The presidency hasn't changed him

by Dylan Byers @CNNMoney

The "dignity of the office" does not seem to concern him. He is distracted from immense responsibilities by personal grievances. And he still believes it is acceptable to publicly degrade women based on their physical appearance ...

... He can not help attacking his critics in the media, even if those attacks reflect negatively on him, distract attention away from his executive and legislative efforts, and threaten his legacy ...

Can't recall when I first heard of him, but even then he struck me as a complete and utter asshole.

Until we accept this and set out to rectifying it by putting the elected president in place where she should be, we are just putting out fires.

Of course the office doesn't change the holder.

You'd have to have in you already for the importance of the office to make an impact.
