from the new book. "The Moron never wanted to be president". DUH! We all knew that. I did anyway and I am not a rocket scientist. It was a publicity stunt to make him more rich (his brand) and an ego trip. We all saw the look on his face when he won. Shock, disbelief, "Oh Shit", etc. He knew it would be far too much work for him and he didn't want the responsibility. Even my dog could see this.
OK DUers, were any of you ever taking him SERIOUSLY?

(43,049 posts)All his life everything he's ever done was publicize himself and his "brand". Once in a while something worked, like the Central Park skating rink, and he rode it forever but usually it was something embarrassing, like yet another business failure.
He didn't care-- anything to get your name in the papers.
New York "society" and the "real" real estate people in the city never took him seriously, and he wanted their acceptance. He wanted to be invited to the right parties and to get the respect he thought he deserved.
Now he's in a position to get it, and he has no idea what to do about it.
