To Donald J. Trump, the idea of helping other people is a punishment

Donald J. Trump mocked Serge Kovaleski’s physical disability in November 2015, because he’s cruel and chooses not to empathize with other people. He believes the rest of the world thinks and behaves the same as he does.

I read something yesterday, a story from CNN about Trump trying to get Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristin Nielsen to release immigrant peoples detained by our government onto the streets of so-called Sanctuary Cities as a punishment. Something about the idea seemed bizarre to me, but I couldn’t articulate it. Was the story even true?

After reading the CNN account, I woke up this morning and saw these two tweets from Donald J. Trump where he confirmed the story was true.
