lol - if his 'former' VP endorsed him it would be a NEGATIVE. And he had very few honest people around him. Is this a character flaw? Maybe - but Trump does trust people to do the right things. Politics is relatively new to him - along with a WHOLE NEW level of deception. I for one don't think he will make the same mistakes again. We will know pretty early if he drains the swamp - time will be critical. He must eliminate the deep state quickly or they will eliminate him.
