Does Donald Trump Have a Heart? - By Mike Barnicle

In attacking the Khan family, Donald Trump spoke and tweeted without a shred of compassion.

PHILADELPHIA –Khizr Khan, who shamed Donald Trump in front of a whole nation last week, spoke to the Democratic Convention two days after Rocco Renell Isaac’s birthday, one of many through history who also made a great sacrifice. Mr Khan was talking about his family, his son and his country all suffering a lasting loss when Army Captain Humayun Khan was killed in Iraq in 2004 at the age of 27.

LCpl. Isaac was 19, a rifleman with Echo Company, 2nd Battalion, Fifth Marines when he was killed in Vietnam July 26, 1968, a particularly lethal year. He was a graduate of Philadelphia’s Edison High School which holds the sad record of having the most graduates killed in Vietnam of any high school in America: 64.

Captain Khan was a patriot who wanted to be a military lawyer upon finishing his tour in an increasingly unpopular war. LCpl. Isacc was a patriot who had dreams of starting his own business someday after finishing his 13 months fighting a war that was dividing his country. Both wars were nurtured by political deceit.

Humayun left his parents and two brothers. Isacc left his parents, three brothers and four sisters. Both left a hole in the heart that neither time nor memory can ever heal. Captain Khan is buried in Arlington National Cemetery, his headstone is in a line of sight with Memorial Bridge and the Lincoln Memorial. LCpl. Isaac is buried in Philadelphia National Cemetery and his name is carved into the long, black marble wall of the Vietnam Memorial on Panel W50, Line 14 not far from Captain Khan’s grave.

3. sociopaths have no heart. Trump has built himself up on a foundation of being heartless

this resonates with some americans as they view sympathy, empathy and caring as all weaknesses...which also flies in the face of christianity which we know the bulk of these people have as their "religion"....

its crossed into an area of mental illness in my view

6. I thought Mr. Khan's description was accurate...

Trump has a "black heart." But I think it's too late to teach a 70-year-old megalomaniac how to have empathy. Far too late.
