He's not trying to win. This is about publicity. |
Other than selling his name, I don't see how this is worth much launching a fake campaign. I think in his egocentric mind he thinks he can possibly win. |

He also might be doing this in part to show his daughter how this process works and introduce her to the people who control the faucet and the goose that lays golden eggs. I think this is part of Jeb Bush's motive too, for his son George Prescott Bush. These are people that might run in 10-20 years. Plus they get a free trip around the country, courtesy of political donors. |

Trump is no doubt all about the publicity.
But he's also as arrogant as it gets. I have little doubt that in his twisted mind he actually thinks (or thought) that he had a chance of being an actual candidate in this race. |

He still holds broad appeal in the angry white men over age 50 suffering from low-T demographic. |

I think the latest polls had him up there with Jeb Bush.....so he probably thinks pissing off a bunch of Latinos is worth it if he has a chance to get the nomination. |

What has to qualify as BREAKING NEWS, Trump actually had something complimentary to say about the President:
| Quote: | Bombastic GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump offered a rare spot of praise for President Barack Obama on Wednesday.
Trump, a staunch critic of Obama, spoke highly of the eulogy the President gave at the funeral of Clementa Pinckney, the murdered pastor of the church and a South Carolina state senator.
| Quote: | | "I thought it was excellent. I'm not a fan of the President; I think he's hurt us economically, (But) I thought his speech was excellent. And I loved when he started to sing." |
Trump also praised the responses of the family and the church community, who offered forgiveness for the shooter.
| Quote: | "Nothing good comes out of a horror show like that but if anything, the way the people reacted, who were so affected, the love that they had, it was incredible. It was actually an incredible moment, I've never seen anything like it.
"I couldn't have done that. I would have been angry and I would have really gone after, I would have wanted to rip this guy's heart out. And I watched the way these people reacted with the love and the faith and God and everything else, I thought it was one of the more beautiful things that I've seen in my life." |
