Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer choked up on Sunday while talking about Donald Trump’s monstrous Muslim ban, leading to a predictably tasteless attack from Trump: Schumer, he said, was crying “fake tears.”
“'Cause I know him,” Trump added of the top Senate Democrat. “I don't see him as crier. If he is, he's a different man. There's about a 5 percent chance it was real. But I think they were fake tears.”
What’s sick is that Trump may actually think he’s praising Schumer here. Trump claims that the last time he cried was when he was a baby. About that:
xNot only is Schumer a non-sociopath, but he knows very personally where this kind of religious hatred and scapegoating can lead:
Not crying at death of parents, brother, family doesn't mean you're a manly man. It means you're a sociopath. https://t.co/MK8XVdbIX6

xSchumer’s grandfather lost his mother and seven siblings. That’s the kind of thing you hear about growing up, the kind of lesson that shapes a family. The kind of bone-deep knowledge that makes you cry real tears when you see your own country going down a dangerous road.
Repeat: Senator Schumer's great-grandmother and 7 of her 9 children were murdered by the Nazis. https://t.co/BswWCIxOlD

But then, Trump doesn’t believe in learning or empathy any more than he’d admit he’s ever cried.
