Steve Schmidt: Trump Is Politicizing Release of Hostages, ‘Has a Complete Incapacity for Human Empathy’

‘It’s not about Donald Trump... and he just doesn’t seem capable intellectually or emotionally of understanding any of that’

EXCERPT:

SCHMIDT: “He has a complete incapacity for human empathy. You have three prisoners of the North Korean slave state, one who had been kept underground or in a cell absent any sunlight who asked to step off the plane in Alaska so he can see the sun. And it’s about Donald Trump. It’s about the ratings. It’s not a game. When he took his oath of office, he swore to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. He works for the American people. So, it’s a great day because three of our countrymen are back home in this country where they belong, not in the North Korean slave state. But it’s not about Donald Trump. It’s about those men. It’s about their families. It’s about all of us. And he just doesn’t seem capable intellectually or emotionally of understanding any of that.”
