Line 213:
:* The same can be said of his cabinet picks. Rick Perry (former Governor of Texas and Trump's first Secretary of Energy) didn't even ''know'' nuclear energy was part of the package when he said he wanted to “do away with” the department at a 2011 presidential debate. Steven Mnuchin, his first Secretary of the Treasury, is a known spendthrift who has been criticized for making frivolous purchases. Callista Gingrich (his Ambassador to the Vatican) seemed to have no qualifications other than being Catholic, and was likely appointed as a favor to Trump's ally Newt Gingrich. And Scott Pruitt (his EPA chief) had been best known for unsuccessfully suing the EPA ''twelve times''. Oh, and the state he represents, Oklahoma, is among the most polluted in the nation.

* [[Lack of Empathy]]: Is apparently completely incapable of understanding or sympathizing with the feelings of anyone other than himself, as noted by many outside observers and reporters.
* [[Landslide Election]]: Subverted in 2016, inverted in 2020. He claimed his victory in 2016 was "the biggest Electoral Landslide in history, but it was not even close<ref>The biggest electoral landslide in history was, not counting George Washington or James Monroe, who both ran unopposed, John F. Kennedy's victory over Alf Landon, 523 votes to 8. Trump's victory in 2020 is not even in the top 10.</ref> and he lost the Popular vote. While he and many proponents predicted [https://www.valuewalk.com/2020/10/trump-biden-electoral-vote-prediction-stunning-victory/ a 312-Electoral Vote landslide in 2020], he lost 306 to 232. Ironically, Biden's victory was a wider margin that Trump's in 2020, which Trump himself claimed was a landslide.
* [[Large and In Charge]]: 6'3" and 243 pounds as of the end of 2020, with a body mass index over 30, which qualifies him as "obese", although not morbidly so as some have claimed.
* [[Last-Name Basis]]: Due to using his family name as a brand name and the meaning of the word "trump", Donald Trump is referred to as Trump the majority of the time (or occasionally President Trump).
