He shows remarkably poor judgment.
Empathetic old anti-fascist, anti-racist American, adorer of living things. I hate injustice even when it's happening to someone else, and I always vote.

Someone just posted the image of the NYT page describing him evicting a stroke victim, and that picture of his face was choicely punchable.

One thing that’s unquestionably true is that the Trump administration has lied so much and so often, if they say “Trump is fine,” literally no one can take their word for it.
