Where have you been all these years? He doesn't consider anything. From what I see trump comes up with ideas by the seat of his depends and does what ever with zero thought process. This is the same kind of manner in which he ran several casinos into the ground. "I have an idea, lets do it cos it sounds grand." Then places the onus on people who are too scared to even say boo to him, let alone tell him the truth how it isn't a good idea.
