what in the actual fuck is going on?!?!?!?!
@jeffjarvis
Gift article still requires me to create an account, so that's a huge double F off to the NYT.
This guy is either a cretin of the first order or is trying to suck up to Trump. Trump is a narcissistic psychopath, as said by many mental health professionals, and has no empathy. (Neither does Mr Empathy Exploit Musk, another #narcissist )
"This World-Renowned Negotiator Says Trump’s Secret Weapon Is Empathy"
@jeffjarvis Apart from the stupidity of the whole sentiment: talking about weaponizing empathy means you have no fucking idea about empathy.
@jeffjarvis More like "I think there are emotional-intelligence issues that the media refuses to address"
@jeffjarvis
If I hadn't already canceled last year sometime I would cancel again.
@jeffjarvis that headline is in the style of a weight loss click bait headline. The mystery expert that is not promptly revealed. 'Ha ha, made ya look,'
@jeffjarvis Wow! I never thought I would see "Trump" and "empathy" in the same sentence unless it was in the "something he lacks" sense.

"Trump’s Secret Weapon Is Empathy"
LMAO!! I've seen the NYT print some stupid shit, Iraq being a threat to the USA was a laugher, but that may be the single stupidest lie I've ever seen printed.
How can one's "secret weapon" be something they have never possessed?
@jeffjarvis Someone actually wrote this?! And..the editor let it in?! My grade school teachers would have failed this. WTAH
@jeffjarvis Empathy? Trump? I'll have a gram of whatever this guy's been sniffing!!
@jeffjarvis Empathy?? From Trump??? Wait just a ding dong goll darn minute...Mr. make them legal adults at 14 & throw them jail for a crime? That's empathy?Mr. Name calling anyone who you don't like??
