More people were against you vis-a-vis Obama, as well. Popularity is hardly a guarantee of quality. But, hey, at least you are willing to admit that you are taking Trump’s word for it. That’s where I fall short...
I wonder your question too Charles. I answer it for myself with:
. Trump will get some thing from campaigning and being president, and rightly so since he is putting in the effort etc.
. we are already reaping some benefits of by his exposing things more fully then anyone else has.
. Trump would not trash his own name and all he has accumulated for himself and his kids.
. He loves the USA and wants it to thrive.
. He reads people quicker or more fully then most, so he knows when to step back to bargain table and when to step away. I think he likely does it every moment he’s awake, just second nature to him now.
