That kinda pisses me off.

On the bright side, Donald J Trump seems to have found his footing. The White House has realized that without consumers there is no economy. This run counter to the narrative that runs in my head about the President lacking empathy. This is good news and I'm willing to say it.

Empathy for his income is not empathy.

The president message is that he fixed the economy. Citing the Stock Market and job numbers (a lagging indicator) as proof. He could not even bother to admit the pandemic was coming until the stock market crashed. And governors starting ordering businesses to close. Only then did he realize it was a threat to his reelection - the only thing that matters to The Don. It is always and only about him. No empathy has been demonstrated for anyone else.
