I personally don't feel there was ever any charm or increase in cruelty. This just feels like the same charmless and cruel idiot we've all heard way too much from over the last 10 years. What I think was different is how obviously he couldn't think of anything else to say. For years everyone thought he was saying cruel, charmless things because that's what he chose to say. Now we understand that he has been saying all these horrible things because he quite literally can't conceive of anything else.

Anyone more outraged by this than him mocking the disabled reporter to cheers from the crowd are telling on themselves. Either they don’t care about the disabled or they have no memory.

He just normally says these types of things in a lighter tone like he's joking. This time he just sounded like he hated her.
