The former president is a lot of things, but “family man” might be a stretch.

He cheated on his first wife with his eventual second wife. Recently he was convicted of paying a porn star for her silence while married to Melania. He’s faced accusations of sexual misconduct during their marriage. He delighted at his notion he could grab women by the genitals because he was so famous ― comments he made after he’d wed Melania.
