You know, I really do believe that Trump is two people.  I think he felt that people wanted a strong man and he is that.  He's tough and he doesn't mind putting that out there.  (I had a boss that once told me, "if you want to be big, act big").  But I don't think he wants an Authortarian govenment.  I think he will stand up to Congress, I think he will be tough with other countries.  I can't really fault his plans to end our overseas military engagements - those who would criticize him haven't come up with anything that has worked so far.  And as one who has seen a lot of international agreements in my time, they usually don't have any teeth or consequences for breaking the agreement.  Anyone that has dealt with these agreements (and doesn't work for the State Department) will tell you the same thing.  

People that know him personally say he is charming, mannerly and gregarious.  And he donates to a lot of charities, and donates to a lot of political campaigns, because he knows that money talks.  We need someone who lives outside of the Beltway.  People become incredibly insulated in Washington.  They don't mean for it to happen, but it does.  Thats why McConnell and company can refuse to meet with or vote on Obama's nominee for the SC. They are out of touch with the real world. 

I'm not saying I hope that Trump is the nominee (although I'll take him over Ted cruz), but I don't think he is the evil, violence monger that seems to come up in anti Trump articles.
