4. Are these people idiots? I think by simply meeting w/ trump, and who knows what will happen,

that they have destroyed their careers/etc., and will always have a taint about them forever more. Not a good decision.

And more so, with the hair dye Ghoul calling for democrats to have their heads chopped off (a verbal assault by the way, made in public), and trump acting like a petulant big baby, who in the world would now want these two now? I know about trump's base, but I suspect strongly that trump's actions lately hasn't really helped him, if anything, they have made him look really weak and childish.
