...............as tempting as it is the list all the disqualifying things Don has done (and pretend Joe had done them) that would ordinarily make anyone a pariah in politics I'm only going to mention a few. Because I am a firm believer that when people see a list of a few hundred things it overloads the senses.
1. Stealing money donated to a charitable foundation.
Underwood alleged in her lawsuit that Trump’s charity was, for years, “little more than an empty shell” with no oversight by a functioning board of directors, and she pointed out that the nonprofit had not had a board meeting since 1999.
Underwood said the foundation also made a series of questionable donations to other charitable organizations to settle legal claims involving Trump businesses, including his South Florida Mar-a-Lago retreat, while another donation went toward promoting Trump’s international hotels. The attorney general’s office also alleged that Trump handed over control of the charity to his presidential campaign in 2016, as it made strategic donations to charities and events in key campaign states like Iowa and New Hampshire.

2. Took Vladimir Putin's side during a press conference in Helsinki over whether Russia had interfered in the 2016 election.
HELSINKI (AP) — In an extraordinary embrace of a longtime U.S. enemy, President Donald Trump on Monday openly questioned his own intelligence agencies’ firm finding that Russia meddled in the 2016 U.S. election to his benefit, seeming to accept Russian President Vladimir Putin’s insistence that Moscow’s hands were clean.
The reaction back home was immediate and visceral, among fellow Republicans as well as usual Trump critics. “Shameful,” ’'disgraceful,” ’'weak,” were a few of the comments. Makes the U.S. “look like a pushover,” said GOP Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee.
Trump’s meeting with Putin in Helsinki was his first time sharing the international stage with a man he has described as an important U.S. competitor — but whom he has also praised a strong, effective leader.

Remember, the question is what does the board think Biden's chances of re-election would be if he had done either or both of these things? The point of the thread is not to elicit the usual, visceral responses from The Following defending all things Don.
