22. He doesn't joke like a decent man...

I think you're wrong in believing he's basically decent, and I'll point to his idea of "jokes" to back me up.

His idea of a joke is to mock someone else, then pull the "just joking" ploy (such as the reporter he barbed about thinning hair).
However, self-depricating humor is completely absent; the closest you'll find is infamous "trifecta" joke, but even there the idea he might have lacked the vision to foresee something is just a minor part, the set-up, not the punchline.

He even proved literally that he can't utter the words "shame on me".

Decent men don't have problems with these things. Bush does.
