The thing about being a wannabe authoritarian who relies on projecting strength at others' expense is that when something bad happens to you, it's pretty hard to garner sympathy because you've made sympathy for others a sign of weakness

I think he turned off pretty much everyone but the diehards. It's like karmic retribution, and I don't even believe in karma.

there is an obligatory “we’re sorry he is sick, but...”

Lots have harsh light on his utter failure to lead and protect the nation. The condemnation is deep and strong.

I may shed a tear or two if he passes, but they won't be tears of sadness. He has taught me well.

People who don't know better? Sure, I have all the sympathy in the world for them. But someone who is educated enough to know better, but insists on playing "Mr. Tough Guy" and thumb his nose at Science and common sense? Nope. I don't suffer fools at all.

The republicans don’t really care about him, either: Many are reacting more to people who don’t give a shit about Trump than talking about Trump getting better.
