Can you imagine Trump in this situation? A young man with Down's Syndrome runs up crying and hugs on him?
Trump would be repulsed and would be trying to get away from the contact. No empathy, no sympathy, no humanity.
Biden has the human qualities we need in a leader.

(12,148 posts)3. All while watching 'The Way I See It' (Pete Souza) - I kept thinking....
...."Donald Trump would NEVER do any of this." Trump doesn't have an iota of empathy, compassion, a sense of fun, love or goodness in him. He wants to lead a nation. A nation is its PEOPLE. But he can not connect with or care about PEOPLE. He just doesn't. He can't. He has no capacity for it. And that - as much as anything else like skills or experience - is why he should NOT be President. It doesn't work. In fact, it's sadistic and abusive.
