We extrapolate from what Trump has done in the past in order to predict what he will do in the future.
That’s all we can do because everybody promises and Trump promises the most.
Trump has been corrupt in his business dealings. There are a hundred examples and Hillary has a thousand in her little black box.
He has been immoral in his personal life. He has bragged about serial adultery and sleeping with the wives of other men.
He is an inveterate bully and loves to sue people.
There is nothing in his history that makes me trust him.
He will not build a wall. And he WILL let illegals back in.
It’s in his genes.

Understood. For me, however, I recognize in Trump the normal attributes of a wildly successful CEO (and I have known a number of them). These people are almost always a bit predatory, a bit taken with themselves . . . pragmatic to a fault, even perhaps a bit underhanded for most people’s tastes.
This is what I think the country needs badly right now.
I love it that Trump is a great businessman but not CEO of a globalist corporation. He is (mostly) self-made billionaire who is NOT PRIMARILY an investor. He has employed tens of thousands and hung out at countless construction sites.
You can trust such a person totally in the context of a deal, meaning, if they say they will do something they will do it.
OTHERWISE, NO. No great businessman can be trusted in the same sense as most of us would like to believe. They basically believe that Adam Smith’s Invisible Hand will make every act virtuous at the end of the day, if it is profitable.
