Hardly. They all have personal skin in the game here... financially or otherwise. Putting yourself out there in the political process isn't a differentiator. And by the way... Trump brags about how little he's had to spend to get the support he's gotten. I commend him for it but it's hardly putting his family's financial future in jeopardy.
Frankly, while it would be a feather in his hat to become president he is putting his money where his mouth is, not someone elseâ€s and he is not beholding to anyone.
True... but he's hardly a political outsider when he is one of the ones the establishment has been beholden to.
Consider something... why would a guy like Bloomberg want to be major of NY? Power. He already has wealth and prestige... the political position is power. In my opinion, Donald Trump is much the same. He is saying what many of us want to hear but in the end it could just be a billionaire's game.
The man has a 10 Billion franchise in play here (note some countries are already ostracizing his businesses). That plus his reputation. I would consider that quite a lot. This far exceeds what he could lose where he to spend a few tens of personal millions. That is what I was pointing to, not his political spending.
If you think Bloomberg and Trump are in it for the same reasons, I suspect you are wrong.
