    It is dumb, and not the reason anyone should not vote for him. That said, someone who foreign leaders don’t want to be in a room with could present a problem.

    I hope this article doesn’t convince people, but instead they are convinced by the many, many others showing he is criminal and selfish. It is somewhat satisfying to have someone you really dislike have other undesirable qualities.

      Another way to think about it, at some point even at McDonald’s you’d get fired for poor hygiene if you constantly showed up to work smelling awful. That standard should especially apply to a diplomatic role in government.

      But yeah, this is bottom tier reason not to elect him.

        I imagine that inciting a treasonous insurrection would also be grounds for termination even at McDonald’s.

      In absolute terms, it would be a great reason not to elect him. In relative terms, he’s so awful that it’s very far down the list of reasons he’s unfit to serve.
