There are no national boundaries for climate protection or the global economy. No religious boundaries, either. The time has come to understand that we are the same human beings on this planet. Whether we want to or not, we must coexist.Incredible, right?
It is incredible because tRump did not say that.
tRump is incapable of saying anything that conveys even a gazillionth of that meaning! It is beyond the sociopath's ability to even imagine that "we are the same human beings on this planet" and that "we must coexist."
It was the Dalai Lama who wrote: "We must learn that humanity is one big family."
The sociopath has no sense of empathy. 63 million--including former commenters here--elected him because of that, and not despite that.
And they continue to support him
One lesson of the last four years is how many people absolutely love having a President who is an extraordinarily horrible human being.— Orin Kerr (@OrinKerr) May 4, 2020
The office of the presidency requires the President to be a consoler-in-chief during such crises. But, the orange monster can only talk about himself. How he has been treated worse than Abe Lincoln was.
Q: Should you change your tone at the WH briefings?— Yamiche Alcindor (@Yamiche) May 4, 2020
President Trump, sitting at the feet of the Lincoln Memorial: I’m greeted with a “very hostile press.” I believe I am treated worse than President Lincoln. No body has ever seen anything like this.
Yep, the narcissist believes that he is greater than Lincoln--a man who paid a huge price of his own life because he wanted to unite the country!
There are many leaders who have been conducting themselves at the highest levels.
The leaders who exude empathy in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis are experiencing surges in popularity. The New York Times has called Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York “the politician of the moment,” noting, among other things, his briefings, which now regularly reach national audiences and are “articulate, consistent and often tinged with empathy.”Articulate. Consistent. Tinged with empathy. None of those will ever apply to a description of this cheeto president!
Empathy has played a pivotal role in American history when presidents feel with, and act in response to, their constituents’ needs. Indeed, leaders who empathize, who relate to and feel with their people can ask them to do difficult things. ...But, don't ever forget that there are people, millions of them, who consider this unempathetic sociopath to be their hero!
It is easier to trust an empathetic leader; their empathy is better assurance than the weak sympathy of a leader who grieves the loss of his own power over the loss of life.
