I don’t know that Trump is in this for himself any more than any other candidate. Personal ambition is certainly a part of what motivates most people to run for President. That in and of itself shouldn’t necessarily disqualify him as long as he’s motivated by patriotism as well.
Trump is not perfect. He’s wrong on this issue. It is true that at times, he is a loose cannon. On the other hand, he’s impressed me in a lot of other ways. Every candidate running has said or done something that I don’t agree with. In every case, one has to decide whether the pros outweigh the cons.
As far as the theory that he’s just a flash in the pan who will drop out once he gets bored, I don’t believe that to be the case, but I guess we’ll see.
Please write down a list of the “lot of other ways” Trump “impresses” you.
