Then, after the address, Trump let out an awkward, lengthy “OK” before his mic was removed:

If this president’s appalling dumbshit callousness wasn’t already priced in this hot mic moment would be a week-long scandal https://t.co/diJiqhDxxg

Everything is an act for him.
Everything is pretend.

He has no sense of the gravity of the situation because he lacks the capacity for empathy.
