(9,989 posts)Does he mean something that sincerely moved him? No.
He has no appreciation of music or the arts in any way -except in status terms, remember the fucking Renoir painting he kept insisting was real even though the original is in the Art Institute of Chicago? And the time he deliberately destroyed the priceless Art Deco carvings on the old Bonwit Teller building even though the Metropolitan Museum of Art was willing to pay for their proper care and removal - out of spite because it might delay his fugly new building a few weeks?
Absolutely zero respect for nature, in fact, a real zeal to destroy it. No love for animals. Even his idea of a beautiful woman is completely plastic and manufactured and artificial.
He'll call an ugly racist border wall "beautiful." He'll call a threatening and thoroughly unethical phone call "beautiful."
I don't think that's nurture, I really don't. I think some sick soulless fucks are truly born that way. And his father was like that too, and so are his some of his kids. It's not just that he grew up rich and spoiled (although that certainly doesn't help), it's that there's literally no redeeming quality that COULD have been encouraged.
