How can that be when Trump doesn't even know what his plan is?
Talk about a full on liar. Check out this RECENT video of Trump twisting in the air trying to describe his position on abortion. “Depends on when....”

I can see you watch too many conspiracy movies:
The Pelican Brief 1993(Justices murdered by big oil)
Let me feed your paranoia
1. Why Did He Have a Pillow Over His Head When He Was Found Dead?
Antonin Scalia Conspiracy Theories: Top 5 Questions About His Death
No, it’s a fact. Trump says nothing of substance.
Well, except that he supports Planned Parenthood (kind of), Bush Lied People Died, and government seizure of private property for private, non-infrastructure, projects is dandy.
bkmk
What if this “narcissist” actually beholds something beautiful? Like truth?
In the long term, truth is our friend. Christ will forgive untruths but won’t excuse them; blessings are lost thereby until the habit is rectified.
Is he perhaps homing in on truth a little uncomfortably if not with the total prissy precision you might like?
His plan is to focus on what is right and true as understood by consensus of the American people, i.e. deal... he’s always said so... he knows it... and he is mongo optimistic about it too....
He seems to grasp that righteousness and truth is powerful. He also seems to grasp that it isn’t always easy to get a fix on, in a whirlwind of controversy.
His manner is crude which is why we see a kind of Balaam’s ass figure. But in the long term this will produce a better result than the kind of dodgery that Cruz is currently, sadly, engaged in. And I mean sadly because in principle the light God gave Cruz by belief ought to knock out Trump’s shadowy groping around all hollow. But if Cruz does not use that light, and so far he has used it quite little, then God has given us a back-up.
So he has no core principles. It's whatever direction the wind is blowing.

There are many times where I question whether Trump knows what truth means much less what it is.

Emphasis on the ass. Trump is crude, he's a braggart, he's a bully, but he isn't a leader.

I disagree on that. There are times when you have to stick to your guns and take a stand. Your own post admits that Trump won't do that. He'll go with consensus regardless of what that is. You aren't describing Trump as a leader. You're describing someone who will go with the flow and twist whichever way he has to in order to come up with some sort of deal. That's not what I'm looking for in a president.
His idealistic view of the American civics process he cherished since school days is being besmirched. Maybe he thought the worst sharks were only in the business world. Many are surprised to find that mutual self-interest keeps things going forward in many instances in business, cutthroat though it may be. The GOPe seems to have a talent for self-destruction; not even self-interest seems to penetrate their silos of delusion. A pox on both the established parties.
It has been that way since creation. The core is in God, not us. Catching the right wind is, in fact, the most crucial thing to do.
This DOES seem to suggest he has grasped a set of principles, however idealistic and impractical they seem to us, despite the accusations of others.
In the history of art, the Greek civilization focused on the ideal form and strove for dynamic symmetry and inspiring beauty. As the Roman civilization took over, artists strove for realism, rendering portraits with a warts-and-all approach -- rather like the comparison between our movies of the 50s that celebrated community and family, or good guys beating the bad guys, compared with the squalor and "violence porn" of today's films. You don't come away from most movies today feeling cheerful and inspired, to say the least.
Okay. You put forward some figures without links or source and quoted Trump without links or context, so I can’t really reply. Not that you actually want to hear anything reassuring about the probable nominee, but I try.
The main issue here is whether his character is a sufficient improvement over Hillary's or Bernie's, in case he gets the nomination. That is really the crux of the matter. I contend that it is; that he has grown as a person and that God isn't finished with him, regardless of how many freepers seem to think they are Saint Peter. It's easy to type accusations that someone has "no moral compass" on an anonymous news site. It's harder to live in the public eye and have your life under a microscope in the newspapers and the business press as he has for the past 50 years. All those kinds of slurs reveal to me is that you haven't really researched any of the many, many positives about the man. Try having a glance around his business web site, especially the video of his grown children.
Not after he slashes their huge government contracts, they won’t.

Trump lives by the Payola Roll, and will do nothing to interrupt something so necessary to his business model.

John Poindexter????
Of course, there couldn’t possibly be anything out of order there.
Let the unlimited billions of dollars of illicit dues collection continue to fund the Democrats undoing of the ridiculous American liberty experiment.
My Bad!

Cruz has used that light, and nothing else, constantly, which is why you bristle so.
Your lack of acquaintance with Yeshua leaves you spreading lies about him relentlessly.
Your embrace of the gyrating liar is embarrassing.
