25. Finger wagging and scolding and lecturing is a big turn-off for many people.

It's demeaning. It's lording. It's insulting. It's irritating. I don't blame you for feeling that way. Nobody likes that type of sour and bossy behavior. My entire family feels the same way, and that's just one of the many reasons they give for refusing to support him.

All I'm saying is, it's definitely a weakness and it's not a personality trait that people want in a POTUS. That type of bossiness and aggressiveness does not indicate that dignity and respect will be brought back to the White House. He lacks the temperament and demeanor that people long for.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
