Trump had a pretty good little gig going. He was a minor celebrity. Not really important, but he could get attention when he wanted to. He wasn't really accepted by high society, but he could hang around with the B list people, and occasionally make it to places like the Correspondents Dinner. He had some money and assets but was likely living the "credit card life" paying off debt with debt and hustling to keep the family in fur and bobbles.

Then he had aspirations on being president. A vanity project. Revenge. There were people out there (Putin and the Oligarchs) who saw the opportunity to use an idiot to try to damage the US. Trump, never really having been held accountable, was not used to the intense scrutiny that Presidents go through. He didn't realize that he actually had to work.
