Didn't we all know that he didn't even want to be President ?
Marcus Marcus Marcus.....So Trump did not want to be President, yet he ran for the Presidency, spent a ton of money running for the Presidency, devoted most part of 2016 running for the Presidency, and when he won he took the oath of being the President. But he didn't want to be President.
Leak from the Book! Big Turd's first day in White House:
although fake, it's very close to reality as Trump and the gorilla share many things in common.

That is awesome. Unlike Obama, who shared a lot with a pussy cat.

Well, don't we already have a similar loony theory floating on this site? The one which says that ACA was a Republican-written legislation which Democrats didn't want to pass, but somehow ended up passing without a single Republican congressmen joining them. But they didn't want it.
And yeah, Republican Donors paid FusionGPS earlier for oppo research on Trump, but not for the Dodgy Dossier. That came months after the Republican Donors gave up when Jeb exited the race (Please clap).

Anyone who saw his acceptance speech knew immediately he was completely beside himself and scared to death.
The plan was to leverage the campaign for other opportunities. That was obvious.
False. The Dossier was initially funded by the Republicans. That is an established fact.
anon_08dee saysBy the way, the Gorilla think is a fake excerpt, just in case anyone was wondering.
Gosh! I will have to call my church and have it taken out of the Sunday banns. It totally fooled me!

You go to Church?
Go to church?
I'm the archbishop of a large diocese, you cunt!
so he worked with Vladimir Putin to hack the National election so he could be President.
in Trumpian fashion, are baldly untrue. These conflicts, and that looseness with the truth, if not with reality itself, are an elemental thread of the book.
As the campaign came to an end, Trump himself was sanguine. His ultimate goal, after all, had never been to win. “I can be the most famous man in the world,” he had told his aide Sam Nunberg at the outset of the race. His longtime friend Roger Ailes, the former head of Fox News, liked to say that if you want a career in television, first run for president. Now Trump, encouraged by Ailes, was floating rumors about a Trump network. It was a great future. He would come out of this campaign, Trump assured Ailes, with a far more powerful brand and untold opportunities.
“This is bigger than I ever dreamed of,” he told Ailes a week before the election. “I don’t think about losing, because it isn’t losing. We’ve totally won.”
Most presidential candidates spend their entire careers, if not their lives from adolescence, preparing for the role. They rise up the ladder of elected offices, perfect a public face, and prepare themselves to win and to govern. The Trump calculation, quite a conscious one, was different. The candidate and his top lieutenants believed they could get all the benefits of almost becoming president without having to change their behavior or their worldview one whit. Almost everybody on the Trump team, in fact, came with the kind of messy conflicts bound to bite a president once he was in office. Michael Flynn, the retired general who served as Trump’s opening act at campaign rallies, had been told by his friends that it had not been a good idea to take $45,000 from the Russians for a speech. “Well, it would only be a problem if we won,” Flynn assured them.
Not only did Trump disregard the potential conflicts of his own business deals and real-estate holdings, he audaciously refused to release his tax returns. Why should he? Once he lost, Trump would be both insanely famous and a martyr to Crooked Hillary. His daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared would be international celebrities. Steve Bannon would become the de facto head of the tea-party movement. Kellyanne Conway would be a cable-news star. Melania Trump, who had been assured by her husband that he wouldn’t become president, could return to inconspicuously lunching. Losing would work out for everybody. Losing was winning.
Shortly after 8 p.m. on Election Night, when the unexpected trend — Trump might actually win — seemed confirmed, Don Jr. told a friend that his father, or DJT, as he calls him, looked as if he had seen a ghost. Melania was in tears — and not of joy.
