The very dark truth about Donald Trump revealed in his Cokie Roberts comments

Usually when someone dies, you follow the rule your mom taught you: If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.

President Donald Trump doesn't follow that rule. Asked about the passing of legendary journalist Cokie Roberts on Tuesday, here's what Trump said (in part):

"I never met her. She never treated me nicely. But I would like to wish her family well. She was a professional, and I respect professionals."

The first words out of his mouth when asked about someone's death was a) never met her and b) "she never treated me nicely." Me, Me, Me, Me, Me Me.

While all politicians -- and all people -- tend to see things through a how-does-this-impact-me lens, most of us understand that turning everything, especially someone else's death, into a conversation about ourselves is hugely selfish and narcissistic. It also reeks of a lack of empathy, an inability to step outside yourself and into another person's shoes for even a minute.

That Trump's first instinct when asked about the death of a prominent journalist would be to make it about himself and then use it as a piece of ammo in his long-running fight with the news media is, even for this president, a remarkable thing. And by remarkable, I mean revealing. Revealing in that it makes clear -- and, if you have been paying attention to the presidency it might well already be crystal clear to you -- that Trump is simply unconcerned about anyone who isn't him. He doesn't view the presidency as a position of moral leadership. He just does and says what he wants, when he wants.

That rejection of moral leadership -- of taking the high road, of understanding that you don't need to say everything you think -- is what makes Trump truly radical vis a vis the other men who have held the office of president. They tried -- and sometimes failed, but always tried -- to do what they believed to be the right thing, even if it wasn't what they wanted to do. Trump makes no attempt to do so. None.

Trump cannot help himself. His narcissistic thought processes, coupled with insecurity will always result in a “me, me, me” reaction. He feels no empathy for others.

Thanks you two for commenting support...

The 85-90% Attic subscribers of conservative, religious or whatever R-Wing persuasion and trump-bad-behavior-deniers they are, are likely soon to land - - glad you guys were first.

It's C.R.A.Z.Y. - - the more he acts out in his very disgusting ways, the more demented he behaves, the more his detractors take notice and criticize, but the more his supporters try to find ways to justify his actions.

Unfortunately that makes them just as awful as he is.

Well, only two thumbs, but two big toes as well (thumb equivalents). Although one doesn't work so good due to nerve damage from a back injury. But I give it my best.
