Trump brother dead

So many people in this thread actually believe their ethics are better than others. Then they comment and prove otherwise. This world is broken.

You and yours in this thread selectively criticize the "ethics" of others, based solely on politics and your support for a completely unfit, morally repugnant President.

Not a peep when it comes to Trump and his supporters and their debauchery and assholery.

You're broken.

Not one word of this post is true.

It’s where we are with the destruction of norms in this country. Just two weeks ago Trump was being snotty about John Lewis passing, and none of you up in arms tonight condemned him for flying the flag at the WH at half mast for half a day, or crying about how Lewis was mean to him.
I can’t recall Trump being classy to one person he disagrees with, or sees as an enemy, when they have passed. Bush? McCain? Not remotely.

You are right. Donald is classless.

At some point, though, we as a society need to stop excusing bad behavior because of someone else's.
 
is it trashy to go golfing as your brother dies?
I don't know...let me go read that book and how to mourn (that you apparently co-authored) and see what's in there.

I remember when my best friend died, his wife was chastised because she didn't cry at his funeral. It's like people expect folks to "perform" a very specific way after a death. I don't get it. Hell, when I die go water skiing and celebrate for all I care...it's what I'd have rather been doing than lying in a casket!

Sociopath with no Empathy just the guy we need during a pandemic.

He's definitely a malignant narcissist. I don't know if he's a full-blown sociopath. For one, I don't think he has that level of intelligence. Secondly, there have been moments where it seems Trump has had a visceral response of empathy. For example, during a Republican primary debate on healthcare, Trump said he didn't want people dying in the streets. The way it was said you could tell it was genuine and not scripted. You can also tell when he talked about people in inner cities "living in hell" that he was speaking genuinely. Those are just two examples.

Granted, the times Trump shows genuine concern and compassion are scant, but I believe Trump does in fact experience some empathy. In short, I don't believe he's quite the static character he's made out to be.

With that said, his narcissism is so bad that most of the time he's without question an inconsiderate prick. Still, I don't believe he's a full-fledged sociopath, but I admit it's certainly debatable. The bottom line is he has no business being POTUS.

Smh.

Honestly, this type of mentality is disgusting.

He’s the embodiment of evil narcissism, who is responsible for nearly 200,000 American deaths as he disbanded an entire pandemic team out of spite and tried to cover for China’s failings because he wanted an agricultural deal to help win the election.

I have no problem wishing Robert we’re alive and Donald was in his place.

I'd start by seeing what Mary Trump has to say.

When my husband passed away very unexpectedly I went into shock. The EMT's kept asking me if I was alright. I couldn't cry. I'm sure people thought I was being weird. But for about six months I'd suddenly be overtaken with crying, even at work. Grief and loss don't follow one formula.

Sorry for your loss.

When my son died (about an hour after he was born 7 weeks early) I had to go back to work after a week. I worked in retail so for the customers that only knew me from the store I would have to be a helpful friendly smile and be happy whether I was or not. Also for the customers that knew me from church or from town, I would have to accept their condolences and be sad whether I was or not. It was a roller coaster for a month or more. It was a fricking nightmare. Every person is different and sometimes has to be different for other people. Its rude to expect a certain grief from anyone.

Shock makes sense. Smiling and taking selfies with celebrities while tweeting about how great you are doesn't.

Yeah, grief and some version of return to a “normal life” follow no true and certain path. As the list of those close to me now dead grows, the path gets no more apparent.
 
Sometimes a relative or friend has been battling
cancer for a long time and doctors tell you they
have done all they can. So you can begin to prepare
mentally for a loved one's death.

However, when a relative or friend dies suddenly
and unexpectedly due to a heart attack, you can
be in a state of shock. You had no time to prepare
emotionally for their death.

My brother-in-law died of a severe heart attack at
the age of 50 playing racquet ball at the YMCA.
Everyone thought he was in excellent physical
health and it surprised all of us.
