The Secret Show's John Sutter : Is Donald Trump a ghoul or a sociopath? He says he's been photographed giving a thumbs-up over a grave for more than 50 years .

Sutter asks: What's going on inside Trump ’s mind here? What makes him do this?.

Ahmadullah Karimi was an Afghan interpreter who helped American soldiers during the war.

He and his family were on the run after the fall of Afghanistan .

Will Selber , with the help of fellow veterans, found the family safe house to stay hidden.

Selber set up a GoFundMe campaign to help his former interpreter seeking about $7,000 .

Terry Richardson’s thumbs-up pose is ironic and campy, but Trump 's is post-campy.

Richardson : Trump 's thumbs up pose is fake, but it's sincere because of his sincere expression and the difference between his expression and that of people who are imitating him with utter sincerity.
