as many have said in this thread - Trump thinks of himself first. If he realizes he can go down in history as a great president (great - one of his favorite words) and if running a populist administration going contrary to the establishment Repugs - he can realize being a great president.

The potential is there folks. Hell at many times during his life he's been on both sides of the fence.

Maybe his ego can kick him over to the populist side and he truly can be a president for all Americans.

Again - I know I'm being delusional here - but stranger things have happened lately.
