Trump Explains What Would Get Him Out of the Presidential Race

“I’m not a masochist,” Trump said in an interview with CNBC’s John Harwood. “Right now, I’m leading every poll, in most cases big. . . If that changed, if I was like some of these people at 1 percent or 2 percent, there’s no reason to move forward . . . If I tank, sure, I go back to business. Why wouldn’t I?”

For now, Trump sees nothing but blue skies. He continues to draw large crowds with his bombastic, anti-immigrant rhetoric and promises to renew America’s greatness. Campaign funding is no problem for the deep-pocketed real estate magnate who travels in his own corporate jet. And he consistently leads in all the national and battleground state polls.

The low polling 1 - 2%’er splitters should take Trump’s advice, on what to do if you’re polling low....and scram.

Eric Pianin , like 90% of media people, is a liberal wearing pink glasses.

I think some of them enjoy the ride until the money dries up and they have to lay off their high paid campaign crony staff and shut down the gravy expense accounts.

He’s taking a shot at the Pubbie candidates who are polling at 1 and 2% and aren’t quitting.

So long as money is trickling in their campaign account, they will not quit. It is money to be used for travel, clothes etc. Just like Hillary using the money donated to Clinton Foundation.

Also staying in the lime light, could mean a book offer, or a high level job in the new admin.

Trump has no such desires, so he is different than other career politicians.

bombast

: speech or writing that is meant to sound important or impressive but is not sincere or meaningful

I think Trump is sincere about immigration, don’t we all?

It is discussed at the following link that Warren Buffett, a man Trump has spoken very highly of, has given millions of dollars to procure abortions for poor women through Planned Parenthood. I wonder if Trump knows about this.

Any candidate who is willing to take a pay cut from $400 million current income down to $0.4 Million (president’s salary) is very sincere with non-selfish motives.

And higher speaking and consulting fees.

Did Trump speak highly of Buffett for his business skills or Trump speak highly of Buffet due to his abortion views?

Context matters, don’t you think?

Also keep in mind, until 3.5 months ago, Trump was a businessman, not a party hack politician. He acted what was best for his business, his employees, and his family, and not necessarily the GOP elites.

He also said he would not take the presidents salary, would do the job for free.
