President Donald Trump does not care about you or me. It’s not like rooting for the Red Sox, who have no idea who you are, because if they did know, they would care. But Trump is not a normal human being. You will never hear him say, as Barack Obama did, after the Marathon bombing, “You will run again.” Trump will never “feel your pain.” He will just never care. And that’s the kind of person we have running the whole show of governing our country, making decisions that affect our lives, deciding who lives here and who does not, all while not knowing or caring who anybody is. Just one heart beats in the world of Trump: his own.
