6. I don't think he wanted to be President to begin with, honestly.

I maintain that he ran merely to raise his own profile and parlay it into a TV show, book deal, political news network, etc. It was a marketing stunt from the word go. Then he "won" and said, "Oh shit." It's plain that he was never interested in actually being President, and he hated the actual work involved and ducked it at every opportunity. And Melania clearly had no desire whatsoever to have anything to do with being First Lady.

I agree that he wants to get back in the Oval Office to remove the stench of defeat, though. In Trumpworld, the worst thing you can be is a loser. No doubt he's also keen to take revenge on... well, damn near everyone. The list of people he doesn't want revenge on is probably shorter.
