   Trump is mentally incapable of experiencing empathy. That is simply not possible.

   It is possible that one of his Trump's handlers coached him to perform this stunt. But he would detest having to do it. And that would almost certainly mean that the event was staged.

     @w7voa OK, that's a wildly uncharacteristic gesture for Trump - showing empathy is something we expect from Harris, not him.

     I'm curious about the whole video - did one of Trump's handlers point her out and basically tell him he needs to do that, or did he think of that all by himself?

     Trump briefly pauses his rally after a woman is overcome by the heat and the Republican nominee then walks down from the podium to hug her.
