I always thought it was the exact reason that was mentioned in the link of the front pic of the DU.
That the only reason Trump ran for president is because he was made fun of by President
Obama at the 2011 Press Dinner.
Seriously, this is the Bully's revenge, hes going to make people pay.
He was laughed at, and made fun of and now he wants to prove people wrong.
Its all about Revenge.
There is no way he wants to sit in at a education meeting or read a 500 page report over
the weekend about the structural features of American Prisons.
All he wanted was to shove it up, President Obama.
And the media is letting him.
This first debate is crucial.

Forgive, but don't forget because there might be unfinished business (prosecution, social activism).

(629 posts)It was just another Trump scheme to make money. People and organizations are literally giving him, a self proclaimed billionaire, millions of dollars. He is using it to pay his various shell corporations for his use of them, he charges outrageous fees, pays less than contracted to take a loss, deducts depreciation of assets, and screws everyone that does business with him. This election is a gold mine for him and his idiot sons and daughter.

(7,723 posts)but it is a major reason.
I think it was also part of a negotiating strategy for his show.
I think also he wants to use it to help his business.
Plus, doesn't he want to start a media venture?

(2,620 posts)He is an even bigger jackass because he cannot touch Obama who has already left a great legacy which the clown cannot come close to.

(52 posts)Which is why it would be such a tragedy if Trump wins. I mean, America, after 8 years under our first black president, is going to follow up with a man who pushed racist conspiracies about our black president? How low can people go?
