'Someone died, you assh*le': Trump blasted for not acknowledging Trump Tower fire victim

08 APR 2018 AT 09:03 ET

Responding to Donald Trump’s failure to express condolences to the family of man who died in a Trump Tower fire on Saturday night, social media users blasted the president for devoting his regular Sunday morning Twitter time to rage at former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the Washington Post.

Sunday morning, after failing to acknowledge the death of a man in his signature New York City property, Trump wrote, “‘The FBI closed the case on Hillary, which was a rigged investigation. They exonerated her even before they ever interviewed her, they never even put her under oath…..’ and much more. So true Jesse! @WattersWorld.”

This followed a Saturday evening tweet where he praised his building, tweeting, “Fire at Trump Tower is out. Very confined (well built building). Firemen (and women) did a great job. THANK YOU!”

The president’s callousness towards the fiery death of a tenant in a Trump Tower apartment that did not contain sprinklers — which Trump lobbied against — did not go unnoticed on Twitter, with one user writing: “What in the name of all that is holy is WRONG WITH YOU?”

Maybe only the ones already wavering, but think of the margins of victory in the last Pres. election.

but actually reads some, as well. Or has them read to him, possibly. I say poke him, needle him, mock him as much as possible. No reasoned approach is going to work, so trying to push him out of that hospital and into a ward with no sharp edges is the way to go.

I'm not writing a reply in the hopes the poster will pay attention. Mostly I write replies to the people who are reading the thread so they can have information the original poster didn't find it necessary to include. In the case of DonnieO's twitters I think that is extremely important.

It would have sprinklers installed. Instead it is a death trap where fires can quickly grow into 4 alarm disaster.

That's a no-brainer for Asshole - collateral damage. Maybe while you are counting that money, you could at least spend 1 second of your miserable existence to think of the family who lost a loved one. Oh never mind...

trump has the dark triad. He gives no fucks because he has never been able to give fucks to begin with.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_triad

The dark triad is a subject in psychology that focuses on three personality traits: narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy.[1][2][3][4] Use of the term "dark" implies that people possessing these traits have malevolent qualities.[5][6][7][8]

Research on the dark triad is used in applied psychology, especially within the fields of law enforcement, clinical psychology, and business management. People scoring high on these traits are more likely to commit crimes, cause social distress and create severe problems for an organization, especially if they are in leadership positions (for more information, see psychopathy, narcissism, and Machiavellianism in the workplace).

All three dark triad traits are conceptually distinct although empirical evidence shows them to be overlapping. They are associated with a callous-manipulative interpersonal style.[9]

Narcissism is characterized by grandiosity, pride, egotism, and a lack of empathy.[10]
Machiavellianism is characterized by manipulation and exploitation of others, a cynical disregard for morality, and a focus on self-interest and deception.[11]
Psychopathy is characterized by continuing antisocial behavior, impulsivity, selfishness, callousness, and remorselessness.[12]
A factor analysis carried out at the Glasgow Caledonian University found that among the big five personality traits, low agreeableness is the strongest correlate of the dark triad, while neuroticism and a lack of conscientiousness were associated with some of the dark triad members.[11]

It's as obvious as daylight. He is all ego, power, greed, and apathy. The radical evangelicals think he's a gift from God - I think he is the Antichrist.

Truly the worst thing to have ever hatched on planet earth. He's a cold-blooded snake without a soul. I once thought he was just a looney clown, an out of touch asshole. But it's become apparent that he is
much more sinister and calculating than that.

This was perfect:

"God must've wept the day you were born, because I have never seen such a catastrophic and total failure of a human being – failures of empathy, morality, ethics, truth-telling, self-monitoring, abstention from crime. Shut the hell up about Hillary and act like an adult for once."
