A checker is a bless sing,
It freeze yew lodes of thyme.
It helps me right awl stiles two reed,
And aides me when I rime.
Each frays come posed up on my screen
eye trussed too bee a joule.
The checker pours o'er every word
To cheque sum spelling rule.
Bee fore a veiling checker's Hour
spelling mite decline,
And if we're lacks oar have a laps,
We wood bee maid too wine.
Butt now bee cause my spelling
Is checked with such grate flair,
Their are no fault's with in my cite,
Of nun eye am a ware.
Now spelling does knot phase me,
It does knot bring a tier.
My pay purrs awl due glad den
With wrapped word's fare as hear.
To rite with care is quite a feet
Of witch won should be proud,
And wee mussed dew the best wee can,
Sew flaw's are knot aloud.
Sow ewe can sea why aye dew prays,
Such soft wear four pea seas,
And why eye brake in two averse
Buy righting too pleas.
