Funny this is a thing that people in some country need to work through. Personally, I have to fight the feeling of sadness and guilt every time I read about things going on around me that I should but do not do something to help. For the things that I am powerless against, honestly I have zero emotion, much less outrage.

So if Trump announced some action that would impinge on you, you would have zero emotion? Your stoicism may be a reflection of the fact that you estimate you will not be affected.
