trump is an apathetic depraved narcissistic sociopath...his brother's death feeds his ego..he is the recipient of expressed condolences ..it is all about him...... he is crude, obscenely cruel, and indifferent to human suffering...he played golf when his brother lay dying...water is wet...

I’d say people grieve differently and we shouldn’t judge.

But we know who he is. We know he never shows empathy for anyone else. We know this isn’t just “his way of grieving”...he just doesn’t care.

Usually does, but without his clown makeup and giant suits he looks awful - fat, sick and deranged.

He really shouldn't wear white. It shows all his fake color which melts off him when he's sweating.

And, having listened to a number of interviews and podcasts with his niece, this is not even remotely surprising. I would be shocked if he actually stayed at his brother's bedside for anything longer than his drive-by.

According to his niece, Mary, he went to the movies with his sister Elizabeth as his older brother lay dying. ALONE.

gather together at a hospital or home to support each other in a time of sorrow. That big three story condo in Trump Tower would have served just fine. But it's so much more fun at the golf course!

I suspect his brother was quite happy for Trump to leave and go golfing. It's a broken family full of broken people.

throw out the first pitch because he was too busy with meetings etc on the 15th. We all knew that was BS but someone needs to call him out. He was not invited to throw the pitch and lets not dance around his lie.

and how awesome Trump is, and how Trump is the greatest. Seriously doubt he said one single word directly to him that did not involve himself.

Also, WTF is all over his shirt? He looks like he's slept in his clothes for three days after binge-drinking and vomiting.
