Donald Trump just continues to make his presidency worse with every passing day. The president’s comments have only continued to get more unhinged and revolting throughout his pathetic government shutdown as he becomes more sensitive to the backlash and negative media coverage he’s been getting over it.

Earlier today, the president made some truly horrendous comments outside the White House as he spoke about all the federal workers who were getting screwed over during the shutdown. Fully aware that his shutdown would make many of these employees unable to play their bills, the president not only said that these federal workers support his decision (many do NOT), but he actually said he “can relate” to them.

NBC News White House correspondent Kelly O’Donnell asked Trump, “Mr. President, can you relate to the pain of federal workers who can’t pay their bills?”

I’m not sure what planet Trump is living on right now, but here’s what he said:

I can relate. I’m sure that the people that are on the receiving end will make adjustments, they always do, and uh, they’ll make adjustments, people understand exactly what’s going on.”

Absolutely heartless — there is NOTHING about being an everyday working American that Trump can relate to. Trump also lied and said “many of those people that won’t be receiving a paycheck… agree 100% with what I’m doing.”

O’Donnell then asked, “how much pain [Trump is] willing to withstand politically.” Trump responded by trashing all of the presidents before him:

Trump’s insensitivity has truly reached sociopathic proportions — this proves it.
