Yes
3 marriages
Bragging g about the number of women he has had including married women
Name calling and bullying
He may be better than Hillary but I would never want my kids to emulate his behavior

Babe Ruth - not a role model

Lou Gehrig - role model

Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig - teammates … and winners

A conservative president can never be a good role model for children no matter what he/she does thanks to a poisoning, lying education system that takes up political agendas and expands them into hatred whether it matches the situation or not. So the children will never be given the real info of what is happening or did happen. So much for our history instruction. So much for the truth. So much for our future successes.

Was King David a good role model?

What does that have to do with anything? But since you asked, he was chosen by Saul to be king and not a role model.

Any person who is rich and has built a thriving profitable business is a bad role model for children because he promotes wage and wealth inequality /s

Any person who is a serial adulterer with three marriages, who is a braggart and a bully and who has only a passing acquaintance with the truth is no role model, and I don't care how rich he is or what business he built.

But as I said, I voted for a president and not a role model.

Donald Trump is a flawed human being, as we all are, but he’s a far better role model for children than either of the last two corrupt thugs from the democrat party to occupy our White House.

Where is it written that the President, or any other politician, has to be a role model for children? Elective office is not a goal that attracts the most honorable and upstanding of individuals, and especially the presidency. I disagree with you that Trump is any role model for children to follow, but agree that neither are either of his two Democrat predecessors. Or his predecessors going farther back than that.

I would say that Trump is a role model in terms of hard work. The man is a financial success because of his work ethic. We know that, and we’ve seen that work ethic in his campaign speech schedule, especially when contrasted with Sickly Hillary’s schedule.

President Trump is also a role model in terms of patriotism. I cannot imagine that he is enjoying the job. He is facing constant vicious attacks both from the #FakeNews media and from people who are supposed to be government servants dedicated to implementing his agenda. Love of country is the only reasonable explanation for billionaire Donald Trump stepping into that swamp voluntarily.

You can pick and choose and find admirable qualities in anyone. But the question is whether Trump is a role model for children to emulate, and I don’t believe he is. I would not want my nieces or nephews to grow up like him. If they need a role model then I can’t think of any better ones than their parents or their grandparents.

Mostly because only bigots have not forgiven what some perceive as sin

One can forgive the sins of others without wanting their children to emulate them. Or is that bigoted too?
