Channeling Joseph Goebbels!
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” DR. JOSEPH GOEBBELS, German author - the original Donald Trump "TRUTHFUL HYPERBOLE"
"The ‘words don’t matter’ president"
By Ronald A. Klain November 7, 2017
"Just because some Americans have been blase about Trump's outrageous statements — such as his call for the prosecution of his political opponents — doesn't mean that they would be unconcerned if Trump turned words into action. The failure of many to react to Trump's tweets does not mean those people would be indifferent if Trump actually did the things he has threatened."
Apathy and inaction give Trump power.
A writer finally figured out Trump has suffered while President. Trump has NOT suffered enough, but it is clever to say so.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders said the first thing the media did was blame Trump for the bombs and the synagogue murders.
The reverse is the reality - Trump blamed the media because the media reports only negative things about Trump!
The media is unfair to Trump as he reads his script to ahow sympathy for the Jews killed in Pittsburgh?
Not really, the first words from Trump is there would have been a better outcome if these Jews had an armed guard.
Can we help Donald Trump? Is he suffering? Is there a cure for "Empathy Deficit Disorder?"
"Are You Suffering From Empathy Deficit Disorder?"
How to heal your EDD.
by Douglas LaBier Ph.D. Posted Apr 12, 2010
"It's possible that you're among the large number of people who suffer from EDD. No, that isn't a typo -- I don't mean ADD or ED. It's EDD, which stands for "Empathy Deficit Disorder."
I made it up, so you won't find it listed in the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Normal variations of mood and temperament are increasingly redefined as new "disorders," so I'm hesitant to suggest a new one. But this one's real, and it's becoming more pronounced in today's world."
So explain . . .
". . . Empathy Deficit Disorder is a pervasive but overlooked condition. In fact, our increasingly polarized social and political culture of the past few years reveals that EDD is more severe than ever. It has profound consequences for the mental health of both individuals and society. Yet it's ignored as a psychological disturbance by most of my colleagues in the mental health professions.
First, some explanation of what I mean by EDD: When you suffer from it you're unable to step outside yourself and tune in to what other people experience, especially those who feel, think and believe differently from yourself. That makes it a source of personal conflicts, of communication breakdown in intimate relationships, and of adversarial attitudes - including hatred - towards groups of people who differ in their beliefs, traditions or ways of life from your own."
Empathy and sympathy are not the same.
"Empathy is different from sympathy. Sympathy reflects understanding another person's situation - but viewed through your own lens. That is, it's based on your version of what the other person is dealing with. ("Yeah, I can sympathize with your problem with your elderly mother, because I have my own problems with mine ..."). The narcissist can be sympathetic in this way."
Tweety has lived a lifetime without feeling empathy for anyone. Tweety's record of fraudulent dealings make it clear he cannot feel what it is like to be cheated, like his Trump University cheated so many people.
"In contrast, empathy is what you feel only when you can step outside of yourself and enter the internal world of the other person.
. . .
EDD grows when people focus too much on acquiring power, status, and money for themselves.
. . .
You lose touch with the true reality, that all humans are interconnected and interdependent - all organs of the same body, so to speak. Your sense of being a part of the larger interwoven community - which is absolutely necessary for survival in today's world - fades away.
. . . considerable research shows that the capacity to feel what another person feels is "hard-wired" through what are called "mirror neurons." Functional magnetic resonance imagery (fMRI) shows that regions of the brain involving both emotions and physical sensations light up in someone who observes or becomes aware of another person's pain or distress. Literally, you do feel another's pain or other emotions. Similar research shows that generosity and altruistic behavior light up pleasure centers of the brain usually associated with food or sex."
Is there any way we can overcome our dislike, perhaps hate of Tweety due to his rhetoric and behavior?
"Empathy For Someone You Dislike:
It's especially challenging to generate empathy towards someone you flat-out dislike - maybe even hate. Or, with whom you've had big-time conflicts: perhaps an ex-spouse, or someone at work. But you can do it by extending the above practice.
- Tell yourself how or why that person might have developed negative attitudes or feelings about you. Imagine what the conflict feels like from within his or her perspective.
- Entertain the idea that you are only partially right; perhaps wrong altogether.
- Next, open yourself to seeing yourself through the eyes of that person. Just observe, without judging him or her, defending yourself, or agreeing with any of it."
There is NO way I can overcome my dislike, and distrust of Tweety, but occasionally I do not hate him. T
weety needs to show me he can feel empathy. Tweety will never show me he can feel empathy.
Kellyanne Conway no doubt feels the same as Sarah.
"Hasn’t Trump suffered enough?"
By Dana Milbank October 29, 2018 at 8:21 PM
"Eleven Jews are dead in Pittsburgh, gunned down during Shabbat services allegedly by a man who shared President Trump’s paranoia about a migrant caravan. Pipe bombs were sent to more than a dozen of Trump’s favorite political targets, including the homes of two former presidents, Democratic leaders and CNN.
But let us not lose sight of the real victim here: Donald Trump.
White House press secretary Sarah Sanders hadn’t given a briefing in nearly a month, so she had a lot of time to build up grievances before Monday afternoon’s session. She emerged half an hour late with a scowl, and read a written statement containing the requisite denunciations of the attack in Pittsburgh and affirmations of Trump’s affection for Jews.
But when the questioning got going, it became clear that she was rather less animated by the pipe bombs and the synagogue massacre than by perceived attacks on Trump by the media."
Sarah is an excellent understudy for the master, Joseph Goebbels.
"“The very first thing the media did was blame the president and make him responsible for these ridiculous acts,” she began. “That is outrageous.”
So unfair!"
Sarah loves her President and defends him.
"“I think it would be nice if, every once in a while, we could focus on a few of the positive things the president has done instead of just attacking him,” Sanders said before calling an end to the briefing and walking out."
Sarah "took her ball" and left the "game." Kinda' whiny I'd say. Not Goebbels-like at all. Come on Sarah, be strong.
"
To relieve my own guilt at bringing the president to this fragile state, I hereby rescind any and all blame I have cast on him. Trump’s rhetoric is not responsible for the pipe bombs or the synagogue shooting or anything else. Also, Trump should be given A-pluses and no blame for all inadequate hurricane responses, he should not be blamed for Russian interference (it was made up by bitter Democrats) and there was no collusion. Furthermore, Hillary Clinton only won the popular vote because of fraud, Trump signed more bills than any other president, CNN ratings are at an all-time low, the tax cut was the biggest ever, President Barack Obama bugged Trump Tower, Trump’s inauguration set an attendance record and something bad happened last night in Sweden.
There, you poor, victimized president. No more blame. Now can you tone it down?"
NOW WILL PRESIDENT TWEETY TONE DOWN HIS GASLIGHTING RHETORIC! WILL HE?
Do not hold your breathe folks, and do not expect the Joseph Goebbels understudies of this Administration to do anything to tell the truth, face reality, or use the facts as they defend Tweety's 100% total inability to show sympathy in any real way. He reads what his surrogates and employees write for him, and they have to write it because he cannot think of hat to say, and he reads it with NO feeling whatsoever.
The best Tweety can do to sympathize in the face of a mass murder is say get a gun!?

Lack of empathy is one of the most striking features of people with narcissistic personality disorder. It's a hallmark of the disorder in the same way that fear of abandonment is in borderline personality disorder."
"Inability to feel empathy
In most situations, lack of empathy is associated with alexithymia. Alexithymia is associated with an inability to identify feelings in oneself. How can one identify a feeling in another without being able to identify a feeling/emotion within oneself.
