When Trump Was Asked About Melania’s Health, He Babbled About Her Poll Numbers

During a lunch with Republican Senators, Trump was about his wife’s health and started rambling about her poll numbers.

This is so Trump:

America has gone from the loving Obamas to total Trump dysfunction

Trump doesn’t view his wife as a partner. She is a prop, arm candy, or what some would call a trophy wife. Donald Trump doesn’t see his wife as a human being, but as an asset who polls well. One senses that the Trump relationship is not based on love, but was a business transaction. The Trumps make Bill and Hillary Clinton during the Lewinsky scandal look a Norman Rockwell painting of Sunday dinner.

Everything about this administration radiates Trump’s cold and unfeeling nature. Trump doesn’t care about good governance, corruption, treason, his wife, his family, or his duty to the country. Trump is president for Trump, and he can’t see his wife as a human being, the people who are being hurt by his policies have zero chance of existing in this president’s mind.

The United States has gone from the warm and loving Obamas to the empty and cold Trumps, and the spirit of the country has been made worse by the change.
