I can&#8217;t find it. I&#8217;ll keep looking until I do.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nDonald J. Trump, of course, is the shameless individual about whom I am referring. His latest act of supreme snarkyness involves his response to the death of former FBI director Robert Mueller. &#8220;Good,&#8221; Trump said, &#8220;I&#8217;m glad he&#8217;s dead.&#8221;\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nLet&#8217;s remember a couple of things here. No one in Trump&#8217;s family ever has worn the nation&#8217;s military uniform. Donald Trump infamously got a physician to sign off on a claim of bone spurs that kept the future POTUS out of serving during the Vietnam War. And yet &#8230;\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThis pile of pig dookey rejoiced in the death of a man who volunteered for duty in the Marine Corps, served in Vietnam, was wounded with a rifle shot in the leg, was cited for valor many times, came home and then led the FBI as the agency was tasked with investigating the terror attack of 9\/11.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nTrump has been vilified by Democrats and Republicans, by liberals and conservatives over his remarks about Mueller. Does it seemingly pierce what passes for his heart? Not that I can tell.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nTrump is a sociopath. Pure and simple. He has no moral compass. He is guided by nothing resembling an overarching philosophy. He is totally self-consumed, self-absorbed and full of self-aggrandizement.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nI fear the English language lacks the terminology that ever can penetrate this clown&#8217;s narcissistic shell.\r\n\r\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=jkanelis\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How in the world does one heap shame on an individual who shows zero sign of shamelessness, one who seems to care little &#8212; if anything &#8212; about what others think of decisions he makes?
