Actually, it is not at all certain that Trump did make fun of the disabled reporter. If one bothers to watch Trump's rally speeches (I recommend doing so with the volume off, so one can focus on the body language instead of the words), one quickly discovers it is his habit to wave his hands and arms around. On the other hand, calling a person suffering cerebral palsy a "cripple" is incredibly insensitive.

Actually he wasn't waving his hands, this is what he said about the incident:
Mr. Trump, whose statement repeatedly criticized The Times, insisted that he “merely mimicked what I thought would be a flustered reporter trying to get out of a statement he made long ago.” He said that if “Mr. Kovaleski is handicapped, I would not know because I do not know what he looks like. If I did know, I would definitely not say anything about his appearance.”
So he was referring to the journalist specifically, his intention for doing so of course are only his to know.
