4. Same as 2016...he never expected to win

and his only goal was to make money during the campaign. He did NOT want to be POTUS at that time. He viewed it as a grift and when he won he was "Oh shit, this is real".

Then he started his reality show on TV every night as he interviewed various cabinet member for various positions. All the MSM waited with baited breath for him to tell the world what he served for dinner and THAT is why we are here right now!

Once the MSM TV latched onto his Apprentice series(I never watched a single episode...total BS trash) celebrity crap he started to like being POTUS. He got attention and money and knew he could gain even more personal wealth as well as spread his racist and misogynistic agenda....power, control, revenge, sadism, etc.

I remember it clearly, even though I had been extremely ill for 3 months. You can still find/see the live news clip of tRump's face. He was in shock, but not "happy" shock. He was in "Oh, shit" shock when the election results were announced. Everyone around him him was joyous and clapping (including his spawn) except for him.
