30. I totally agree that Trump only cares about Trump.

I think any Russians who are helping him are being very short-sighted too because he'd turn on them quickly if he gets the idea that they're not kissing his butt.

I only brought up my brother's lady friend because she was so upset about some unpleasant experiences down there that she was talking about voting for Trump (presumably as a backlash), not because she had any well-established attitudes along those lines. At least that's my impression after picking her up at the airport (since my brother is blind and can't drive) and hearing her almost hyperventilate as she described what happened. She might come to her senses later.
