Why would Trump want to be President? I’ve pondered that one myself. It’s that one last mountain to climb to cap off his public life, maybe he actually does care about what’s happening to this country and thinks he can help turn it around?
Why would a man like Trump want to build up such a following only to screw them over and ruin public perception of him? For some other politician? Hillary? He’s said she belongs in prison. Sanders? He’s a businessman. What good would full-blown socialism do for his business interests, his children, grandchildren?
Running to win because he thinks he’s uniquely positioned to help turn the country around makes the most sense.
