I don't know if you're equating Trump to a ponzi artist, or if you're merely using that as an analogy to describe the way you feel about his candidacy.
If it's the former, I disagree, for the simple fact that Donald Trump has lived (and earned) a life of success far beyond the measure of most humans' wildest dreams. He has no need to snooker anyone for any reason, in that area.
He's conquered goals and vanquished foes of all types throughout his career, and has little to prove to himself or anyone else, at this point. He's the proverbial 'king of the mountain', so what's motivating him to run for the presidency?
There's actually no logical answer to that question, except that he honestly wants to parlay his power, influence, business management skills, force of personality, and dogged determination as a man, to help correct the disastrous course this country is on.
There can be no other reason, because he has no other mountains to climb in this life. The presidency isn't a step up for him, a feather in his cap, or yet another trophy on his mantle. It's commitment of terrible proportions - an invitation to take on something few honest men would relish. It's a willing step into the jaws of hell - that is, if you're actually intent on doing the sort of job he's talking about.
If your intent is to simply play president like most who've held the office, then it's a step into riches and boundless lifelong perks, which is what most of his competitors would do, if elected.
What would Donald Trump gain by functioning like that, as president? Tell me how playing ball with the DC cartel would gain him anything he doesn't already have in life? Things that he built or achieved with his own hands, on his own terms, without having to suck up to, or play ball with decrepit oligarchs?
Not a damn thing, which leaves only one reason he wants your vote. It's to enable him to roll up his sleeves and do the job Americans have been pleading with their leaders to do for decades now.

That’s all Hitler wanted to do for Germany.
Thanks for honoring me with the re-post, C!
