Men crying. [View all]

President Obama publicly cried at least 7 times during his administration. Most notable during a gun violence speech. Also, when speaking about his wife and daughters.

I know of at least one time when president Biden cried. It was at a DNC speech.

I respect men who can cry without embarrassment.

Both of these men also have a great sense of humor, which is sometimes self-deprecating.

Can you imagine Trump shedding a tear? I can't.

I can't even imagine him having a *genuine* laugh about *anything*, let alone himself.

And this is something I noticed about him apx. 10 years ago.

He's empty. There's nothing there.

I only have an undergrad minor in psychology, so I'm not anything near an expert.

But I noticed this long ago, and it was then I knew how fucked up he was. It was apparent. It wasn't hard to figure this out.

Maybe someone more knowledgeable than me can weigh in on this.

Why don't others see this noticeable trait that he has? A man that is not moved to either tears or laughter.

Like a lizard. Or a snake.
