How can one man have no empathy of compassion for his own people of people's of the world?

Beats the scheiße out of me, Karen. I wonder the same thing . . . ¿Why this non-stop vitriol?

In the case of Director Mueller, I believe that Director Mueller represented a social class that was élite but with a conscience of 'noblesse oblige'; a select group that Trump will never buy or *bribe his way into. So, the Pretender-in-Chief basically is saying in his axions, "¿Fug me? Well . . . ¡Fug you! I *shall show you just how bad, impolite, and unrefined I can be."

Trump according to Shakespeare:

"“I, that am rudely stamp'd, and want love's majesty

To strut before a wanton ambling nymph;

I, that am curtail'd of this fair proportion,

Cheated of feature by dissembling nature,

Deformed, unfinish'd, sent before my time

Into this breathing world, scarce half made up,

And that so lamely and unfashionable

That dogs bark at me as I halt by them;

Why, I, in this weak piping time of peace,

Have no delight to pass away the time,

Unless to spy my shadow in the sun

And descant on mine own deformity:

And therefore, since I cannot prove a lover,

To entertain these fair well-spoken days,

I am determined to prove a villain

And hate the idle pleasures of these days.

Plots have I laid, inductions dangerous,

By drunken prophecies, libels and dreams,

To set my brother Clarence and the king

In deadly hate the one against the other . . . .”

--William Shakespeare, ‘Richard III’.

Says it perfectly

Director Muller had class; Trump has crass. Ah, the difference one letter can make.😉

Thank you, as always, Jacob, for assuring that I am not a total ignoramus.💡
