Trump's own image is more important to him than the plight of children that supposedly "moved" him

Via Axios:

Trump is "moved personally" by images of children in cages.

But he won't back down, because he would "look weak," meaning his own image is more important to him than the plight of children that supposedly "moved" him

but you are being played.

Trump is not moved by anything! EVER. He is a narcissistic sociopath who is ONLY ever moved by his own
needs for aggrandizement.

Sociopaths learn how to play for pathos... but they never FEEL any connection to the suffering of others.

He looks like a freak and clown all the time. Every stupid face he makes, every fonky honky thing he does in public.

He is completely self aware of his public image, and dresses like a clown in bad fitting suits to hide his fat, in ridiculous ties to hide his fat, with fake tan make up, with that ridiculous shock wig hairdo that takes hours to sculpt.

He knows he's tan, svelt, with a full head of hair, knows he's the most desireable specimen. And spends all his time covering up evidence to the contrary.

He shows no self awareness when he's sniffling, strutting like Mussolini, bing-binging verbally, he comes off really goofy and spastic all the time in public appearances. But he's focused like a laser on 'how he looks.'
