He leads by example, publicly celebrating the passing of respected Americans like Rob Reiner and Robert Mueller, referring to fallen soldiers as <em>&#8220;suckers and losers,&#8221;<\/em> and making bellicose, genocidal threats against innocent civilians in Iran, saying that <em>&#8220;a whole civilization will die tonight&#8221;<\/em> if they don&#8217;t submit to his MAGA-sterial demands. And sadly, his cult devotees follow along.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=69499\" target=\"_blank\">Trump\u2019s INSANE Threats and War Crimes Against Iran are Dismissed by His Acting Attorney General<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In an apparent attempt to drive home this despicable persona, Trump posted a comment on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=69682\" target=\"_blank\">his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social<\/a><\/strong>, on Monday morning that affirms his commitment to heartlessness. The comment is his refutation of an accusation that he might have actually cared briefly about the well being of someone other than himself. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/trumpstruth.org\/statuses\/38163\" target=\"_blank\">Trump complained<\/a><\/strong> that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Jonathan Karl, of ABC Fake News, made a statement that I called him early in the morning, the day after the assassination attempt, to ask whether or not HE was OK. No, this was a hit on ME, not HIM, and I didn\u2019t make such a call, why would I do that? He called me, but I didn\u2019t take his call \u2014 He just confirmed that to me when he called again. I would say that\u2019s very dishonest reporting. He\u2019s trying to make himself look important but, I\u2019m not surprised, because it comes from ABC Fake News! President DONALD J. TRUMP&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Let the repulsiveness of that comment sink in for a moment. Trump is outraged that Karl reported on a phone he call he received from Trump wherein he said that Trump expressed concern for his welfare after a gunman&#8217;s attack at the White House Correspondents&#8217; Dinner (WHCD) last week. But Trump felt compelled to insist that he never made the call or felt any concern for Karl. <em>&#8220;Why would I,&#8221;<\/em> Trump asked.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed. Why would Trump ever show any concern for anyone but himself when he&#8217;s never done that before? Trump seems to think that Karl&#8217;s remarks drew attention away from Trump, which is totally intolerable. Furthermore, Trump wasn&#8217;t about to tolerate anyone thinking that he had suddenly developed the character flaw of feeling compassion.<\/p>\n<p>There is also the question of who is telling the truth about the phone call. Karl reported that he received Trump&#8217;s call on the morning after the WHCD. He posted a video describing what happened during an appearance on Good Morning America the next day, saying that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;It was president Trump calling. He said he was calling to see if I was okay. It was clear the real reason he was calling, in addition to that, was that he wanted to be sure that this dinner gets rescheduled. He knew that I had been involved in planning White House Correspondents&#8217; Dinners. He says we have to get this done, and done soon.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"embed-twitter\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u201cIt was a frightening and bewildering scene.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>ABC News Chief Correspondent <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jonkarl?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@jonkarl<\/a>\u00a0describes the scene from inside the White House Correspondents&#39; Dinner as gunfire erupted. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/5t4zlJfhQi\">pic.twitter.com\/5t4zlJfhQi<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Good Morning America (@GMA) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GMA\/status\/2048722585077063694?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 27, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p>On the other hand, Trump is refuting Karl&#8217;s reporting a week after it was broadcast. What took him so long? What&#8217;s more, Trump alleges that Karl called Trump back to affirm that Trump never called him the first time. Why would Karl have done that when Trump had not yet said anything about the call at all? And for the record, as of this writing, Karl has not affirmed what Trump said that he had affirmed.<\/p>\n<p>There is, of course, another reason to believe Karl&#8217;s version of events. That is that Trump is a documented pathological liar. And now we see that his psychosis is so severe that he will even lie to refute something that was said about about him that most people would consider to be a compliment. So it is abundantly clear that Trump is determined to maintain his image as a bloated windbag of hatefulness.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED STORIES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=69837\" target=\"_blank\">Crybaby Trump Whines that Fox News Hosted Bill Maher, Who Trump Has Hosted at the White House<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=69818\" target=\"_blank\">Trump Will Soon Regret His Flagrantly Racist Meme Calling Hakeem Jeffries a \u2018Low IQ Thug\u2019<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=69738\" target=\"_blank\">DISGUSTING: Trump Uses White House Correspondents Dinner Shooting to Justify His Vanity Ballroom<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Be sure to visit and follow News Corpse<br \/>\non <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewsCorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NewsCorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/newscorpse.bsky.social\" target=\"_blank\">Bluesky<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@newscorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Threads<\/a>.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>And check out my books on Amazon:<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2aOYFpM\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\">Fox Nation vs. Reality:<br \/>\nThe Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Thanks so much for your support.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The last thing that Donald Trump would ever want is for anyone to think that he might harbor human feelings of empathy or concern for others.
