I think he likes the "idea" of being president, but I don't think he would particularly like the actual job.

I believe he is in competition with his own father's legacy. He has surpassed him in business and finance. Like his father he became governor of a state and now he has the opportunity to succeed where his father failed in a run for president. He's going for the wrong job for all the wrong reasons and if he wins, the rest of us will have to pay for his Daddy Issues.
