Scarborough: Trump didn't think he would win, campaign was 'money-making scam'

[Grammy23]

11. I don't know what brought Joe to this epiphany about the real reason

tRump ran for the Presidency, but he is a bit late to that realization. Many others suspected as much and no one was more surprised than Donald J. tRump himself. It was always about the money, name recognition and building his brand. I think one thing that happened along the way was the adulation and ass licking really appealed to tRump. It boosted his already inflated ego to astronomical proportions. He got a taste of fame on steroids and he liked it. He discovered thst the more outrageous his claims and hateful his statements, the more his fame grew. He had a distorted view of reality because he saw his rallies representing the majority of Americans and he started believing his own hype. With the help of the Russians, and assorted other kinds of cheating, he managed to pull off the win.

So like the dog that finally catches the wheel of the car he is chasing, tRump took hold of the job of being President. Now what? It explains perfectly why we are in the current mess. He no more intended to be President than he did of flying to the moon, but now that he has the job, he stumbles from one bad idea to another. His narcissism drives everything. He is likely more than a little miserable, especially as he contemplates what Mueller has in store for him. This would make for a crazy, popular mini-series if it was not happening in real life. Our country, our whole way of life hangs in the balance. Wish we could fast forward to the end to find out he is tried and convicted for his crimes so we can get about undoing the harm he has brought upon us.
