President Donald Trump has little sympathy for his predecessor despite a prostate cancer diagnosis.

    Of course not, Trump is incapable of feeling empathy about anyone or anything that isn’t him.

    The only surprise is him admitting it out loud.

      I find it even more surprising he managed a single complete sentence with absolutely no trace of a lie contained therein…

      Hateful and short as that sentence may be. 🤷‍♂️ 🤡

      Trump is trying to get other people to say it, too. Like the way this post is sort of working in Trump’s favor if that is his desire.

      The biggest surprise for me is in how America just stands by and says nothing about it

      If Biden had been up there saying that about a political opponent … it would make headlines all over the world.

      Trump does it and his behaviour is so normalized that everyone just shrugs their shoulders and moves on.

      These idiots in positions of power saying and doing whatever they want aren’t the problem … it’s everyone else who just accept it all.

        The difference, as a rule, is Democrats CARE what people say. Look at what happened with Al Franken. If he had been a Republican he would have said “It’s a joke, get over it.” and would be in office today.

    The sympathetic message was quite obviously the words of someone else,

    This is who he is

    A vile, cruel piece of shit

    Oh, he’s a chicken too. And fat.

    Trump’s remarks were a far cry from his statement in the immediate aftermath of Biden’s diagnosis.

    “Melania and I are saddened to hear about Joe Biden’s recent medical diagnosis,” he wrote. “We extend our warmest and best wishes to Jill and the family, and we wish Joe a fast and successful recovery.”

    There’s no way Trump actually wrote that

      It’s always so plainly obvious when he tweeted truthed lied something himself and when one of his PR people did.

    Well of course he doesn’t - he’s a psychopath. A complete lack of concern for others is one of his defining characteristics.

    And even beyond that, Biden’s a special case.

    Another aspect of Trump’s mental illness is his entirely self-absorbed conception of reality. For instance, he wanted to win in 2020; and he believes he deserved to win in 2020, therefore, from his delusional point of view, the only possible reality is that he did win, but somebody stole it from him.

    And that somebody is Biden, and since another aspect of his mental illness is to childishly cling to grudges over perceived wrongs, he has it in for Biden specifically.

      I always remember that prophetic quote from sometime between 2017 and 2019: “He will not go willingly”.

      It was either Mary Trump or Tony Schwartz; they both said things to that effect.

    I won’t feel sorry for you when you croak and your grave faces constant vandalism and constantly being shit and pissed on. Can’t wait to be honest.

    Such class. Such compassion. What presidential behavior, from a true leader.

    And if you don’t think that’s snark, I’ve got these genuine imitation gold coins with my face on them, only $199.99.
