sympathy is mentioned in post at the above link

Today Trump offered sympathy, here are the exact words from the story..

While speaking to reporters at the White House on Tuesday, Trump offered sympathy and assistance to the people of Lebanon after the explosion, which left dozens dead and thousands injured and he referred to the incident as a "terrible attack." An estimated 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate stored in a warehouse in the Port of Beirut exploded Tuesday, causing destruction throughout the Lebanese capital. As of Tuesday night, at least 78 people were reported killed and 4,000 injured.

He can’t express empathy or compassion about the virus without admitting error. He can’t admit error.

I agree with you. It’s just one thing to say but his Norman Vincent Peale church thing as a kid (his father) doesn’t allow for that. It’s not just being a salesman. He just can’t have negative. Does not compute.
