A large check to her allowance? A nice piece of jewelry from Tiffany? For him to use this horrible time for his own photo op and political purposes is beyond abhorrent.

He is what he is, and is missing, and the more he exposes it to the nation the better.

had the concepts of warmth, compassion, and etiquette in their hearts and minds, which makes each and every one of them greater than you could ever hope to be. In their time of deepest grief, they made sure you were safe and comfortable in their presence...something none of us will feel in your presence.

No matter what you say, no matter what you do, you'll always be one of the lowest forms of the human experience.

I don't mean to be overdramatic, but this response is not the response of a normal human being.

We've spent more than three years rolling our eyes at him, but other than his racist spew, which is by now just reflexive and aimed at his base, this me to is truly the most chilling thing he's ever said.

He is absolutely and literally without empathy. Now, maybe that's because his brain is damaged or he's just missing those neurochemicals... whatever. But it's terrifying that a person with literally no empathy for fellow humans (or anything) is making decisions that affect all of us and especially affect the most disadvantaged among us.

This isn't a funny case of "oh, that crazy Trump, being a huge gaping asshole again." This is truly alarming.
