FTR, my 2 cents is I think one of Trumps main motivators in becoming President was to enrich himself - but I think the power and money is a motivator for most people who run for President.

In Fahrenheit 11/9, Michael Moore claims that Trump ran for president because Gwen Stefani got a bigger contract on The Voice than Trump did on The Apprentice.  The Trump Tower campaign announcement/escalator gag, replete with paid attendees, was a publicity stunt to send a message to the network.  Moore doesn’t offer any evidence for this in the documentary, but he and Trump were represented by the same agent.  

In a sense, Trump did run for President to enrich himself- just not in the way we might have thought.

That's pretty funny, I did not know that. I honestly believe he probably didn't want to win, yet he ended up here due to the flaws of his competitor.  The fact the he is getting as much if not more done than some recent career politicians speaks volumes of what these career politicians in Washington bring to the table.

I don’t understand why you would vote for someone you’re not convinced even wants the job. Doesn’t seem like a good quality when voting on the most powerful job in the world.

More from the campaign 

 

It is a great day for the United States of America, and for the rest of the world.

Under the fierce leadership of our Commander-in-Chief, the radical ISIS leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is dead. Terrorists should never sleep soundly knowing that the U.S. will completely destroy them.

Our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines are the very best, and thanks to their bravery and President Trump’s leadership, WE ARE KEEPING AMERICA SAFE!

Unfortunately, Fake News CNN hates President Trump more than they love our country. They completely disrespected our brave men and women in the military by cutting OFF the President's very important announcement to the Nation.

They can’t stand that President Trump is keeping his promises to put AMERICA FIRST, so they’re trying to SILENCE his message before millions of Americans. RIDICULOUS! But, the President has never cared about what the corrupt media thinks, he only cares what YOU think.

 

President Trump has been working hard to put America First for YOU and your family. Just take a look at some of his recent accomplishments that will Keep America Safe:

Bringing the world’s #1 terrorist leader to justice

Successfully decimating ISIS

Securing our Southern Border by building THE WALL

Working to denuclearize North Korea

Restoring and rebuilding American military strength

Our President has accomplished more for our Nation than any other President in the history of the United States, and now, he wants to know what YOU think about his recent job performance.

We’re giving him ALL RESPONSES by tomorrow morning. Will he see YOURS?

 So you don’t have to guess any more I voted for Bernie.  Disagreed with him on several things but I felt great coming out of the voting booth voting for what I considered to be a man of principle who cares about people.  It was totally symbolic on my part but I’m still happy I did it.  Again, I was not in a battleground state or I probably would have voted differently.

You gotta think the bullpen door opens up and you know who walks out soon, because these current Democrat candidates don’t stand a chance.

You guys can send me 200,384 polls 13 months out to prove me wrong, but you know this thing will tighten up when a nominee is chosen. And there is only one potential Democrat nominee who scares me, and they aren’t in the race yet but they are making more noise every day.
