What does it mean to trust someone? Usually we think of it as trusting them to do what is good or right for us. But a friend of mine once said (this was years ago, not someone now the news): "I totally trust Bob...to do what is in Bob's interests!" That was a different take on trust, essentially saying "I have confidence in Bob's consistency, he will remain true to what he values."
In this latter sense, I trust Donald to stand by principles...at least his one principle. The Donald Principle!
Many people seem to think Donald is going to do the following:
“He’s going to deport all the illegals so we can have our country back.”But is he? Is that even what he says he is going to do?
“He’s going to clean out all the cronies and hacks in the Washington establishment.”
“He’s going to deal mercilessly with the Muslim threat.”
Daren Jonescu writes an insightful piece about Trump's supporters' Trust in Trump. He sums it up with this sort of tongue-in-cheek line:
"Give in to the magic, ladies and gentlemen. Trump will do what he says..."If you Trust in Trump, you owe it to yourself to read Why I Trust Trump. Then get behind a candidate who actually does represent your values...and it's not Trump.
