   That's another way of saying that he has no guiding principles, which   
   would explain why he is all over the map about every subject.  There is   
   scant evidence that Trump is a non-interventionist and plenty of   
   evidence that he would be.   
      
   Hand-wave all you want, write endless twisting paragraphs that   
   ultimately say very little if you want.  Reasonable, mature individuals   
   see through the Trump bluster, they aren't impressed by Trump's bullying   
   tactics, nor are they awed by endless repetitions of "Make America   
   Great" (By building a wall and banning muslims, really...)
