That depends on who you ask and what you personally believe. Donald Trump has received very mixed reactions from within his party, as well as within the Democratic Party. Not just because people see him and what he says very differently, but also because he has shown different sides to his character at different times. On one hand he has shown himself to be very straightforward with what he thinks, he doesn't sugarcoat his opinions. Yet he has moments where he can sound very presidential if he just sticks to his speeches and stays away from impulsive rants. He has said very outlandish and polarizing statements, yet he also uniting very diverse groups of people unlike what you'd expect from him. There are cases of insults and of ego, yet there are cases of extreme compassion, such as with housing Jennifer Hudson, using his private jet to carry a very ill 3 year old boy cross country for treatment, sending money to a previously jailed marine.

Those opposing him generally say he is impulsive and careless, and that he is undiplomatic and a hot head. Some will go further and say they believe him to be racist and/or a xenophobe and that he has no business running for the election. They point to any display of violence at his rallies, him not condemning said outbursts, and even him going so far as to make bombastic comments that can be interpreted as him advocating it. A lot of people don't like his brash way of speaking, they feel like he is belittling, and point out that insulting others can not only come across as low brow but that it detracts from issues at hand.

His supporters however, will see things a lot differently. They find it refreshing that someone is running who doesn't speak with the typical politician's filter, a filter that can at times completely sugar coat or gloss over very significant issues. They like this because it makes him real compared to politicians who either won't fully go into hard topics like him, or lie or try to make less of it/cover it up. His supporters claim career politicians haven't been helping this country, and they are ready for a change. Donald Trump, they may state, has worked in the economy and would be able to improve it better than a politician whose paycheck is guaranteed from our taxes whether they do a good job or not. His supporters also generally claim that there is a usually a truth to what he says even if he shouldn't go so far with it.

I believe he is a mix of all he's shown. A big ego, but a big heart. Strong opinions, and he isn't looking for approval with how he talks or what he says, but he can tone it down too. That said, I don't believe he is careless. Would he have been so successful if he was? He may be a calculated risk taker maybe, but he knows how to deal with the media, and with people. Whatever you think of his character, he is truly a very smart man, or he wouldn't have gotten the nomination. He is a master of persuasion at times, and a very good businessmen.
