"He needs to show some real empathy" - Who are they kidding?

On MSNBC, serious people saying that the president needs to show some "real empathy" for the people of Texas and their suffering.

First of all, when did the bar get set so low that points are now given out for the president behaving like a decent human being?

Secondly, they know the man has no empathy. Anything close to it will be manufactured, the words he speaks will have been written by someone else.

For the past 8 months Trump has shown us who he is. It is time we all believe him.

I don't care what comes out of his mouth. We know what is in his heart, well we know what would be in his heart if he had one.

1. I guess FEELING some real empathy would be completely beyond him.

4. If you can convincingly fake sincerity, you've got it made. nt

2. Don't they remember the real empathy he demonstrated

at the last major flood, in Louisiana?

He handed out lifesaving PlayDoh, for glob's sake.

3. You can't give what you ain't got...

Trump (and the typical Trumplodyte) confuses empathy with sympathy, and we all know that is just weakness.
