No. (My emphasis) > [@](#): > > GOLDMAN SACHS > > **Then** : “I know the guys at Goldman Sachs,” Trump said at a South Carolina rally in February, when he was locked in a fierce primary battle with Texas Sen.

Trump is already on the road to having the most corrupt administration in history. And he just may get away with it. ---

The title is totally misleading: he is in no way morphing into Hillary Clinton–but instead into his false statements of certain aspects of Hillary. What he is clearly turning out to be is a very right wing Republican on most issues–not a moderate Democrat like Hillary. ---

I’m with Thelma Lou on this one. Electing Donald Trump goes way beyond Bush Jr. and other bad presidents. And it will affect people world-wide. I live very, very close to the USA. Too close. I am actually afraid this fake-tanned bloated sack of shit will trigger a nuclear war when he gets insulted. He has no self-control, and he’s thin-skinned as hell. Unqualified is the very kindest thing one could say about him. I actually opened a Twitter account so I could tweet right back at him. He’ll never read it (the orange moron doesn’t read much) but it’s the only way I can express my outrage. I also read every one of Thelma Lou’s threads about him. ---

Some of us have been saying all along that the Orange Pile Of Vomit is a compulsive and chronic liar, that his word has no value, and never will, he lies even when he has no reason to, and he never made a promise or a deal that he didn’t break, given a chance to screw someone over. So why all the surprise??? ---

> [@SteveG1](#): > > So why all the surprise??? I’m with you. Nothing in his behavior since the election has been at odds with his behavior before the election. Any prior statements that don’t serve his purposes today will be ignored as if they never happened. He will govern like a distracted 12 year old. He will say (or tweet) whatever is on his mind without concern over its implications. The only thing that would surprise me is a period of thoughtful governance. ---
