Barnicle: Trump ‘Clearly Lacks an Empathy Gene’

‘This is a president of the United States who lacks an empathy gene’

BARNICLE: "Joe, there is no doubt that this shutdown is on one person. His name is Donald J. Trump. He wanted this shutdown, he’s got this shutdown. This is clearly more proof that unfortunately for the United States of America, Mr. Meacham, this is a president of the United States who clearly lacks an empathy gene. He does not understand that real human beings, whole families, there's more than 800,000 people who are being hurt here, the extended families of these people, people who own small variety stores and supermarkets in the areas where they live, who are now suffering a loss of business. I don’t know about you. You get here from Nashville, Tennessee. My sense is, Matt and I were talking about it, if the TSA and the air traffic controllers were shut down, went home, refused to work because they’re not getting paid, this thing would be over in about two hours."
