Would President Trump's Character have Allowed Him to Collude?

  There are signs enough that if the Russian could help, Trump would have welcomed their help.
  Shout me down, saying, "You cannot prove that! What a vile thing to say! What an unfounded accusation! Have you no common decency!? Innocent until proven guilty!"
  But, with the conduct of our president before and after taking office, I suggest it is a valid concern. If Trump could have benefited -- from what we know about his character -- he would have welcomed that help.
  This, alone, should make us wonder. No conspiracy? No collusion? I suggest we begin by asking if we have a president who would have been capable of conspiracy and collusion. Was it something that might be natural for him to accept? Would the confines of his character allow it? Do we see any signs in his firings and hirings now to suggest he might have an inclination to take such help?
  What does his character tell us? Does his character leave him open to the possibility of colluding and conspiring?
   When you study crime, you often start with motive. I think it not wrong to study whether the president could be motivated to collude and conspire in order to further his chance of being elected.
   And, if we did find that, I would not find it a shocking revelation, at all.

Was it something that might be have been natural to him? Would it be outside his nature -- or within it? Would the confines of his character allow such a thing? Do we see any signs in his firings and hirings now to suggest he might have an inclination to take such measures?
