... and keep his cash flow going.
He is playing the Republicans like a fiddle. Every time they look like they might be ready to desert him, he snaps his whip and they get back in line. He threatens and calls names and they are back on the bandwagon.
He loved being called President. It massaged his ego unlike anything in his lifetime. But, even when he was President, his goals were personal and financial. He cared very little for his country or what happened to it. He was only concerned about himself.
Today, he keeps his cult waiting and hoping that he will be president again. It keeps his enemies at bay and his supporters optimistic.
But, in my opinion, that is not his primary goal. He wants to stay out of prison. He wants to be such an important political figure that no one dare to indict him. He is playing his game, but sooner or later, everything will have to be adjudicated.

Me.
(35,454 posts)but I think he became addicted to being the most powerful person on planet. Having everyone do what he wanted when he wanted, being as mean and viscous as he wanted and no one could stop him.

(44,986 posts)Staying out of jail, feeding his ego and belly, stuffing his bank accounts, grabbing pussy and exacting revenge... that's Trump. And he's so small.

(15,220 posts)He ran to show Obama. It all started with Obama daring to mock the orange asshole at the White House Correspondents dinner. Everything Trump did after that was about paying Obama back for that insult. It was a child having a tantrum and we all were forced to go along for the ride.
Trump did realize that he liked the power that the Presidency afforded and he wants more.
