In times such as these with so much suffering and death one hopes for basic decency and humanity in one's "leader". Empathy. Right?

Qualities lacking in da big cheese.

When has he shown any compassion or honest emotion or grief about what so many have experienced? Sickness suffering death.  Over a million cases so far in the US and I think in excess of 80,000 dead so far.

Instead of tweeting endlessly about that what does he choose to dwell on? How badly he is treated. How great a job he has done. How terrible a job his predecessors have done. Everything always centering on how HE is affected impacted attacked insulted. Always consistent dependable predictable.

Former presidents had hearts. They were none of them PERFECT but they were there emotionally and we saw the grieving here and there and felt they cared. Not once has da big cheese ever once indicated he cares about anyone but himself. No matter what the subject it will always devolve into how it affects him. Whining complaining kvetching he is always a victim of nefarious bad doers. He is the one who is always suffering.

And yet he is adored beloved worshipped by millions. One wonders how they are wired and what kind of "emotions" they have. But the wonderment is fleeting. It is after all inconsequential irrelevant and worthless. As is  da big cheese.
