Trump's Presidential Campaign Is Mostly About Making Money

I believe that Donald Trump's Presidential Campaign is primarily about him making more money.  Trump is no politician, and has no real interest in politics beyond the bottom line of his corporations.  Sure, maybe he wanted to shake up the Republican Party and politics in general, and he certainly has done so in showing that a rich person can basically *pay* to become a party nominee, if they have the funds.

Even though Trump will very likely lose the general election, his commercial brand will have been revitalized.  And let's face it, he hasn't had many good ideas since he hired a ghost-writer for THE ART OF THE DEAL and coming up with the slogan "You're fired!".

Trump has no interest in wrangling with Congress over legislation, trying to gain the respect of world leaders, or in being a leader himself.  He's mostly interested in business; he worships the dollar, not any other god.  He likes being famous, and he likes "winning" whatever game he's playing -- and politics is the game he's currently playing.

Personally i think he's *afraid* of actually winning the Presidency -- afraid that he'd be assassinated by a true conservative Republican so that Mike Pence would become President -- and so he guarantees his un-electability by systematically insulting and alienating groups, tapping into the sadly still-prevalent prejudices of U.S. citizens (which, with protest votes, ensures that he'll get 40 or 45% of the vote).

Give it four months, and we'll see!  (And i'm betting Trump expands his TV empire by his dalliance in politics.)
