It makes sense—that Donald Trump lacks empathy and compassion. There’s probably a whole host of developmental reasons for these deficiencies. All his kibitzing with and admiration for Putin and Xi and Un and Orban have probably helped mold and shape a temperament that was already in the shitter, along with giving form to the way he “leads” here at home.
We’re looking at someone who is incapable of caring about anyone other than himself. There is no shred of decency in his being, though Natalie Harp may beg to differ.
Most of us expect a certain level of humanity to be present in the person elected to the presidency, but there is none to be found in Trump. He is merely—and tragically—a loose cannon and a mouthpiece for the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025.
His wheelhouse is self-preservation and loosing litigious mayhem, and it is an astounding thing to think that anyone could actually like or respect him. His Sell By date has long passed, and he’s starting to get moldy. The deterioration will likely advance quickly.
