You already know

The NY Times editorial board concisely sums up the bad guy:

You already know Donald Trump. He is unfit to lead. Watch him. Listen to those who know him best. He tried to subvert an election and remains a threat to democracy. He helped overturn Roe, with terrible consequences. Mr. Trump’s corruption and lawlessness go beyond elections: It’s his whole ethos. He lies without limit. If he’s re-elected, the G.O.P. won’t restrain him. Mr. Trump will use the government to go after opponents. He will pursue a cruel policy of mass deportations. He will wreak havoc on the poor, the middle class and employers. Another Trump term will damage the climate, shatter alliances and strengthen autocrats. Americans should demand better. Vote.

They left something out though.

He’s just bad. He’s a bad human. He’s thoroughly awful in just about every way one can think of. (Can you think of any exceptions? Is he funny? Nice to children? Loyal? Honest? Charming?) The result is he’s an inspiration to thoroughly awful people to be even more awful. He’s a role model for how to be a complete shit. He’s a bully, he’s cruel, he’s greedy, he’s ungrateful, he’s vain, he’s a liar – and on and on. He’s poisonous, and it’s degrading and demoralizing to have him squatting in the top job.
