He literally has no empathy or even interest in anything humane. He doesn't even like cats or dogs

Think about that.

We all know some assholes that have some level of humanity and some who are not good with many people, but melt when it comes to pets at least and by extension, show empathy etc.

trump though?

Nothing.

Not even passions for common things like sports. Not in any shared way.

Aside from how problematic that is in general, it shows that he is capable of so much worse (than even now).

I don't like Hitler comparisons, but let's face it. He wouldn't lose sleep if undesirable people were sent to gas chambers.

He already, without hesitation gassed protesters. He would be ok with using nuclear weapons.

Bill Murray — ‘I'm suspicious of people who don't like dogs, but I trust a dog when it doesn't like a person.’

The Manx however, is a social butterfly and will cozy up to anyone who comes through the door.

is that he's not interested in the arts, or nature, or reading, or children, or pets, or any of the things that make most people's lives rewarding. His existence seems to be utterly joyless. He doesn't seem to take pleasure in anything other than defeating "enemies" and grabbing attention for himself. Nothing matters to him other than that which makes him feel important and powerful, and any challenge to his sense of importance is met with fury and denial. He's in a Hell of his own creation and if he weren't so destructive I'd feel sorry for him.

I don't think cats and dogs would like him any more than he likes them. Animals can sense evil.
