Media respectfully asks trump about losing his friend Charlie Kirk, and his answer

[senseandsensibility]

says everything, both about the journalist and him.
Journalist: My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. How are you holding up?

Trump: I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years."

[Ocelot II]

1. He sounds heartbroken. He was probably too crushed with grief to talk about Kirk at all,

so he had to steer the conversation to the ballroom construction in order to keep from bursting into uncontrollable sobs.

Right?

[senseandsensibility]

3. Yeah... that's the ticket

[Emile]

25. Yes, that must be it. LOL

[Irish_Dem]

2. Kirk's death means nothing to Trump. Nothing at all.

The only person Trump cares about is himself.

He hates the attention being given to Kirk now and must
drag it back to his nonsense.

[democratsruletheday]

6. That's spot ON correct ID.....

NARCISSIST through and through until his last day on earth

[senseandsensibility]

7. But the journalist is so respectful of trump's supposed "feelings"

and wants to know how he's holding up. I mean......talk about a groveling non question. And if anything, it's meant to add to a narrative that trump and Vance considered Kirk family. That's another way of getting others to back off and not question their actions.

[Irish_Dem]

12. But it was a clever question in that it highlights Trump's mental illness.

So narcissistic.

[Oeditpus Rex]

20. 'How are you holding up?'was designed

to get a quote. That quote could be a throwaway, or it could've made The Felon look disconnected again, giving greater circulation to the growing belief that he's mentally ill.

Which did it do?

[Solly Mack]

8. Oh, now. Kirk's death is a cudgel he is using to attack others with and being able to attack people means

a lot to Trump.

[Irish_Dem]

13. Yes Trump is using it as a political and business strategy right now.

This has nothing to do with Trump having any sadness about the death.

[Solly Mack]

16. Absolutely nothing, I agree. Heck, his death gave Trump something.

[Irish_Dem]

19. Yes Trump could bask in the attention, pretending to be in charge of the investigation.

And getting more interviews.

[Kali]

30. and distraction from files and birthday cards

[Irish_Dem]

31. Exactly.

[durablend]

9. Not true

Kirk's death was an opportunity to turn the stove up even higher. Which got deflated once Trump found out which side the killer was on.

[Irish_Dem]

11. This is totally different from caring about Kirk. Or being bothered by his death.

But yes of course Trump saw it as a political and business opportunity.

[Solly Mack]

4. LMAO. Me! It's all about me!

[senseandsensibility]

14. ALWAYS

As predictable as a heatwave in August.

[Ocelot II]

23. He's such a narcissist/sociopath that he doesn't even know how to fake caring about others.

Most sociopaths would at least know how to feign a fairly convincing expression of concern; Trump is too far gone even to know how to do that.

[Solly Mack]

24. Good thing Kirk died before the weekend. He'd have to miss a day of golf. Maybe a half day. Maybe.

More likely he'd have a "Now watch this drive" moment of his own.

[jls4561]

5. I hope the next person to occupy the White House converts the Ballroom into a regulation court and invites WNBA

Teams to inaugurate it.

[senseandsensibility]

21. Poetic justice indeed

From your lips to God's ears as they say.

[Johonny]

10. trump has no friends

[Ping Tung]

15. Did he mentions the candidates for new trophy wife to dance the Boogie-Woogie at the opening?

[senseandsensibility]

17. Love a good boogie woogie dance video

Thanks for that. It lifted my mood!

[Ping Tung]

22. You're welcome.

[kentuck]

18. They could always put a sun roof on it...

... and turn it into a rose garden.

[sheshe2]

26. i'm surprised he didn't respond: Who?

[Eliot Rosewater]

27. Who has been trying to get what for 150 years dumb shit?

Fuck I hate him

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

28. Lol..all about me

[Danmel]

29. He cared about Herman Cain just as much

In other words, not at all.

[Blue Owl]

32. Moving on then....

Don't expect a narcissistic sociopath to reflect on someone else's legacy....
