I think it's the fact that he is a brilliant surgeon that some of his statements and views are so shocking. The lesson is that surgeons are people with personal beliefs and political views just like everyone else. He looks so kind but says things about guns, Jews, science and world history/events that are just bizarre. Quite a different kind of candidate who is a book seller and some say pathological, or at the least delusional. I find him quite interesting. But please dear Lord, protect us from the bizarre. Maybe I like Trump after all.
