Just had a funny thought about how politicians are always taking pictures holding

babies. However, the germaphobe at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue would implode if a baby drooled on him or his suit. No pictures for him.

Babies are messy, unpredictable, and demanding, but they're little humans who need our love and attention to flourish. Really, not so much different than all of us. I doubt Trump is capable of that kind of empathy or insight.
