He’s a racist, a sociopathic narcissist, and a coward, and he’s succumbing to dementia. It’s a little more severe than “neither talented at nor comfortable with expressing empathy.”
Aides reportedly admit in private that Trump is neither talented at nor comfortable with expressing empathy, I guess even Donnie knows he isn’t that good an actor.
You left out “sadistic.”
Crisis actor?
Point taken.
I think he is that, and that he does sow chaos intentionally in order to distract from his crimes–this is a pattern that goes back 30 years. Unfortunately, that kind of learned behavior is retained even as the dementia sets in. He’s not going to stop, even as his mind disintegrates.
Just waiting for the next shiny object to emerge that could take attention away from the terroristic massacre of eleven elderly citizens while in their place of worship and sanctuary. Wouldn’t want to have to dwell on them, y’know.
The key may just be waiting it out — Trump allies hope that in the rapidly changing media landscape, a new story will emerge soon that allows Trump to hit the campaign trail and thrive in his element again.
That will be interesting to watch after Nov 6th.
Where is he going to campaign? Russia
Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooting Throws A Wrench Into Trump’s Campaign Plans
BoHoHo…not all about me, me, me, me…go fuck yourself and take the shank daughter with you.
His MO has not changed one whit since I first met him in the early 90s…
Along with the harlot wife, and scuzbag son-in-law.
I have a suggestion: Perhaps he can just stay at the WH and watch Fox to his heart’s content while eating buckets and buckets if KFC.
This sick man simply cannot fake empathy. It’s the flip side (and Achilles heel) of being hardened narcissist. Hopefully, we won’t hear about ‘‘compassionate conservatism’’ again.
“The key may just be waiting it out — Trump allies hope that in the rapidly changing media landscape, a new story will emerge soon that allows Trump to hit the campaign trail and thrive in his element again.”
Or maybe an old story will emerge, like that guy - what was his name? - who got whacked by the Saudis. What happened to that story?
But it works for his base. They are no better at true empathy than he is. We can see it for what it is, but they see it as ticking off the check boxes on expected words. Job done.

I will admit that I am also hoping a new story will emerge soon… Donald tRump out as president
And wherever did they get the idea that the “new story” that emerges will be an improvement? That certainly hasn’t been my experience these past two years
To his hearts discontent.
