      Even when Trump makes a conscious effort to show some empathy, some indication that he might actually have human feelings, he doesn't know how to pretend that he does care about someone other than himself is foreign to his basic nature. What isn't foreign to him is that immediate reaction is to sue the poor bastard whose boat wound up on this guy's property Trump is a selfish empathy- deficit- disordered subhuman descendant of Cain.

    The historic unknown individuals that are the voices of rebellion. The different ones. Those that propose a new common sense of honest reality. Those I thank for the shake you give to my mind and desire for a better world. The che Guevaras, the Spartacus, the liberating slaves of injustice. The true leaders of change.
