You’re right Trump is not a Liberal, he is to you what ever you see in the mirror. He is the Obama of the republican party without the ideology. He stands for nothing, believes nothing, worships nothing but his own image in a mirror, “mirror mirror on the wall who’s the wining est winner of them all.”

Trump doesn’t need to win the Presidency to show himself, his family, his friends and associates or the world in general that he is an incredibly smart and successful guy. He doesn’t need to be POTUS to ensure that he, his kids and grandkids, or several generations of Trumps will be very wealthy. He’s made his bones in this area. Frankly, while any particular endeavor might be challenging or exciting, the whole process has probably gotten boring for him - he’s like Alexander, wondering what new worlds there are to conquer.
Well, here’s your answer:
Trump is smart enough to see that this country is very close to having the wheels come off, and that another term or 2 for the Dems will ensure that the country is tossed on the ashheap of history. He also knows his family background - his grandfather came here in the late 1800s and made some decent money, and his father made a fortune, which he multiplied by many times. What motivates Trump, IMHO, is 2 things: First, making sure that his family has a similar legal, economic, social and regulatory environment in which to continue to make money and, second, to be not only President, but among the best ever - the man who saved the country. THAT would stroke his ego like no amount of money possibly could - and we’d benefit mightily from it. Why? Because in order for his family to continue to make money for several generations, they need a large and highly prosperous middle class, they need a government that is kept within certain limits, a culture that will continue to elect reasonably sensible officials who won’t deviate much from the basically center-right path that led to his fortune. That middle class is US - you, me, the rest of the FReepers, everyone we know and their kids and grandkids.
Like the guy or not (and, to be honest, he’s easy to NOT like), I think that if you really examine his motivations you will see that this country will be in good hands for the 4 or 8 years of a Trump Presidency. He will move us in the right direction, and do so quickly because that is how he does things in his own business right now.
