9. I Wondered The Same Thing--EXCEPT...........

..........why would he be VOLUNTEERING to go to prison? Because that's what will happen as soon as he's out of office. Everyone talks about how his ego won't allow him to accept losing, and that's true, but I think that is just a very small sliver of why he hasn't just resigned. The other one is that he doesn't want to go to prison. He clearly never wanted the job in the first place, and doesn't enjoy the actual work of it, but he knows the second he leaves, authorities from New York will be right there waiting for him with handcuffs.

So, yeah, you DO look at all the stupid, incompetent stuff he's been doing and simply MUST ask yourself, "Is he TRYING to lose?" But the fact of the matter is the answer is no, he's really just THAT dumb and incompetent. Because ego or not, why would he WANT to volunteer to go to prison?
