18. Running for President is what rich, bored people do.

Sep 2015

Just look at Romney or Jeb. No fire, no vision. They are running for President because they want it as a collector's item.

I guess, it also factors that Trump realized that Congress and Supreme Court won't automatically dance to his tune. What's the point of being the boss if you can't boss others around?

"And to make it worse: My word is not good enough for those fuckers! They demand real numbers and plans!!! And we will concentrate those 11 million people in camps in a humane way!!!!! And don't you dare to doubt me that I will pull the greatest all-nighter of all times and be ready just in time for my first day in office!!!!!!!"
