Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsOut of all of tRump's hideous tweets, the one about the Pulse mass murder was the worst.
It's not like his being a textbook narcissist is exactly news, but that tweet actually shocked me as well as disgusted me. Just when you think nothing he could do would be shocking, he tweets that shit. Not one mention of the scores dead and injured, not a microscopic speck of empathy. Just me, me, me.

(5,815 posts)I was very on the fence about Hillary for a hundred reasons. But I am now firmly in the camp of:
Fuck. This. Guy.
Fuck him. Fuck everything about him.
Trump just motivated a lot of Bernie supporters who were feeling a bit unmotivated.
Nice job, dickhead.

if it hasn't happened for anyone else, don't worry, he will get to you.
I can only imagine what he will say in a speech he should have the sensitivity to postpone tomorrow.
oh wait, did I say he SHOULD have?
The guy is just the worst person in the world.
Lets fight him together.

(9,350 posts)America has a population of 300+ million people. Twitter has millions, if not billions, of users. His likes and retweets are only a small fraction of the people who use Twitter. Some of the retweets might be coming from people who are upset about the tweet.

(115,661 posts)I've met a few narcissists in my day but Trump has to be the most narcissistic narcissist ever. For years I've thought that prize should be awarded to my SIL but Trump is exponentially worse - makes SIL look like the Dalai Lama. Years from now psychologists will be writing treatises about him.

(6,716 posts)with the way he was throwing that term around the other day, I knew he wouldn't be able to help himself.
Once again, he has to stroke his own ego as opposed to expressing sympathy.
The fact is that leadership already knows this is a problem, they just don't use it to fan flames at a political rally like the repugs do.

He is incapable of feeling any empathy. And everything is always about him.
Only a sociopath could rip off hundreds of people and not care one iota
about what he is doing to all those lives. People lost their businesses because they were never paid for the work they did for him. He could have cared less. No empathy and no conscience.
And notice how he never apologises for anything? That's a big clue. And how he just changes his stories if one doesn't fly? He just spins another story and thinks people will believe the new one. That's a sociopath.

(67,786 posts)From your initial link you can read this immediately before the tweet you cite.
"Horrific incident in FL. Praying for all the victims & their families. When will this stop? When will we get tough, smart & vigilant?"
Yes, he is disgusting and his whole view on all of this, judging by his tweets, is about him. But he did mention the victims and their families.
