I Don't Think Trump Realizes He Has The Ability To Perhaps Do Good Things.... [View all]

Unfortunately he has been hijacked by establishment Repugs that have taken him over and will push thru their failed policies that will damage the U.S.

He is not smart enough to see this and that will be his downfall.
