For Trump, the Presidency is about business opportunity.

Business is all he knows. Making money is the most important aspect of his life.

Russia is a potential business deal for Donald Trump, not an enemy of the United States.

He sees a huge personal profit in the oil fields of Northern Russia. Rex Tillerson works for him, not the country.

Donald Trump is loyal to Vladimir Putin because Putin has the power to stop him from getting loans thru Russian bankers, via the Deutsche Bank in Cyprus.

Donald Trump has already used his position to get China to approve his building license in China. He used Taiwan and the one-China threat as leverage.

The White House is a position from which he can enrich himself even further and that is most important to him.

He's a narcissist. It's very much about nurturing that. Feeding his insatiable need to be reassured that he still thinks he's great and therefore, everyone else must.

He's not a well man.

you will not see it in his children. Look close enough, they're all on the same page to puff up the Trump brand and they do not care how they win nor who they affiliate with to get what they want. USERS Incorporated.
