With his lack of political experience and ever-changing platform, it’s hard to know what Trump himself really thinks - which is why it matters even more who is advising him, as they may have an outsized role in dictating policy. This is particularly true when it comes to Trump, a man who has not only never held elected office, but whose policy positions seem to change at the drop of a hat. Knowing who those people are, and how they have historically operated in the political world, is crucial to understanding what kind of sprawling, consequential decisions will be made from the White House. They will be choosing between a whole slew of people who will advise the two candidates.
