In reply to the discussion: Trump says he'll leave White House peacefully if Biden wins [View all]Jedi Guy
(3,501 posts)I think he hates being President, honestly. Oh sure, he likes the pomp and circumstance. He likes the "Hail to the Chief" schtick. He likes the bells and whistles. But he hates the actual job of being President. Witness how little work he actually does. He watches Fox News and golfs, apart from occasionally holding a rally.
As others have said, I don't think he wanted or expected to win. He just wanted to raise his public profile for whatever dunderheaded venture he had in mind, and then found out he was going to have to follow through. If he loses to Biden, I think he'll secretly be relieved that the nightmare is over and he can go back to being a reality TV jackwagon. I bet the ink on his Fox News contract has long since dried.
That said, he'll still hem and haw and whine and kvetch if he loses, because that's just who he is and what he does. But when the time comes, I think he'll leave the White House without too much fuss.
His rabid supporters, on the other hand... of them I'm much less certain.
