It should be noted that the converse of this is also very true of Trump, and apparently many of his followers. A man who shows compassion, a man who cares about other human beings, and shows these qualities, is regarded as weak. For Trump, to show compassion or concern for others is a sign of great weakness. If you listen to Trump, on the few occasions when he is making an effort to display these emotions, he always speaks in a stilted and monotone style. Compassion, caring for other human beings, is foreign to Trump. It will never be something that comes naturally. Precisely because he regards such emotions as signs of a weak man. This attitude, IMO, is itself a serious character defect.
