41. Trump lacks empathy
Thu Dec 26, 2024, 03:17 AM
Dec 2024

The point of Dicken's Christmas Carol is that the Christmas spirit (empathy to those less fortunate) should be practiced the year round.

So, in the Dickensian sense of the word Christmas is completely antithetical to Trump's character.

Some of MAGA have contempt for the less fortunate than themselves.
