Trump doesn't want to be president.

Perhaps i'm just mixing you up with another poster with a similar photo. If so my mistake
I went through my posts and couldn't find where I had. I actually voted about two weeks early I think by absentee ballot. I almost got convinced I had voted for the looser this time but I guess I picked the winner even though the odds were supposedly against me.

Is Trump going to last? The people don't want him to be president. If he stays, he's not going to be able to do much with him being so strongly apposed by the people. Trump doesn't want to be president. You could see it as he watched the results, as he gave a clearly unscripted acceptance speech, as he met Barack for the first time after the election. You can feel it in his desire to want to maintain his primary residence in NY, as if the White House is just some side venture he can check in on when not managing his main properties - this man has no idea what he has gotten into. He entered this race for notoriety and an attempt to boost his own public profile. *Actually* being President does nothing for him. The more I think about it the more I could see him choosing not to run in 2020 if he thinks thinks aren't going his way.
Remember, this man lives in palatial mansions. The white house is a work building and the presidency is very stressful. He never thought he was going to win. He told Kasich that if he was his VP that he could handle all governing, he's just appear when he needed on TV. If he offered that deal to Kasich, I bet he said the same thing to Pence. He's already filling the white house up with lobbyists. He's not draining the swamp, he's filling it up. He knows he won't be able to implement his campaign promises. I wonder how long he'll be able to put up the act. He also said he wants to do rallies while he's president. In other words, he enjoys running for president not being president.
The part that worries me the most is that he himself said he doesn't like to read, he likes to go with his gut. We saw in the election what his gut feeling is like. His ideas are often way out there. I hope he doesn't get us into a war.
The people don't want him to be president. Reps are scared at what his win will mean in the future. Now that his supporters are seeing its clearly obvious he was running on lies that he will never implement - do they still want him? He doesn't want to be president. What's next?
What's next? He loves his lifestyle. He can't keep that while being president. The truck loads of death threats must make him regret this more than anything else. That means he'll need to be highly protected forever. Ivanka won't be able to roam around NY like she used to. All their lives are going to dramatically change. They are billionaires. They wont' want that. The secret service doesn't let the family roam around. I wonder what's going to happen? I can't picture him actually doing the job. I don't think he can keep up the act. Could he insinuate to the electoral college that they can "vote their conscience" on Dec 19? Then in secret tell them to give Hillary the presidency? We know that before this he actually said nice things about Hillary. He doesn't really hate her, he just wanted to win. He's go down in history as having won, that will be enough to make him happy. Also, Hillary being president would make him look like the good guy again. As out there as this sounds, EVERYTHING this year has been bizarre. She won the popular vote and in the past he tweeted that he didn't like the electoral college.
Whatever happens. I don't think he'll be able to last 4 years in the white house. He does not want to even be in the building.
Business wise, all that hate and all the protests are going to make his brand toxic. Letting the electoral college pick Hillary would restore his brand.
Lastly, he's 70. If he's president he'll spend his final years in the white house. By the time its over he'll be 78. 84 is the average lifespan of a male in the US. After accumulation billions, would he want to spend his final years doing something he doesn't want to do?
He won but people don't want him as president hmmmmm real circular logic there. And then say by the time he finishes he'll be 78?? So I'm guessing your either drunk or what little brain cells you had left on a vacation. You contradict yourself in your own op and don't even see it wow.
He enjoyed running for president, not *actually* being president. Be observant, you'll see he never expected to win. He was just having fun running for president.
When I mentioned his age I was referring to him not wanting to spend the final years of his life in the white house. He wants to live in his palatial mansions. He doesn't even want to sleep in the white house.

I'm just curious.....How do you know what Trump wants or desires? Did you personally ask him? There is no way he would have gone through all that BS if he wasn't serious about serving the country.....seriously.

He didn't get elected because people opposed him. He won the election.
Your OP makes zero sense.
This was a very bizarre election. He didn't think he was going to win. Dems thought she was going to win for sure. Then when he won it became real. That's when we saw people's real reactions. The people protested and Trump voters became disillusion. Its now obvious that he loved running for president but doesn't want to actually be president.
The election was very close. She won the popular vote and only 100,000 votes kept her from winning the rust belt states.
