To Trump: How Are You Not Ashamed?

N'as-tu pas honte?
¿No te avergüenzas?
Как вам не стыдно?
Wie schämst du dich nicht?
Have you no shame?

It's a common expression in every language. It's a question that Donald Trump should probably answer on a daily basis. We should keep asking him that. Whenever he embarrasses our nation in a tweet. Whenever he says something so stupid that it makes us all cringe. We should ask him that question, which will go unanswered, of course.

I think you have to have a consciousness to feel shame.
You have to know when your wrong.
He never thinks hes wrong.
Look at his twisting the meaning of the London Mayors words to BE right.
We feel the shame he should feel, whether we voted for him or not.
He makes all of us look like him.
Im glad my Dad, 23 years and 10 months in the USAF didnt have to see this mess.

At least not consciously. Some psychologists think narcissism is a subconscious mechanism that allows a person to repress feelings of inferiority and shame. Maybe so. But I think "narcissist" is just the technical term for "asshole."

and frequently. And yes, all narcissists are probably assholes, but all assholes are not necessarily narcissists.

He has no shame. Along with no compassion, empathy, tact, respect, sensitivity, diplomacy or leadership.
