My pre-election view of Trump was somewhat negative, mainly because of his bankruptcies. I just couldn't accept that a billionaire could declare bankruptcy, and still keep his billions, legally, or not. I became a fan, though, upon seeing his ability to stick it to both the media, and the GOPe. I was nearly completely won over......at first.

I started turning negative again upon seeing his unfounded attacks on fellow Republican candidates - Carson the child molester, Cruz the liar, etc. He used the spin of political assassins as facts, then cried "mean" and "unfair" when the same techniques were used against him. I'm now quite negative because I simply don't know what his policies are. Here's why:

He says he's going to build a wall to stop illegal immigrants and also deport them, but then he says he'll "expedite" their return.
He says he'll defund PP abortions, but then continue funding their "good" things.
He says he'll bring back US jobs, but then he manufacturers his stuff over there.
He says he'll repeal Obamacare, but then, he "likes" the mandate.
He says he "always" opposed the Iraq war, but then he won't discuss a media clip showing he didn't.
He says he's a conservative, but then he's spend millions supporting liberal Democrats.

In my view, this looks like nothing more than a typical beltway politician, tailoring his speeches to his audience, with no guiding principled conservative values, as well as his obscene and childish behavior. I don't have the slightest clue as to what his policies as president would be.

I'm with ya. He says all these attention-getting things, but has no policies or ideas to back them up.
