I'm confused. Is it:
1) Trump really has no interest in winning the election, and was just there to clear the road for Hillary before returning to his hedonistic, selfish ways, or;
2) Trump is the next Hitler, driven to acquire absolute personal control over the entire country, and to stamp out all opposition.
Because there are people here making both arguments against the guy, and they are polar opposites.
I do not know the answer.
It is Trump, after all, and that makes it awfully difficult to get a clear read.
It appears to me that he doesn't really want the job, is all I am trying to say.
Why?
Either he wants Hillary to have it or he doesn't want the responsibility, and, frankly, the limitations it would impose.
There is a third possibility, that he wants this, but only on his own terms, which,
may (but not certainly), lead us into your 2nd statement. That is also an unknown.
Again, this is Trump we are talking about, and his inconsistencies make it difficult to know what this is actually all about, at the end of the day.
