It's as if the sympathy bump Trump wanted went to the other person.
I have only so much sympathy to offer, and that is only for people who didn't mess up. Most of us know the rules: don't use drugs, don't drive drunk, don't do crime, don't ignore danger signs, don't drive at ridiculous speeds, don't mess with venomous creatures, and don't sleep around. Mine is for people who did nothing to get themselves into the mess -- perhaps they were dragooned into it.
Basically,
1. Don't perpetrate evil, and
2. Don't be a schmuck.
For people who violate rules 1 and 2 there are often plenty of innocent victims. That's before we get to people crippled in combat and workplace accidents, crime, hereditary oppression, poverty, various forms of abuse, acts of God, and genetic diseases.
