My point was to illustrate that previous presidents have also done things which could be considered unpresidential depending on your opinion. Unless I'm missing some official definition of presidential, these are all things that you personally believe are unpresidential. I'm not saying I disagree with you, but things like "never takes the high road" sound a bit biased.

I agree that "presidential behavior" is a subjective term. Doesn't make it useless - just subjective.

Are you arguing the counter, that his personal behavior is in any way laudable? Do you think he's a good role model, and would want your children to emulate his behavior?

I don't have to think that he's a good role model to think that previous presidents have also violated human rights and eroded freedoms.
