About Empathy for Donald Trump?...an example from history & some additional thoughts.

...When the Allies entered Berlin during World War II, was there empathy for the Germans who
died fighting us?...The Allies from the West entered and the Russians from the East entered...
Did they feel sadness for what was happening as they finally won the battle?..The Russians from
the East lost 26 million of their people as they met the Western Team lead by the U.S., Britain and
the rest of the nations who dealt with the mean, ruthless, soulless German leader and those
that followed him...That team from the West it is estimated lost 3 to 4 million of their people, perhaps more.
...Getting back to the present. Should there empathy for the meanest, most vicious leader that the U.S.
has seen in the last 100 years? A leader who bragged that it would be over .."by April" with only a
few deaths due to the virus. A leader who enjoyed mocking people of all kinds. A leader who
NEVER SAID HE WAS SORRY FOR MISTAKES HE MADE THAT HURT OR KILLED PEOPLE.
And last, a leader who was sure he could get away with anything without consequences.

...Is empathy due to someone like this? Think about that. My empathy is for the people and families
that were hurt beyond reason, with death and total destruction. I have no empathy for the
person who caused it all.

Only Trump's strongest supporters will stick with him after the debate.

Trump was rude, disrespectful, and a total bully. He wouldn't stop talking. Now yes, some will stick with
him, but his overall support will go down. He may not know it, but it will go down. I believe that there will be no more debates, because debates will not serve his purpose, only hurt him.
............................. Donald Trump cannot "shut up and listen."...........................

Plain and simple. He showed it to the entire country. Not a positive characteristic for any leader. And
most of the people in the United States know that.

About Stuart G

I thought I knew a lot, and I found out... how little I knew about what I know. And how much more there is to learn, if I listen and read what others have to say.
