12. I've heard Trump talk about "beautiful babies" and so on...

...but he always goes back into nasty mode. This is a person who cannot post a holiday greeting without calling people names or telling lies.

People can claim that Trump can be charming, skillful, yada, yada, yada, but he actually keeps the bitterness and boorishness and lawlessness top of mind through his words and behavior. He can't even turn the bitterness off for an Inauguration.

On edit: This is someone who traumatized children in his first term. This is someone who used cutting off medical care to get back at members of his own family. So I naturally snort if someone in the media refers to a "consoler in chief." Nice try, someone in the media.
