Ann Coulter has released an entire book defending Donald Trump because that’s exactly the sort of thing you would expect Ann Coulter to do. Since Trump has said and done some genuinely indefensible things throughout his campaign, and because Coulter has never been one to shy away from saying things that are what they would call politically incorrect and what normal people with a conscience would refer to as “terrible,” there is a certain morbid curiosity in finding out just how she goes about this task.
One passage in “In Trump We Trust” discusses that time Trump mocked New York Times reporter Serge Kovaleski. An incident that happened so long ago and was followed by so many other abhorrent things you might need a quick refresher on what happened.
Trump obviously claimed he was not trying to mimic Kovaleski’s disability, but plenty of people weren’t convinced. Coulter is not one of those people. In fact, Coulter immediately knew what Trump was doing, and it’s a little impression she likes to call “standard retard”:
Well in that case, I suppose we all owe Mr. Trump an apology.Trump denied knowing that Serge was disabled, and demanded an apology, saying that anyone could see his imitation was of a flustered, frightened reporter, not a disabled person. It’s true that Trump was not mimicking any mannerisms that Serge has. He doesn’t jerk around or flail his arms. He’s not retarded. He sits calmly, but if you look at his wrists, you’ll see they are curved in. That’s not the imitation Trump was doing—he was doing a standard retard, waving his arms and sounding stupid: “’Ahhh, I don’t know what I said—ahhh, I don’t remember!’ He’s going, ‘Ahhh, I don’t remember, maybe that’s what I said!’”
