We know what he believes and we know what he does.People have been asking Trump if he would run for President and his answer has always been, "No, unless things get bad enough". I am paraphrasing but it seems that he really didn't want to be president but sees it as a necessity. As a libertarian I tend to be suspicious of both parties but Trump is on a mission. His life did not get better by becoming President which suggests that he is on a mission.
As of this moment I see Trump appointing people other than the usual technocrats which unusual. Trump may be the right person, at the right place, at the right time. So far, he has done two impossible things by becoming President. There is a good chance that he may go down in history as one of America's greatest Presidents. I could be wrong but only time will tell.
