2. i know. even though he talks about 8 years and all that, he only was running to cash out.

i really don't think he expected or even wanted to actually win. i think he wanted just to increase his brand within the right-wing world (the only world that matters to him) and then make a mint off his own name.

i don't think he enjoys being president, so many people complaining about everything and making it hard for him to grift.

why wouldn't he just declare victory and leave after one term and then start charging hundreds of thousands per speech and millions to use his name on all sorts of products and otherwise raking it in?
