My hope is with his appointments, he will be surrounded by people who can make him understand that being truthful is important.

He is 70 years old and thus I suspect little change. He still has a need to be patted on the back, and I really question this supposed "thank you tour" he is talking about. It is lined with security risks and I think the countries business should take precedence.

But, I agree...he is not anywhere near to being a nice man or even acceptable on morals or character.

We will see how this translates.
