So you not only don't see a lack of empathy in Trump, you truly do not understand how other people can see a lack of empathy?

Are you that sold on the Trump brand that any criticism has to, by rule, be unfounded?

He makes himself look like one. Every time he's not on a teleprompter he says something stupid. Every time.

And Trump care some but he makes it crystal clear who he cares about the most.

Trump Cares (scale of 1-10)

Himself - 10

Ivanka - 10

Other Family - 9

Rich Friends - 6

Poor white people who vote for him - 4

All other white folks - 1

Non-white folks - 0

I have seen Trump express regret for things that have happened before, and I have seen him one on one with people. Ask those people about the meeting afterwards and they speak in good terms.

You see what you want to see. No matter what the man does fault is found. I do agree at times he could choose his words better, and has a problem at times expressing what he really means, but he is NOT some uncaring a-hole and you know better.

Criticism is one thing, but constant never ending criticism for every breath the man takes is something else.

And there are those in this very string guilty of it. Democrat Uber Alles.

I don't think he lacks empathy though. Otherwise he wouldn't have been able to be successful at making deals and negotiating, which would be quite difficult if one couldn't empathize. But that may make his words and actions more disturbing.

I love throwing this out to Republicans- Can you imagine the field day yall would be having if he were the Democratic President?

The only time I specifically remember him conveying regret solely place it on himself was when the access Hollywood tape leaked. And that was noteworthy because it was rare, but he basically had to and looked terribly uncomfortable.

Usually when he expresses regret, he puts as much blame on someone else as much as possible. Like "I regret hiring you because I wouldn't have if you would have been honest. So I can't be at fault for hiring someone incompetent, because that person mislead me."

Of course not every person or interaction is negative. He looks favorable on anyone or anything that supports his needs and what he wants to hear. Just like Crooked Hillary was good enough to invite to his wedding before she was his political foe.

I think a better judge is how people who dare hold something other than the singular goal of benefitting Trump view him.

Dang, you're right. Your picture of Obama on a bicycle is way more embarrassing, on a national level, than the standing POTUS being audibly laughed at while delivering a UN Speech.

Or being openly criticized by other world leaders.

Or re-tweeting confirmed twitter bots and trolls because their message stokes his ego.

Or being caught on tape talking about grabbing pussies.

Those things surely pale in comparison to a president caught on film while riding a bicycle in an non stylish way.

The scrutiny of his words is a bit ridiculous. His tone was obviously respectful and pleasant. His phrasing was odd, but look at the reactions of the people in the room. They knew what he meant.

Budget comment was a bad joke. He smirked. Nobody else did.

Katrina reference was meant to be a compliment of how they were handling things on the ground.

Throwing paper towels in the wake of a disaster doesn’t necessarily look good, but everyone in there was smiling. He was goofing around with them.

People need to get a grip.

Yeah...in case you haven't noticed, Trump really does not give a single frick about any of those globalist clowns and all their clubs where we pretty much do all the heavy lifting. Also, nothing wrong with grabbing pussies, but that picture can't be undone. If you think he should be kissing PR arse or something...your misinformed. Nobody gave a single frick about PR til a few days after Irma and the liberal media found that Cruz bitch and made up a bunch of BS...printed t-shirts and Trump was having none of it...sorry...you seem pathetic.

Well yeah... 16 people vs. thousands. Like in his quote. Which you failed to include.






Let's rearrange his quote a little and see if you still agree.


quote:

Fifty-nine people versus in the thousands,” Trump said. “You can be very proud of all your people.”

Like this POS? I'd much rather have someone who calls as he sees it...even if it hurts your feelings, than some disingenuous prick who acts "honorable" as he/she looks straight at you smiling while lying their asses off?
