But his opinion is not important. I think everyone pretty much has the same opinion on it any way. Everyone thinks the meeting was a bad idea. Trump Jr used extremely poor judgement.

I think the things that Bannon says have to be taken with somewhat of a grain of salt, since he is very angry at Trump for being fired. Don't get me wrong. I believe alot of what he says. I believe that most of the people working at the White House such as Priebus and many of the others thought that Trump was a nut, as Bannon said in the book. Apparently Tiller thinks Trump is an idiot. When you have that many people saying the same thing, there has to be some truth to it. I personally think Trump is a buffoon. I always knew he was a little nutty, but it turns out he is much worse than I was expecting. I knew he was somewhat volatile, immature, and undisciplined, but he is far worse than I was expecting. Despite that, I would still rather have him as President than Obama or Hillary.

Based on Trump's personality and disposition, I don't think he is particularly fit to be President. Despite that I still think we are way better off with him than Obama or Hillary. I certainly don't like someone in the White House who is a little bit crazy. But I'd rather have someone a little crazy than someone with terrible policies.

Going back to the original story, both the Trump campaign and the Hillary campaign were trying to dig up dirt on each other. I don't think either side cared who they got the dirt from, as long as they could find some dirt. Hillary's team did the same thing as Trump's team. They actually paid foreign enitities to come up with that phony dossier on Trump. Both sides did the same thing. It's wrong in both cases. But when you really think about it, what Hillary's team did was worse. They paid a foreign entity to dig up dirt. It's not as if Trump's team hired anyone. They simply said, "If you already have some dirt, we would love to see it." That is not nearly as bad as hiring a foreign entity to produce a phony dossier.
