I have replayed it more than once. We are watching the same thing so it is clear that it is subjective. At least one other person agrees that it is not as clear as it was made out to be.

Anyone heard the allegations against Trump?

He obviously feels very sensitive about it when Meryl Streep alluded to it in her speech. She didn't mention him by name, but he still felt he had to 'defend' himself in a very childish manner. Why?

Not as childish as Robert De Niro making a video saying he was a punk, a dog, a pig, a bullshit artist, a mutt etc, and wanted to punch Trump. Trump only said she was overrated.
Maybe Trump hasn’t got time for the liberal hollywood acting fraternity that has tried to drag him through the dirt for their support of warmongering Clinton, and maybe the reference Streep made about the alleged mocking of a disabled reporter at the Golden Globes was in bad taste.
Of course he is sensitive of being accused of mocking a disabled person at the Golden Globes..

Or maybe he's a man child with a thin skin and a high propensity to over react?
Have you ever heard of gaslighting? It's what is happening at this moment and Trump/his team are superb at it

Gaslighting is based on a story/film whereby people deny something in an attempt to amends somebody's view of reality. In the film it was the dimming of the gaslight and the subsequent denial of it that caused the female character to believe that their perception of reality was wrong. It can lead to other attempts to question an individual's perception - it's a tool used by controlling partners in domestic abuse situations.
In the case of trump and to a degree brexit, it's about the constant denial of something that has happened or the post event attempt to create a narrative about why it a situation may have taken place (e.g. it's a joke, I didn't mean that, what you think you saw didn't happen)

Trump isn't manipulating others to doubt their own sanity.
Meryl Streep pulling on the heart strings regarding a matter that is far from conclusive and directed at her President on live national and global TV is underhand. All he said was that she was overrated.

It's funny how he manages to get lots of other celebs of all colours and races on his Apprentice show. Denis Rodman and Latoya Jackson is in the current series and I believe a deaf woman won last years.

Trump and his supporters are trying to get people to doubt what they perceive, believe or saw. Whether it's by their own attempt to promote fake news as well as attempting to spin a narrative.
I'm not saying trump is alone at this but he's certainly the best proponent of it in my view

Correct. The difference between the two movements is stark, a fact which that laughable video actually concedes before wilfully ignoring.
Anyone who tries to deny that Trump mocked Kovaleski's disability is an out an out liar. It happened.

I would argue that it was Meryl Streep who was peddling the fake news, but she is clearly a victim of it as well. She chose the wrong platform even if it was true.
