**Headline:** “Empathy for Trump? Only If You’re Playing Favorites”
So, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent wants us to give President Trump a little more empathy after his latest incendiary comment about Robert Mueller being dead. Let’s unpack that, shall we? Bessent argues that we can’t really grasp what Trump has been through—because, obviously, the guy who’s been in the spotlight for years now is just a misunderstood soul.
Sure, let’s ignore that Trump’s words are often as sharp as a cheese grater. Instead, we’re supposed to focus on the fact that he’s had a tough time. I guess that’s a special kind of logic that only works when you’re on the “right” side of the political spectrum.
What’s really fascinating here is the double standard at play. Imagine if a Democrat had said something like that about a Republican. The media would have roasted them alive. But here we are, with calls for understanding instead of accountability. Classic.
So, we’re left with this question: Why is empathy only reserved for certain politicians? Is it because they’re playing the victim card, or does it just come down to who’s in charge of the narrative?
