By the fruit they pick, you shall know who they are.

Is it possible to judge a person you do not know by the friends they  have met and worked with over their lifetime?  If so, Donald Trump is a revelation. 

The friends who have stood by him over his lifetime, and more recently are amazing.  They include such luminaries as Paul Manafort, Carter Page, Steve Bannon, George Papadopoulos (30 years old!), Anthony Scaramucci, Michael Flynn, Roger Stone, Stephan Miller, Sebastian Gorka, Harold Bornstein, Rudolph Giuliani, Gary Cohn, David Pecker, Sean Spicer, Jared Kushner, Hope Hicks, Kellyanne Conway, Trump's initial choice of cabinet people such as Tom Price, Brenda Fitzgerald, Rex Tillerson, Andrew McCabe, HR McMaster, Scott Pruitt, and aides such as Manigault Omarosa, Hope Hicks (29 years old) and there are a large number of others such as James Comey and Walter Shaub (who was in charge of "Ethics").

Really,  his choice of Bannon says it all. But in retrospect, Bannnon seems  kind of mature. Especially when compared with Papadopoulos and Omarosa.  And then, there is  Bornstein who was Trump's doctor for nearly 37 years!  Wow!
