    Sociopath. Even if you hate the guy, if you’re a public figure like trump, the least you can do is muster a bit of empathy.

    But he can’t, because he can’t even fathom the concept of empathy. It’s completely foreign to him.

    Electing sociopaths is how you get war and genocide, as we’ve known for millennia. And we’ve given a total sociopath the levers of genocide, both abroad and at home.

      Not that I think he had much in the way of empathy prior to this, but he lacks a filter of any kind which is a symptom I had to repeatedly apologize for when my grandfather’s dementia got worse.

      The dude has full on dementia, no one is doing anything and he will continue to degrade both himself and the reputation of anything associated with him as this keeps going.

      Funnily enough, dipshit donny might be the best publically perceivable evidence of the need for reform we will ever get.

        Despite his many crimes, I am nearly sure Joe Biden has done more to deserve respect than you ever will.

        Respect and derision are not the only choices.

        e: for example, failure to even acknowledge is a deeper social slight. But that requires a bit of sophistication.
