Mary Trump - The End of Empathy

As Donald goes increasingly off the rails, former members of his administration go on the record about Donald’s admiration for Adolf Hitler, and yet another woman comes forward with a credible allegation of sexual assault, I’ve once again been confronting this horrible conundrum: Why is it that the more awful things Donald does, the less it seems to matter?

You know the drill—any one of those things would be disqualifying for any other candidate, Democrat or Republican, The sexual assaults, inciting an insurrection, two impeachments, stealing classified documents, the criminal convictions—a tiny fraction of all the horrific acts Donald has committed over the decades.

But there’s one thing fundamental to who Donald is that should be enough to convince any sane American not to vote for him: He has no empathy. This means that he is incapable of caring about the suffering of other human beings and that is why he’s so comfortable causing it.

I think it’s important to know why.

Think that's it's impossible for the crimes to be real. They think he is being falsely charged because trump denies everything and they believe him.
