Trump was asked: What do you say to people who have lost loved ones to the virus?

[left-of-center2012]

David Muir asked Trump, and Trump started off with "I love them".
But then Trump went on to say "They've got a great economy ahead".

So your mom and dad died. Your wife died. You lost your best friend.
Get over it!

The Trump economy will be booming again!

1. Unbelievable. Only It would say that.

Muir gave him a softball and he couldn't even fake it.

[dawg day]

2. He really is sociopathic.

And emotion-stupid. He can't even imagine what would be a normal response.

3. He just can't do it. He can't even fake empathy.

He's such a sociopath that he can't imagine feeling sorry for another person for any reason, and so he is unable to pretend that he does. Somebody died? Oh, well. You'll have plenty of money because my economy is going to be great! Money matters but people don't. I hope he fries in Hell.

7. Remember his botched attempt at empathy to the family of La David Johnson...

...one of the soldiers killed in an operation in Niger?

"He knew what he signed up for."

[Newest Reality]

4. He missed...

He missed an opportunity to say he wasn't responsible.

Oh well. Next time.

5. "Hey, you get to collect their life insurance!"

[Disaffected]

10. "We had to amputate your feet but,

we found someone who wants to buy your slippers!"

[durablend]

18. "They might have had a will too!"

"Inheritance kaching!"

[smirkymonkey]

6. I'm surprised he didn't say "Well, if you think YOU have it bad, look at how the

haters in the Fake News treat me! Nothing could be worse than that!"

He is a sick, sick man.

[Baked Potato]

8. He doesn't love them since they are gone he can't screw them (in any way).

[Buckeye_Democrat]

9. A lobbed softball over the plate...

... and he totally whiffed.

Even a sociopath should know to express sympathy for the losses, and then mostly shut up.

"Your mother died, but there's a lot of good food at the post-funeral reception!"

[LastDemocratInSC]

12. He's a sociopath for certain but he's also really dumb.

A sociopath with intelligence would be able to summon up a few phrases of sympathy just to look good.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

13. Yep. nt

[lame54]

11. Economics for dead people...

They have a real future

[Skraxx]

14. "Be Happy! They Sacrificed Their Lives for My Re-Election! Isn't that great?!"

[muntrv]

15. It will be booming

at the hospitals.

[PA Democrat]

16. Yeah, I'll bet a lot of families will have those words engraved on their loved ones' tombstones

"We're so sad that because of coronavirus granny is dead
But it's worth it because of the great Trump economy ahead."

Only a sociopath would go without pause, from fake empathy to BS economic happy talk.

[duforsure]

17. The latest cons he's promoting,

He cares, and he can get this economy running successfully, which will be just another of his long list of lies. He can't. We're heading into the trump depression.
