President Trump tells storm victims to 'have a good time'

Source: New York Daily News

President Trump didn’t toss paper towels into a crowd, but he did tell victims of Hurricane Florence on Wednesday to “have a good time” after asking officials about an area of North Carolina where he owns a golf course.

Trump handed out Styrofoam containers of hot dogs and offered kind words of encouragement to residents of some of the hardest hit towns in the Carolinas as he took in the devastation caused by the catastrophic storm first hand.

"How's the house?” he could be heard asking one person. “You take care of yourself,” he said.

Trump told another person who waited over an hour for the packaged meal to “have a good time.”

psychopaths lack empathy and the ability to display genuine empathy.

so when he's in situations like this, time and time again, he says really inappropriate things.

why? because he can't read a face and feel empathy.

so he makes asshole comments like this.

more over, he's tried to fake it in the past, but I now believe that, if he ever had any fucks to give and tried to "show he cared", hes has given all the fucks he's ever had by now and just hasn't the ability to give anymore.

if you read any of my past posts you will see that I was far from "late to the party". I was just confirming my long belief and regularly posted observation that orange asshole is a psychopath.

in Houston after Hurricane Harvey. He told survivors to "have a good time."


"It's been really nice," Trump said of the visit. "It's been a wonderful thing. As tough as this was, it's been a wonderful thing, I think even for the country to watch it and for the world to watch. It's been beautiful."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_triad

The dark triad in psychology refers to the personality traits of narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy,[1][2][3][4] which are called "dark" because of their malevolent qualities.[5][1][6][7]

Research on the dark triad is used in applied psychology, especially within the fields of law enforcement, clinical psychology, and business management. People scoring high on these traits are more likely to commit crimes, cause social distress and create severe problems for an organization, especially if they are in leadership positions (for more information, see psychopathy, narcissism, and Machiavellianism in the workplace).

All three dark triad traits are conceptually distinct although empirical evidence shows them to be overlapping. They are associated with a callous-manipulative interpersonal style.[8]

Narcissism is characterized by grandiosity, pride, egotism, and a lack of empathy.[9]
Machiavellianism is characterized by manipulation and exploitation of others, a cynical disregard for morality, and a focus on self-interest and deception.[10]
Psychopathy is characterized by continuing antisocial behavior, impulsivity, selfishness, callousness, and remorselessness.[11]
A factor analysis carried out at the Glasgow Caledonian University found that among the big five personality traits, low agreeableness is the strongest correlate of the dark triad, while neuroticism and a lack of conscientiousness were associated with some of the dark triad members.[10]

There's nothing substantial there at all.

He'll probably start finding ways to prove it to us in no time at all, with the fond blessings of the Republican Party.
