You mean Trump us running because of Hillary? But he is tight with her. I’m sure it would help him to have an in with the president.
Trump is running because of the reverse direction this country has been taking under Obama and the mess Hillary made in the world as Sec of State.
His relationship with many are business. He’s building buildings and if you get leftists on the planning commission, how many buildings will get blocked from being built (and how many are going to get refused and stalled) after this Trump run.
You are not allowed to be anything but a liberal democrat and be allowed to operate in some cities.
So Trump felt bad enough about what was going on to risk his own income, give him credit for that.
Why should he want to have an in with the president when he can be the president himself? He wants the number one spot.
