Republican candidate Donald Trump has been deemed 'outrageous' by The New York Times after imitating one of their reporters, Serge Kovaleski who has a congenital disability.
The incident occurred during a speech to his supporters earlier this week. Trump imitated him during a speech where he insinuated that 'thousands of people' in Jersey city were celebrating following the terrorist attacks of September 11th 2001.

Kovaleski suffers from arthrogryposis, a congenital condition that affects how his joints move.
This is just another in a series of controversies that have surrounded Trump since his announcement to run in the Republican candidacy race before the election next year.
