Paul, I hope you understand that you have never meant Trump and what you know of him has been delivered via a media with a perceptive and objectives.  It is important to recognize the limits of your and my knowledge of these people.  The motives you ascribe to Trump are human motives and they are present in all of us, the media personalities included.  I regret that we do not have objective, neutral sources of information.  We don't.  I am sad that so many swallow what they read and hear second-hand and project their own venal sides onto others.
