Why Is Trump Running For President?

[Ava]

It's a good question in all reality.

Why is he running?

He has been President. He is very wealthy. Got more money than he or his wife will be able to spend in their lifetimes. Kids got sacks full of money too. They don't need it.

So what reason could he have?

He has had the literal stew beat out of him for his first term. Why seek a second?
He has already had 2 assassination attempts and either laughs or gets up and says "fight fight fight".

He has surrounded himself with all kinds of younger smart people....people who could use some career growth. Tulsi Gabbard, Elon Musk, JD Vance, And others.....the list is pretty extensive and and famous. These aren't wall flowers who are scared of being in the limelight....these are microphone grabbers who seek the spotlight. So it isn't for Trump's own fame he is seeking here. Or money....or even prestige.

He has gotten all three already.

So why do it?

And besides....Melania doesn't like the color of the house.

So why do it you ask?

To set the nation back on its founding principles — a course back to freedom. Most of the people in America want the same thing and Trump is the LEADER who can do it. The ONLY man of the people who is standing in the way of a complete takeover of America.

“We are going to have to change our conversation; we’re going to have to change our traditions, our history; we’re going to have to move into a different place as a nation.” — Michelle Obama, May 14, 2008

“We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.” — Barack Obama, October 30, 2008

Here's a better question, how is someone who is manifestly unfit for higher office been nominated by a major political party THREE TIMES for the office, when his first and only term was an unmitigated disaster?

Ask George Sr., Dole, W., McCain and Romney. Add Ross Perot to guarantee Clinton the Presidency twice. The elites must have figured that George Sr. winning in 1992 would e 16 years of Republican Power. In reality we had 4 years or a bit more with Reagan at least pontificating as a conservative. No matter Clinton still moved the nation left somewhat and that was his assignment from the elites. Even with the 1994 Republican revolution.

He could have just supported someone else who would claim to do these things...

Just saying.

He's running to stay out of jail.

Apparently you are off in your numbers.
Half is too high.

It's only a third and shrinking.

Is the Harris campaign just imploding or what?
Granted Tim didn't do well in the debate but dang....didn't expect this kind of numbers a week after.

Pew Research and all the polls done since he came into the scene do not agree with you:

Trump remains broadly unpopular with the public: 63% of Americans have an unfavorable opinion of the former president

Oh my word. We deserve to lose this country, with so many gullible people.

(On both sides of the aisle. The "Trump is the worst president ever and future Hitler!" crowd, and the "Trump is the best president ever and our Savior!" crowd.)

Half is too high.

And so is he. Off his rocker and his meds but high on drugs.

Oh my word. We deserve to lose this country, with so many gullible people.

Well he's not my savior but I still think that he's the best president ever.

It just isn't that simple..lol. Trump knows he can do "those things" for he proved it for four years before the country and the leaders of the world. In other words, he has a track record unlike any other president in recent years and he's willing and ready to do it again, to the best of his abilities.

to stay out of prison.

 

[playtime]

Well he's not my savior

that doesn't matter - HE thinks he is your savior.

but I still think that he's the best president ever.

Narcissism cannot be a reason in truth.

Narcissists do not play at being a buffoon by cracking jokes. The name calling and other hilarious things he does are not compatible with being a Narcissist.

I believe the orange bag O' shit has never told a joke in his life. Ridicule is only useful in crowds of the like-minded. You perceive this as 'cracking jokes'. You are as humor impaired as he is.
