He most likely wanted to be president primarily for two reasons.

1. I heard he is involved in 2000 law suits. No doubt he would really like to place himself above the law.

2. Make money from his position, including "benefits" from Putin. No doubt there is some sort of extortion, blackmail, and quid pro quo administered by Putin (or his cabal of oligarchs).

Or maybe Trump is just an old fashioned mobster who has had good fixers so far.

As you say, he ain't seen nothin' yet.
