“Trump isn’t doing this for himself, he’s doing it for the country.”

Sorry to disagree. Ask yourself this question.
If there was no media, no lime light, no publicity, no money to be made, or power to be had, but it still took gobs of money, energy and time to win the presidency - would narcissist Trump be in this race?

If the country was circling the drain like it is now, yes, Trump would be in the race. Because he knows he can fix it and he loves this country.

You'd say "No", but then, that says more about you, doesn't it?

Um.

So you’re saying that if the Presidential race wasn’t for US President then Trump wouldn’t be running.

As someone about Trump’s age, I find it easy to believe his explanation as to why he’s running.

I’ve agonized over the America we are leaving for my own children and grandchildren to live in and raise their families in. Most Freepers here probably feel the same way.

America hardly resembles the one I grew up in. It’s but a shadow of its former self, with freedoms, successes, with respect from our friends, and fear of us by our enemies, all but non-existent.

Trump said he was running so that his family wouldn’t look at him, knowing he could have fixed it, but didn’t.

His own story of building the Trump Organization shows that he knows how to build great empires. Now he wants to make all of America great again.

I think we are but the lucky side beneficiaries.

I think he would be. The man has kids and grandkids. You can tell he loves this county.

I have, and after reading and watching the man, the answer is yes.

And why should that be so hard to understand? He more than most has enjoyed the freedom this nation offers to create a life beyond anyone’s expectations. He’s got all the money he and his family will ever need - he’s already a celebrity and enjoys power and fame. Who doesn’t turn their thoughts to leaving the place that they love a better place for future generations?

Sorry to disagree. Ask yourself this question.

If there was no media, no lime light, no publicity, no money to be made, or power to be had, but it still took gobs of money, energy and time to win the presidency - would any candidate be in this race?
