This, but unironically.
That is indeed how malignant pathological narcissism works.
“Why did that asshole pass out right now? Couldn’t he have done it elsewhere? Can you get him out of here?”
In his first term, someone coughed and that's almost exactly how he reacted.
No no you dont understand. He watches that very well. He is doing exactly what he wanted. Gain power, loot it blank, leaving nothing behind, and run off
Here's Obama turning around mid-speech to catch a fainting pregnant woman
This is an amazing photograph.
And what a stark contrast it presents with the picture in the post. Thank you for including this picture.
Here's video of it too. "I gotcha. You're ok. (to microphone) This is what happens when I talk too long"
Notice how he didn't rant about himself being "a hero" or bring this up again later, how he "saved a pregnant woman single handedly". No, he thanked the people around him.
And turning to grab her "here you go, you're ok, I'm right here, I gotcha, you're ok" and to microphone "This is what happens when I talk too long"
Obama is familiar with the signs of women going weak in the knees in his proximity.
He wasn't perfect, but damn if he wasn't cool. I miss the way things felt under Obama.
This is hands down one of the most disturbing images I have ever seen.
The one where he grins and thumbs up while holding the baby orphan, whose parents had just been killed by a Trump loving murderer tops this. Slightly.

I know it’s easy to see a still image with no context and assume the worst. Below is a YouTube video showing the entire scene.
Trump did get up when it happened and went over to look at the man. Everyone was already handling it and he turned back around and that’s the still image.
He even updated the press at the end explaining that the man got light headed but was okay.
Trump, looks absolutely unconcerned, the way he looks over at the guy on the floor, is really really how someone looks at a dead animal on the side of the road. He looks borderline annoyed.
Thank you. I really wish people would quit making things up and taking things out of context. There is enough awful stuff going on. Adding fake and out of context junk just makes it harder to get people to believe the real problems when they're shown.
I don't see anything in the video that suggests his reaction is misrepresented in the picture. He stares at the man with apparent frustration and contempt for a few seconds then turns away as shown in the photo.
But it might still be deemed noteworthy if the misinterpretation stemming from this picture happens to be well aligned with the reality of all the horror caused by Trump.
Well he's got form for ignoring people who have hurt themselves. Search up about what he did when an 80 year old guy fell over, hit his head and was bleeding all over the floor.

He turned away, but commented how it was disgusting. And that his "beautiful marble" was changing colour...
This scene is definitely going to get dramaticized in the future movie/documentary about Trump. Maybe just a 3 second unmentioned reference, maybe with context, who knows.
He can't look at it because he has a psychological issue where he can't handle any kind of bodily injury or illness. There are lots of stories about his reactions to situations like this, seeing blood, seeing disabled vets or anyone with a physical impairment of any kind, etc.
Sociopath or suffering dementia?
Yes.
It's an inclusive "or".
Poopie diaper time
Trump doesn't like to be seen with "weak" people. Veterans in wheelchairs. POWs.
He has been seen with them but only on very rare occasions because he is personally revolted by them.
Remember this story from years ago?
Donald Trump says he turned his back on 'dying' 80-year-old man because it was disgusting
Yikes
Fuck me. If that isn't cold hard evidence of sociopathy/psychopathy, I don't know what is. Yeah, blood and wounds can be gross, but your empathy is supposed to override that in the moment. These quotes read like there's zero of that going on - it's just vulgar biology to him.
Looka likes having a really soft shit.
I'm still going with dementia.
Why not both
There is no doubt he suffers from malignant narcissism. The dementia is more dubious on account of him also being so incredibly stupid, so it is kinda hard to tell. The narcissism is easy to spot though.
That’s a newer layer on top
Oh no! A known douchebag behaving like a douchebag, i would never believe that...
He had a nice nap in his chair just before this happened, so he's a bit groggy. He doesn't know what's going on. Even if he understood the situation, he wouldn't have cared.
I'm not saying he isn't enough of a narcissistic sociopath to ignore a medical emergency happening a few feet away... but I'm also not sure that his dementia addled brain is able to process an unexpected event like that as it's happening.
"WHY ARE THE CAMERAS NOT ON ME!!A!!AA!11"
He's on his mark and the cue cards are right there. Count him in so he can say the line. The show must go on.
Probably the best thing the person who collapsed could hope for in that moment
