Once upon a time I was a very junior officer in the US Navy, and I had a captain (which in the Navy is a very senior officer, equivalent to a full Colonel) who said "surprises are for birthdays, and it's not my birthday."
It's not my birthday, and even if it were, I don't like surprises in my Presidents. Thus, I don't like Trump, because I have no idea what he would do if he became President. I am becoming convinced that he is a bullshit artist of the first order.
My proof for this is that on two occasions, Trump was asked surprise questions. Both times he gave reasonable answers. One, on abortion, was that if abortion was illegal women who get one should be punished. The other was on the more current hot topic of who can use what restrooms, and he answered that people use the one they feel more comfortable in and it's not a problem. Both of these were "wrong" answers (for the political value of "wrong") and he walked them back.
This, plus certain rumors from his supporters about how the wall with Mexico will be more virtual, lead me to believe that he'll say whatever he thinks will be required to become President. Much like the dog who chases the car, he has no real plan as to what to do should he actually win.
