A quote from a movie about the Nuremberg Trials (trial of the Nazi war criminals that murdered over 6 million people):  the psychiatrist in the movie was trying to understand how the Nazi's could cold bloodily murder all those people.  "evil is .... the absence of empathy..... the incapacity to feel with their fellow man." It does not speak well of President Trump to be characterized as lacking empathy. It does not bode well for our country and the whole that the person leading the most powerful military in the world lacks empathy.
