Since Senator Mitt Romney&#8217;s (R-UT) brutal Washington Post op-ed tearing into President Trump two days ago, the commentariat has been buzzing about how to judge Trump&#8217;s character &#8212; and what such a judgment means about our view of the presidency and the Republican Party. Judgment of Trump&#8217;s character seems to have broken down into three main categories: those who believe Trump is of good moral character; those who believe Trump is of poor moral character, and that this necessarily disqualifies him from the presidency; and those who believe Trump is of poor moral character, but that other considerations militate against his disqualification from the presidency.
In my view, those who believe that Trump is a man of good moral character are wrong. He serially cheated on his wives, he cheated people in business, he&#8217;s vulgar, he&#8217;s a habitual friend of untruth, and he attacks anyone who crosses him in the most scurrilous terms. Now, that doesn&#8217;t mean that he doesn&#8217;t have qualities that can be utilized in good ways &#8212; for example, the same stubbornness that leads him to grossly label General Stanley McChrystal a scare-quoted &#8220;General&#8221; also leads him to dismiss those who insist that he kowtow to European public opinion. Some character traits can cut for both good and ill. Trump&#8217;s aggressiveness makes him a hammer in search of a nail &#8212; and sometimes he hits the nail on the head. But overall, Trump isn&#8217;t a man you&#8217;d want your children to model themselves after.
