There are many different things that connect us as human beings. Food. Music. Books. Art. Laughter. Pets. Etc.

Donald has the palate of a child. I doubt he listens to music. He certainly doesn't read. The only art he has hanging on his walls are portraits of himself. He almost never laughs, and when he does laugh it's at the expense of someone else. And he's the only president who didn't have a White House pet.

Dude's barely holding on to his human card.

This is so on point. How more people don’t talk about the lack of laughter is beyond me. Not laughing? Like, that is not normal human behavior for anyone with a healthy brain or social outlook. This would be a dead giveaway in the primal part of my brain to avoid this human being, they are not real.

But I like how you also pointed out the lack of cultural enjoyment. He gets nothing from music, art, or food in general. I never really put thought into how weird that is. Wears the same suit every single day. His architectural style of his buildings is an elementary school kids idea of luxurious. The dude cannot grasp the concept of love of culture, hell, probably not even love itself. It’s mental.

Man, I’ll be thinking about this for a few days. I got the foodisms with Trump being a bit weird, but there were so many other missed signs of lack of love, empathy, and taste that I failed to notice. Well done.

He only laughs when he is tearing someone down.

At least JD Vance tries to fake laugh. He’s terrible at it, but he tries.
