What if everything is about revenge?

What if the ONLY reason Trump ran (and got elected) was to get revenge on Obama?

He's completely dismantling Obama's legacy. Not because he thinks it's right for America or the American people, not because he believes in policy, but what if it is completely for enacting revenge on Obama?

Why? Because the man is so self-absorbed, narcissistic, and thin-skinned he can't get over Obama humiliating him (birther thing).

He needs to be Number 1

He knows how popular Obama was and he MUST outdo him. Look how obsessed he still is over Hillary's popular vote totals.

And the GOP are just using him to push their agenda. Trump's ignorance and revenge against Obama are easy tools for Republican control of an extreme right wing fringe and forced policy.

That's his original motivation. Now it is us. He can't stand it that he did not get the popular vote. He can't stand it that his numbers are falling. He can't stand it that we will not kowtow to his magnificence, tugging the forelock as we admit he is master. Well it may drive him to do something really awful but he will never win our hearts and minds.

Unfortunately, you are probably right. Dark days will be ahead if we don't get him out soon.

Another point to remember and I bet Trump(R) does.

He is the only White Billionare to move into public housing abandoned by a Black Family.
