To me, your POV is similar to Michael Medved's in that he is an intelligent, reasonable man of high integrity. He too, like you, considers Trump to be a bloviating buffoon. He believes that we can use logic to persuade our political opponents to see things our way.
Under normal circumstances I would agree, but we passed normalcy a long time ago. And while "apathetic, informed conviction" is certainly appropriate in personal interactions, it isn't going to work on the public stage.
Afterall, what is the logical response to people that call us racists, bigots, homophobes and on and on regardless of what we say. Frankly, I'm sick of moral midgets insulting my sincere beliefs.
Trump is a blow torch and an atom bomb aimed at the PC industry. I'm a reasonable man but sometimes you have to fight, and if not now; when?

I believe Trump is a very intelligent man who is addicted to the limelight, someone who will seek power anyway that he can (changes his political party and support more often than Hillary changes her hairstyle) and therefore is someone who cannot be trusted.

Aren't we all!? But I see Trump playing people because he knows the buttons to push, and not because he believes as we do.
I would not trust him beside me in a foxhole.
