You or Mycroft... are you impressed with Trump's lifetime record of discernment, his ability to read other people and
decide whether to invest in them by associating his name and reputation with theirs, IOW, putting his trust in them?
Just consider Trump's
choices of attorneys, cabinet picks, Flynn, and his recent endorsements of Orban of Hungary and of these G.O.P. candidates.

But wait, that wasn’t the only problematic boast Walker made about his grades.
In his 2008 book about suffering from dissociative identity disorder, Walker says that he grew up as a “fat kid” who stuttered (twin “sins” in his judgment), that his teachers looked through him as if he hadn’t been there and that the older children ridiculed him as “stupid.”.." ...
