I don't understand why this is a complex concept, but Trump "cares" about three things.
1). What he can EAT
2). What he can SPEND
3). What he can FUCK (and, given his age and deteriorating physical & mental health, maybe we're down to two).
A guy COLLAPSED right in FRONT OF HIM in the Oval Office and he turned his back on him and glared straight ahead with a blank expression, like "How DARE you interrupt my press event?"
Madonna Slams Trump for Not Acknowledging World AIDS Day: Ridiculous
I bet hes never watched his best friend die of AIDS, held their hand, and watched the blood drain from their face as they took their last breath, the singer writes

Madonna is commemorating World AIDS Day and condemning Donald Trumps decision not to acknowledge the Dec. 1 date. In an Instagram post on Monday, the Queen of Pop slammed Trump as ridiculous and unthinkable for not highlighting the effects of the disease.
Today is World AIDS Day. For four decades, this day has been internationally recognized around the world by people from all walks of life, because millions of peoples lives have been touched by the HIV crisis, Madonna wrote. People have lost lovers and husbands and wives and girlfriends and boyfriends and mothers and daughters and children to this deadly disease, of which there is still no cure.
Donald Trump has announced that World AIDS Day should no longer be acknowledged, Madonna added. Its one thing to order federal agents to refrain from commemorating this day, but to ask the general public to pretend it never happened is ridiculous, its absurd, its unthinkable.
*****
Madonna continued by mentioning her closeness with the losses associated with the disease, including Martin Borgoyne, her roommate and former tour manager, who died of AIDS in 1986. I bet hes never watched his best friend die of AIDS, held their hand, and watched the blood drain from their face as they took their last breath at the age of 23, she wrote.
