Trump once told Howard Stern a very funny story about an old man falling and hitting his head and how he didn't help at all and found the whole thing very gross.
![They come running forward, they grab him, they put the blood all over the place—it's all over their uniforms—they're taking it, they're swiping [it], they ran him out, they created a stretcher.
They call it a human stretcher, where they put their arms out with, like, five guys on each side...
I was saying, 'Get that blood cleaned up! It's disgusting!' The next day, I forgot to call [the man] to say is he OK.
It's just not my thing."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pmatvkhyrvuuuyn5rttgoxjl/bafkreifcqtd2cz2eb3u7c32it4cwocnzuqnjywmc64jizccziagsg5xrxy@jpeg)

Antisemitic views and statements
Investigators found handwritten journals expressing antisemitic views, including material about Adolf Hitler, "Nazi culture", and drawings of a Star of David and of a swastika among Thomas's possessions.[16] Authorities stated that his journals also included what appeared to be a reference to a fringe religious movement, Black Hebrew Israelites, which the Anti-Defamation League and Southern Poverty Law Center have identified as linked to antisemitism, with Thomas stating that "Hebrew Israelites" have taken from "ebinoid Israelites".[17] On the Saturday before the attack, the suspect's mobile browser was used to access an article titled "New York City Increases Police Presence in Jewish Neighborhoods".[16] In recent weeks, Thomas had searched online for phrases such as "Why did Hitler hate the Jews" multiple times, as well as "German Jewish Temples near me". He had also searched for "Zionist Temples" in Elizabeth, New Jersey, and in Staten Island, New York.[16]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pmatvkhyrvuuuyn5rttgoxjl/bafkreibgv7srdufdvvuium2lxlyypg3fuzh2qfushtdhxq2iq2a2bjxpru@jpeg)

![One of several of these tracking softwares, revealed here for the first time, is called “Where’s Daddy?”
“You put hundreds [of targets] into the system and wait to see who you can kill,” said one source with knowledge of the system. “It’s called broad hunting: you copy-paste from the lists that the target system produces.”
Evidence of this policy is also clear from the data: during the first month of the war, more than half of the fatalities — 6,120 people — belonged to 1,340 families, many of which were completely wiped out while inside their homes, according to UN figures. The proportion of entire families bombed in their houses in the current war is much higher than in the 2014 Israeli operation in Gaza (which was previously Israel’s deadliest war on the Strip), further suggesting the prominence of this policy.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pmatvkhyrvuuuyn5rttgoxjl/bafkreia4r2w3cp44tyo4bak7hfsyxjsin4zemo66nsmwjy7av5scqpoupu@jpeg)

Aversion therapy
See also: Behavior modification
Aversion therapy used on homosexuals included electric shock and nausea-inducing drugs during presentation of same-sex erotic images. Cessation of the aversive stimuli was typically accompanied by the presentation of opposite-sex erotic images, with the objective of strengthening heterosexual feelings.[35] Another method used was the covert sensitization method, which involves instructing patients to imagine vomiting or receiving electric shocks, writing that only single case studies have been conducted, and that their results cannot be generalized. Haldeman writes that behavioral conditioning studies tend to decrease homosexual feelings, but do not increase heterosexual feelings, citing Rangaswami's "Difficulties in arousing and increasing heterosexual responsiveness in a homosexual: A case report", published in 1982, as typical in this respect.[36]
Other methods of aversion therapy in addition to electric shock included ice baths, freezing, burning via metal coils, and hard labor. The intent was for the subject to associate homosexual feelings with pain and thus result in them being reduced. These methods have been concluded to be ineffective.[37]
Aversion therapy was developed in Czechoslovakia between 1950 and 1962 and in the British Commonwealth from 1961 into the mid-1970s. In the context of the Cold War, Western psychologists ignored the poor results of their Czechoslovak counterparts, who had concluded that aversion therapy was not effective by 1961 and recommended decriminalization of homosexuality instead.[38] Some men in the United Kingdom were offered the choice between prison and undergoing aversion therapy. It was also offered to a few British women, but was never the standard treatment for either homosexual men or women.[39]
In the 1970s, behaviorist Hans Eysenck was one of the main advocates of counterconditioning with malaise-inducing drugs and electric shock for homosex…](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pmatvkhyrvuuuyn5rttgoxjl/bafkreifsi5mtgsca7pbp3copimoek7vrlw5ac64rqufglz7iywcu73myhm@jpeg)
