People that are able to say stuff like this are exactly why we have the situation we’re having. If you can turn off your empathy for the “bad guys”, all it takes is just misidentifying the “bad guys” once, either by mistake or on purpose or by being manipulated.
Even serial killers or mass murders deserve some basic respect. You got to deal with them appropriately so they can’t be a threat anymore, but once that’s done, the respect should be the same as for anyone else.
Grieving one’s death, and acknowledging that they have a horrible disease that will almost certainly lead them to a slow and painful death at their advanced age, are not the same thing.
The thing about cancer, is that it doesn’t care if you’re a good guy or a bad guy. Cancer is random. Cancer is nature’s Thanos-snap. One’s actions leading up to a diagnosis are largely irrelevant.
Cancer isn’t a punishment. Though the people in this thread who seem to think it is, or perhaps want it to be, are failing a basic empathy test as spectacularly as Trump just did.
When the actions they’ve committed throughout their life has led to the harm of others, there is no intrinsic respect.

Did you grieve when Charles Manson or Jeffery Epstein died?
No, why? I do not grieve for most of people’s deaths.
So your basic respect for them doesn’t necessitate your grieving their deaths?
Of course not. If I grieved every person’s death, I would be constantly grieving.

You think the black men that got sent to prison because of his crime bill have any empathy about his cancer?
Why don’t you go ask 'em and find out? Instead of just using black people as an argumentative scapegoat, that is.
I know the answer. The question was “YOU THINK…” which you promptly deflected from
even hitler?
Life must be simple without nuance.
Nuance is not needed, he caused harm and that’s what he needs to be remembered for
