So when Trump says "best people" I think...

he really means "most indictable."
or "best guilty pleaders"
or "catch-able"
or "flippers"
but I don't think he really means "best people"

The people most likely to help me get away with the unethical and likely illegal activities. Trump only thinks that the people who are completely loyal to him and his schemes are "the best". He doesn't care about any qualities except deviousness and blind loyalty.

The real test of this idea will be when his kids start being threatened and possibly flip on him. "Yeah, I mean Ivanka's my daughter, and I would bang her an all, but I don't really know her or associate with her. She's a nobody to me."
