That is the perfect contract to Mr. Trump! One where only one side signs on the dotted line. Trump is asking the voters to sign a contract on election day by voting him into office. Note he isn’t signing anything. To the extent that he has comprehensible position papers they will be just politics after election day. On Nov 9 everything he does from then on will be up for negotiation/sale. He has no concept of word of honor-he is a businessman. I hate to disparage business people, many are great folks, but everyone has heard the phrase “It’s a business decision”, right or wrong isn’t allowed to intrude. That is how Trump has been raised and how he learned to live.
