Only slightly hypocritical that he likes to mock people for their physical appearance...
It is not by definition a line, though i can understand how you can define it so.

Used in context the latin word we use today refers to a judging on something or someone with respect to the image that is shown. Doesn't have to be linear.
Don't know why you have ardently correct people on definitions and argue semantics, not relevant in this conversation about trump. Peoples political opinions on the matter are, which is what was being discussed. Saying a linear representation is as equally redundant as a multi-dimensional representation is ridiculous, as it is those extra axis which define more views and characteristics of the individual, though i agree that an x and y graph wont cut it for the amount of stupid out there.
used to classify something in terms of its position on a scale between two extreme points.
Taken from your link:
Two points.

tl:dr
Trump makes ludicrous claim to thousands of Muslims in NY celebrating 9/11 from their rooftops while they enjoy the show. Obviously claims are baseless and he reference a quite clearly trash article in 2001 as 'proof' of this. A reporter calls him out on this claim and he tries to discredit him in a vulgar and offensive way.
.
Mr Trump performed an impression of Serge Kovaleski, who suffers from a congenital joint condition, at a rally.
He has used a 2001 article by Mr Kovaleski to back up widely disputed claims that "thousands" of Muslims in New Jersey celebrated the 9/11 attacks.
Referring to*the 2001 article*(published by the Washington Post) at a South Carolina rally on Tuesday night, Mr Trump called Mr Kovaleski "a nice reporter".
"Now the poor guy, you gotta see this guy," he continued, before launching into an apparent impression of Mr Kovaleski, waving his arms around with his hands at an odd angle.
Errr the BBC article says that the disabled journalist is the one who wrote what you call the "trash article" not someone who called him out on it
oops my bad, i read a different article but linked BBC, so must have been some misinformation but the main backbone of the story is the same as DM stated. The article was trash and if anything it adds to discredit the article if you consider the authors reaction. The author called out Trump on his misinformation and was ridiculed harshly.
He's a grade A **** as is anyone who votes for him. Scum of the earth.
