Der Spiegel takes a long look at Trump. The picture is not an attractive one. Here’s a little bit:

But his most unique characteristic is his lack of scruples. When speaking about his amiable rival Jeb Bush, he has often said that Bush is such a “low-energy person” that no one can even look at him anymore without seeking signs of his lack of energy. Trump has repeatedly said that Marco Rubio, another Republican contender, “sweats a lot,” which, according to Trump, would be a little embarrassing for a president who has to negotiate with “strong leaders like Vladimir Putin.” He recently began claiming that his strongest rival at the moment, Ted Cruz, lacks the legal qualification to become president because he was born on Canadian soil.
