The father of a Muslim U.S. soldier killed in combat in Iraq said in an interview late Saturday that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trumps comments are typical of a person without a soul.
What he said originally that defines him .?.?. People are upset with him, Khizr Khan told The Washington Post. He realizes, and his advisers feel that [his original statement] was a stupid mistake.
Khan told the Post that Trump is void of empathy and unfit for the stewardship of this great country.
A person void of empathy for the people he wishes to lead cannot be trusted with that leadership, Khan added. To vote is a trust. And it cannot be placed in wrong hands.

Trump is too stupid (and soulless) to just STFU.

Empathy is what makes us human. It is the basis of all ethical or moral or humane action. Anyone who lacks empathy is not a human being.
