Would Trump put his own personal interests ahead of the country's interests? If anyone doesn't know the answer to that, it's useless trying to persuade them. In truth, if Trump could gain a quarter by costing the U.S. a billion, he would jump at it. Trump will sell us out to our enemies in a blink of an eye.
