I have to say I wonder why Seth made the remark in 1 about not believing Trump

(11,285 posts)Trump has exceeded expectations as a "disrupter" (sand in the gears) of the west. But he is far too unfocused and undisciplined to actually follow out any agenda. If you were Putin, would you have any faith in this individual working toward your interests?
