During the presidential campaign last year, it seemed at times that Donald Trump was as surprised as the governing and chattering classes when he surged to the lead in the Republican primaries and secured the nomination. During and after the convention, it also appeared to some that Trump was not intent on winning the election, given some of his actions and comments and the disarray of his election team, until Kellyanne Conway took over. This even led to speculation by some that Trump was an agent of the Clintons, convinced to run in a devious plot hatched by Bill to destroy the Republican Party and throw the election to Hillary.
Obviously, if there was such a plot, it failed hilariously and spectacularly, and only a conspiracy nut or a fool would hold to it today. But there may be a kernel of truth behind the idea that Trump did not really want or expect the presidency, as opposed to launching another fun (for him), ego-stoking, and publicity-garnering, if quixotic, executive run. Correspondingly, he might now regret the decision.
Compared with most other candidates, or anybody else, for that matter, Trump had little to gain by becoming president. He was already extremely famous, wealthy, and powerful. In terms of day-to-day comfort and luxury, the White House was a come-down, and let's not even discuss Camp David. Trump's preference for his Florida estate as opposed to the venerable presidential retreat is understandable, considering his circumstances.

This is a defining feature of the Trump administration: While scandal and squabble, palace intrigue and provocative tweets suck much of the oxygen out of the room; and leave the impression of mass government disfunction; a wide array of fundamentally Trump-minded reform is taking place.

Keiler, what kind of idiot are you????
Why even post tripe like this story????
Trump is a true patriot & the best President we have had for many years.....one measure of a man is the nature of his enemies.....the global socialist who have conspired for years to subvert our sovereign Constitutional republic into a global oligarchy, hate his guts.... Trump is as great as the patriot, George Washington. We love him.
The only Trump would be regretful of is speaking candidly to Comey while Comey was taking notes to catch him doing a mistake in a fake trap probe meant to catch him.
Another fart from the American Stinker
Had to look twice at this and hit the link. Reading this, I thought it was from “The Onion” or maybe “MAD Magazine”!
Government people rarely see a true leader such as Trump. He is a million times the man this writer is, and he can tweet, dance, curse, I don’t care.. as long as he turns this Country around. So far, he is the greatest President I have seen in my lifetime.
Trump absolutely did the right thing firing Obama’s key leaker, the Director of the FBI....
I can’t remember the last time a president used Camp David.
“Another fart from the American Stinker”
This is beyound flatus.
This so called writer placed a bowel movement on a sidewalk and called it an Oped, work of art!
ROFL!!! Best post of the day!!!
They always went to their ranch in Crawford after Christmas.
LOL! Love your post!
James Leaky-Leaky Comey, he’s so Charmin.
A thousand sheets to the wind.
He sure is and yes we do.
“So far, he is the greatest President I have seen in my lifetime.”
Mine too.....Reagan presented a great image, but pretty much let Bush & the establishment run the show behind the scenes.....Trump is GENUINE Tea Party.
You have the same choice.
Thanks for your reply. I’m borrowing this as my new tagline to celebrate the Comey Comedy that keeps us laughing.
Leaky-Leaky Comey, he’s so Charmin.
A thousand sheets to the wind.
Be my guest darling.
Wish Leaky-Leaky’s middle name was Peter or Paul.
Then we could call him J Leaky-Leaky P Comey.
Carry on...thanks for the smiles.
