IT looks like the person who fainted got enough help--yet Trump just seems oblivious to the whole scene.

Trumpâs lack of empathy is written all over his face.

Can they find a big enough asshole?

PatSeg
(54,274 posts)had the nerve to pass out in the Oval Office and detracted from whatever he was doing or saying.
Meanwhile, he kind of looks like he's sundowning. Maybe he's not entirely aware of what is going on around him.

Irish_Dem
(82,786 posts)He seems to have a visceral aversion to it.
Plus he is a narcissist who gets angry if someone else has the attention
or inconveniences him in any way.
PatSeg
(54,274 posts)when some guy fell (heart attack maybe?) and there was blood. He was upset because of the blood. Didn't give a damn about the poor guy on the floor. What a piece of work he is.
PatSeg
(54,274 posts)His main concern was his marble floor!
Irish_Dem
(82,786 posts)Someone having an emergency makes the narcissist furious,
no one is allowed to inconvenience them.
Yes the look on his face is interesting isn't it?
He has completely detached himself from reality.
PatSeg
(54,274 posts)We know he has health issues and maybe he's afraid some day it could be him. Actually, maybe he already has been in that situation.
Irish_Dem
(82,786 posts)We can see that he is in bad health.
And last month he disappeared for four days.
So it hit a button for him today.
PatSeg
(54,274 posts)Probably scared the crap out of him, but apparently not the hate and cruelty.
Irish_Dem
(82,786 posts)More than one comment along those lines.
I think he collapsed and it scared him.
And/or he was given bad health news.

Someone just fainted during Trumps speech, and the live stream cut off right as they were discussing getting better deals on health care. Probably a heart attack.

Yes, the Novo Nordisk executive who collapsed at the White House is okay, according to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, who said the gentleman fainted and is being attended to by the White House Medical Unit. He was identified as Novo Nordisk executive Gordon Findlay.

to do what, I don't know, but even the most lay person should know how to loosen their tie/clothing, make sure they are breathing, check pulses, etc, and if needed get someone to immediately get the portable AED machine (ECG/defibrillator) while contacting the WH medical staff to come immediately. Was "Dr." Oz at least that responsive? I don't know, but at least he did attend.

(105,302 posts)A long time ago I was in college and one of my jobs was AV tech for the distance learning center. One evening I was arriving at work, I operated a booth with all the controls for a classroom studio. There was another booth to another classroom set next to mine and the doors were right next to each other and were usually open. As I was setting my things down and greeting to operator on duty I heard a loud crash in the booth next door.
I stepped over to look in and saw that my coworker was having a grand mal seizure and needed help. While my other coworker came in to help, I instructed him in how to help and stood up to address the professor of the class, a graduate level nursing class and the prof was the director of the program...
She had that same look on her face, a look of disgust and impatience. She was pissed that she was interrupted and was not concerned with the life threatening event my coworker was suffering. She never considered helping or inquiring as to his well being. I then ran out to the 'desk' and demanded and ambulance.
That event troubled me so much that I had to go have a talk with the dean so that someone who should know was aware of her callousness. He was pretty upset about it.
That is a total lack of humanity there.
