Trump is a limited, undeveloped person

[edhopper]

His comments about the Military show he just can't comprehend someone doing something for other people without personal gain. His mind can't conceive of alturism or sacrifice. He just isn't a fully functional human being.

[Walleye]

1. He doesn't even understand the concepts of honesty and morality.

[BKDem]

2. He is an undeveloped something.

I'm not certain it's human.

[edhopper]

5. demi human

Semi human. Humanlike

[tblue37]

10. Human adjacent? nt

[Ohiogal]

11. Pile of protoplasm?

[Turbineguy]

3. Why does he have to give utterance to

every stupid thought that enters his mind?

[edhopper]

6. not a fully functioning human

[Mike 03]

4. Yes. And there's also a sickening, smug superiority about what he said.

From his developmentally truncated point of view, wealthy and smart people avoid military service. He thinks nobody would serve their country unless they could either find a way not to, or don't have better prospects in life. It's a very elitist, pretentious view. (Especially considering that Fred Sr got him out of service; Trump's avoidance had nothing to do with his own intelligence or his own personal wealth--it was his father.)

Smart and wealthy people spend their youth avoiding STDs, not bullets.

8. And he is basically

a coward.

[Mike 03]

9. Absolutely.

He can't even fire people face to face. He delegates subordinates to do it, or tweets.

He's pathetic.

[Goonch]

7. ;-{)

[lastlib]

12. "Person" is a term to be construed loosely in his case......

[edhopper]

13. He's a person

the way a corporation is a person. With the same conscience.

[samnsara]

14. hes actually devolving!

[livetohike]

15. I was going to post that he was unevolved, but I think

your term is better .

[Phoenix61]

16. He's on the same level of emotional development

as a two year old. Three year olds can recognize human suffering and will offer emotional support or even share their cookie.

17. I am trying to wrap my brain around a person who thinks like this. It's so difficult

I have a hard time accepting the transactional component. But I equally don't understand the infatuation with what he considers "visably appealing" and literally discarding the rest. It boggles my mind that he has SUCH AN AVERSION for anyone w deformities (specifically, vets) even though he hugged a flag for cheap optical effect. I'll never forget that lame, over the top weird as hell publicity stunt. So messed up. It is a complete lack of humanity.

I think he and his equally vapid wife have a deep rooted overvaluation of what they consider "looking good". To them beauty is a winner. Ugly people, like vets that died in battle or MIA, are losers and suckers. They are completely devoid of any hint of depth. I don't understand how someone can get like this.

18. His old man probably taught him

that it's a dog-eat-dog world. In that world basic human decency is weakness. His lack of human decency has always been apparent but publicly mocking a disabled reporter erased any remaining doubt--and his supporters were okay with that.
