Would Trump Appoint Liberal or at least Souter type Justice in Exchange for A list performer ?

[JI7]

This is a serious question and whether we could or should do this.

Obama has said that Trump is not ideological . we know his biggest concern is his being seen as popular/famous/sucessful and his personal wealth.

Trump does not really care who gets on the SC . he probably couldn't even name all the current ones if asked.

Could some on our side get arrange something where he appoints a justice we would be ok with if he can get a popular performer ?

1. What a great solution! He will always place his personal vanity above all else.

His vow to pick anti-choice justices was never about principles in the first place.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. That would be asking a popular performer to "take one for the team"

because he or she would become an instant show biz pariah.

[Warpy]

3. No, he has too much of a history of not paying "the little people"

for services received. I wouldn't trust him farther than I can throw a grand piano by one leg.

[Takket]

4. He would never follow through on that deal

[Maru Kitteh]

5. What are Trump promises worth?

And there is the only answer that counts.

[elleng]

6. He might agree

and then NOT follow through.

[herding cats]

7. He'd renege on the deal.

I have no doubt in my mind he'd never hold up his end of such a bargain. He'd claim the performer was subpar and not worth what they'd agreed upon, or some such blather.

16. this. nt

8. Only a fool would take him at his word

the cretin lies

[world wide wally]

9. The previous 6 comments are exactly what I would say as well.

Isn't it great to have a President we can trust?
I'm sure the rest of the world feels the same way.

[Hekate]

10. He would lie and say yes to get what he wants. Then leave you holding the bag.

Just look at past performance.

[vinny9698]

11. This most be the dumbest question ever. Trust Trump? not for a dime.

Trump has made his millions doing just that trusting him.

[Warren DeMontague]

12. That's actually one of the best ideas I've heard in a while.

Not that I think it would work, but it's still not a bad thought.

[mnhtnbb]

13. Never forget Trump CANNOT be trusted: he's a pathological liar

and has a long history of reneging on deals.

Bloomberg warned he was a con man. Said it at the Dem convention.

You don't ever do a "deal" with a person like that and expect them to honor it.

[onenote]

14. Apart from being a silly idea

What makes you think the senate would confirm such a nominee?

[Vinca]

15. I wouldn't trust him if such a deal could be made.

The performer would perform, and - just like house painters, masons and carpenters - he'd renege on his end of the bargain after the work was done.

[kcr]

17. It doesn't sound silly because it's Trump. But it wouldn't work because you can't trust him.

And also there's the issue of confirmation. But it's funny to think about anyway. He's totally the type who would take a deal like that.

[avebury]

18. One thing is abundantly clear - you cannot trust Trump.

Trump has no honor or credibility and is a pathological liar. He would lie through his teeth and then renege on any promise later on.
