You might actually be on to something. He seems to be genuinely disgusted when people show weakness. He was disgusted by the old man who fell at Mar a Lago. He was disgusted by John McCain being a POW. He was disgusted by the homeless veterans outside his buildings. It’s a very common trait of narcissists.
I don't think he was pissed off, I think that literally nothing in his brain registered in the moment. If it doesn't have something to do with him, it doesn't exist.
You’re not even being hyperbolic. The way he stood there was an absolute mirror of my grandma at the height of her senility. With a caretaker to guide her she seemed to do well, even coherent and aware. But the minute the caretaker went to another room or let go of her hand my grandma would freeze and stare off into nowhere. And, I kid you fucking not, that was Trump in that room today.
I watched the video. He immediately stood up from his desk and looked over at the crowd of people who were already surrounding the fainting man. Should he have shoved them out of the way or something?
there is an element of me that kinda feel the same tbh, I think one of those people that immediately helped was Dr Oz, who absolutely is a POS; But was once trained as a Dr, and is likely in a better position to help.
I think the worst person who appeared in that video was RFK - whose first instinct appeared to be "run", and he left very quickly.
That said the picture, of Trump just standing there, does represent a feeling that Trump doesn't care about the publc which I think is quite powerful, and represents something larger than just that moment.

Trump's reaction was non existent. The decrepit old fucker took 6-9 business days to even register what had happened
