Stressing out Americans to increase rating for his cable news reality TV shitshow

That is Trump's primary goal, and not just for his Presidency, but for his entire life.

He is a very pathetically small man, a leader he'll never be.

Seriously. His 33% seems like a paltry number for a President, but DAYEM!, it's a huge built-in market for "Government Apprentice." That's all he cares about. He knows he's not going to make it for four years in The White House, so he's just shoring up his idiot audience base for his next tv show.

Probably go back to television. There was a lot of talk about Trump starting his own cable news channel if he lost in 2016. Even if Trump loses in 2020 he will always have a hardcore group of followers who will follow his career.

don't really think 45 is going to run in 2020. He knows his ratings/polls are not good and he is miserable and never wanted to be prez (even a fake one) to begin with.

Trump might want to avoid the embarrassment of losing in 2020 which is very possible. Trump has a big ego so I can see him not pursuing a second term and claiming "mission accomplished" as opposed to risking an embarrassing defeat.
