It could well be on a continuum. But I suspect that trump “cares” for people the way you or I might “care” for a book or a useful tool, as something we like and find useful, not as something we have empathy for.

This, I believe, is the distinction between cognitive empathy – the ability to recognise what other people are feeling – and affective empathy – the extent to which others’ feelings affect yours. Sociopaths/psychopaths score strongly on the former and weakly on the latter, giving them the means to manipulate people and a lack of compunction about doing so.
For people with autism, it’s the other way round: they are likely to have difficulties realising what others are feeling; but once they do realise, they are no less likely than neurotypical people to be e.g. distressed by the suffering of others

Friendship is liking peeing your pants. Everyone can see it, but only you can feel the warmth.

That’s even better, plus you can attribute yours. I have no idea where mine came from. To be fair though, I didn’t go looking to see if I could find out who said it first.

Turns out it was Robert Bloch, a horror novelist. Another of his quotes is often miss attributed to Stephen KIng.
“Despite my ghoulish reputation, I really have the heart of a small boy. I keep it in a jar on my desk.”
― Robert Bloch
