Where, exactly does Trump stand..

...on any given issue?

Hard to say, actually:

President-elect Donald Trump's policy platform continues to evolve and change dramatically as he prepares to be sworn into office, making a complete and detailed understanding of his governing agenda difficult to discern. In the two months since being elected, Trump has taken 15 new policy stances on nine different issues.
Call it the post-platform era: the president-elect ran and won a campaign in which he took 141 distinct policy position on 23 issues over the course of 511 days. Trump defended this as being "flexible" and unpredictable, something he argued the country needs more of to better represent itself on the world stage. His supporters championed him as a refreshing break from politicians with carefully-calculated agendas and voting records to back them up, while his detractors argued this was a sign of wildly unprepared and unserious candidate.

My personal opinion: only two things interest Donald Trump to any degree: (1) acquiring more money, and (2) showing off.

My therapist tells me not to take what Trump says at face value or even what his apologists and advisers tell us what Trump really meant to say. My therapist says we must wait to see what Trump does and does not do. I tell my therapist I can not wrap my little brain around the reality of a President Trump. My therapist tells me to put the focus on myself and not worry about things I can not change. The advice my therapist gives sounds a lot like something available at any number of 12 Step Programs. I can picture an explosion in the number of support groups in every state of the union and every country of the world to cope with the reality of a President Trump. This too shall pass! Meanwhile, we proceed one day at a time.

I paid already.... to the tune of about 25K/year. I owned a tavern, The Palmer Roadhouse, for four years, 1995-99, in Florida... successful If measured by "fun quotient".

Duly noted, your tenure and stature with DP merits compensation. I meant no disrespect... and merely made a noob mistake. I beg your understanding. You and Trump both stand tall! How's that for ass kissing (no snarkiness intended)?
