Truth be told, President Trump, his administration and his supporters have a good deal to be embarrassed about of late.
Yet, not a trace of that emotion is ever apparent from him, his spokespeople or his acolytes. And that ought to be deeply troubling. …
Berkeley psychologist Dacher Keltner maintains that embarrassment is “a sign of respect for others, our appreciation of their view of things, and our commitment to the moral and social order.”
Trump’s apparent inability to express embarrassment is yet another signal of his desire to upend, not just the political order, but also the moral and social order under which we live. CONT.
