This man. This ex-president. This "exemplar for the people":
- Do you think he's ever cooked a meal for any of his wives?
- Baked cookies with his kids?
- Made deviled eggs for a picnic?
- Has he ever driven an hour to help a friend with car trouble?
- Helped a neighbor move some heavy furniture?
- He has 5 kids - has he ever changed a diaper? Swaddled? Sat up with whooping cough?
- Dozed off on the couch with one of his kids asleep on his chest?
- Has he ever fed the dog? Does he have a dog? Any pets at all?
- Has he ever tended a flower garden or even watered a house plant?
- Has he worked up a household chores schedule with roommates?
- Has he ever built or fixed anything with his own hands?
- Worried about making rent?
- Stood vigil at the bedside of a dying relative?
- Sat around a campfire and told ghost stories or sang songs?
- Hiked up to tree line?
- Cleaned up after a party?
- Been moved to tears by music or other great art?
- Lost sleep worrying about a friend?
- Been in love?
- Has he lain on his back and gazed at the sky?
Is there even the slightest hint of tenderness, or honor, or human decency anywhere in him?
