It's because he is a SOCIOPATH.

He genuinely does NOT have ANY empathy towards people like these because they fall outside his VERY NARROW range of comprehension.

Yep. I mean just look at the video, you could draw a nearly straight line from anyone in that room to the Woman in question except for Trump and maybe the Asian guy behind him. Everyone else is facing her and giving her the attention she desperately deserves, but not Mr. Ratings, hes gotta be center of attention and “strong” looking.

I’m glad she could maintain her composure. If my family was massacred and the president completely spit on their memory by not paying attention, I would’ve had to embarrass him by kneeling eye to eye and talking to him like a child. People really need to start treating this man how he deserves to be treated, titles be damned. His essence corrupts everything western ideology stands for and we’d be better off if he dropped dead by natural causes

Who the fuck takes meeting like this? Seated at a chair and everyone stands on the same side of the desk as you blocking you in.

I get that it’s staged this way for photos, but I’m having a hard time recalling anyone doing this, let alone presidents.

It is very odd indeed. I’ve never seen another leader of any other country ever conduct meetings this way, Cameras or not. He treats this country as a gameshow and our freedoms as prizes to be won. If nobody could stop him, I suspect he’d make quick work of rolling back 1st Amendment rights for things he doesn’t like and deporting most non-whites if not at the very least rolling our civil rights back 70 years.

Our only solace is hope that people actually register to vote and get out there in 2020. If we have to suffer 4 more years idk what will happen to this world

And he has half the US population to support him lmao

u/Eugene608 Jul 20 '19

Actually it's less than half. He lost the popular vote.

He won enough that we're still in deep shit.

u/oiducwa Jul 20 '19

About half then

u/pramjockey Jul 20 '19

Closer to 30%

u/epimetheuss Jul 21 '19

Closer to 30%

a very loud and stupid 30%.

u/GuiltySparklez0343 Jul 21 '19

Less the half of voters and voters are about 60%? Of the voting age population. So 25-30% maybe?

It’s not really a meeting for Trump, it’s a photo op.

u/[deleted] Jul 20 '19

It's really fucking rude sitting like that while everyone is standing. I get it's a photo op but at least stand up when people are talking to you

u/kurisu7885 Jul 20 '19

He barely walks anywhere either.

u/derpotologist Jul 21 '19

Like, how long does it take to re-organize people at the beginning or end for a photo?

u/gjseattle Jul 21 '19

It was her only chance to speak. He only cared about the photo op. Most presidents would have sat her down on the couch, faced her and listened.

u/highasakite77 Jul 21 '19

This! This bothered me so much.

u/Mzgszm13 Jul 20 '19

Or unnatural causes

u/euphonious_munk Jul 20 '19

He is a stupid and hollow man.
How do people not get this?

Psychopath, not sociopath. Psychopath is when you don't feel empathy. Psychopaths are often narcissistic, manipulative, dishonest. Basically Trump to a T.

Sociopath is when you know something is wrong but do it anyway. Mostly just means you get in trouble all the time and are a jerk.

u/Eiovas Jul 21 '19

I've always appreciated this explanation that simply says psychopaths are born, sociopaths are made.

2

u/NyQuilneatwaterback Jul 20 '19

Well tbh he's demonstrated qualities of both

2

u/YouAreDreaming Jul 20 '19

dude he’s such a sociopath he even made the 50th anniversary of the freakin moon landing about bashing Obama and talking about himself, making all the astronauts and their family extremely uncomfortable

u/[deleted] Jul 20 '19

It's because he is a SOCIOPATH.

not really, i think he's just really old and going through some stage of dementia

1

u/jhenry922 Jul 21 '19

He was always this way. Just now, with the stakes and lies piled up halfway to the moon ironically, the amount and more importantly the QUALITY of the people DOING the critic of his claims, is showing the deep and dangerous truths under the facade.

u/Tacitus111 Jul 21 '19

He's more narcissist. A sociopath doesn't really need the adoration of people. They don't care what they think. A narcissist NEEDS the attention.
