I don’t think he’s serious about being POTUS - he couldn’t afford the financial hit ;o)
But he’ll provide an invaluable ‘How it is!” voice on the stump as he has no constraints like measuring his words to avoid political/media attack. And, particularly in business/economics and world wide business contacts - he’s an expert. And he ‘nuances’ nothing. He speaks people’s English. People will listen to him.
He knows that, in a Socialist regime - which we are on the brink of becoming - he, and other business magnates, will fall.
So is his prime objective to preserve his empire? May be. But if he saves HIS empire - he saves businesses/free market across the board. that goes a long ways toward saving America.
Kind of a John Galt scenario? A free people do not work ‘for the good of society’ but pursue and use their INDVIDUAL talents for their own sake. They create best when left free to build their dreams, unfettered by interference and controls from people and gov’t who couldn’t ‘create’ an escape from a paper bag.
Society then benefits from their creations as an offshoot.
Hindsight tells us that Socialism is suicide! Too many of those who “serve” (themselves)(in Washington consider themselves above the American people. But no matter how they have dumbed down the population, Americans are still smarter than they are!
What we need is to cancel vote by mail, return to casting our ballots at our precinct locations (well manned by poll watchers), and count those ballots by hand rather than by manipulative computers! Until this happens, we can expect the anti-Constitution far left to stay in control.
I would like to hear Mr. Trump declare the above. If he can save his business, he will also save yours.
