Trump Never Actually Wanted The Job, Just The Attention

     Donald J. Trump, Republican Nominee for President of the United States,  played with the idea of running for President in a few Presidential election cycles. He enjoyed the attention he got when the media kept after him as he was "deciding" whether or not he was going to run. Until this current cycle he milked that attention as long as he could and then begrudgingly announced he wasn't going to run, and with that, the attention he loved so much went away. Donald Trump announces his candidacy for the U.S. presidency at Trump Tower on Tuesday, June 16, 2015, in New York City. He took the plunge and found himself in a world he worshiped, the world of all eyes focusing on him. He is in fact a egocentric, an incurable narcissist to the nth degree. Possibly a sociopath, for real!  Upon winning the Republican primary he was told that viciously attacking opponents using lies and outrageous statements, although they do get crowds riled up, would not work in the general election. He was now going to have to "pivot" and become more restrained and Presidential. He would have nothing to do with that at first. He then tried a number of times to "stay on message" and be more "Presidential" but couldn't, and still can't. Within hours of reading a prepared, measured, controlled speech from the teleprompter he would find himself tweeting his zany, outrageous, racist, hateful, ignorant, and shocking (although nothing shocks people anymore because of how he is and what he has already said) tweets, contradicting what he had just said hours before. It's then that signs began to show that he didn't really want to do the job that is President of the United States. 

     Leading up to the conventions it was time to pick a Vice Presidential candidate. The vetting of these candidates began. Trump sent Donald Trump Jr. to "vet" John Kasich, Governor of Ohio, and Trump Jr. said to Governor Kasich "how would you like to be the most powerful Vice President there ever was in history." John Kasich was somewhat taken aback said "Well, how would that be?" Donald Trump Jr. said "You would be completely in charge of all foreign and domestic policy." Again aghast at what Trump Jr. just said Kasich responded "but that's EVERYTHING! What would the "President" be doing?" And with that, wait for it, wait for it, with a straight face Donald Trump Jr. said "Making America great again." Now, before all the loyalist Trump supporters deny this and say "that's a lie!" you need to know that Governor Kasich himself has told of this conversation numerous times on Sunday News TV shows and to many media outlets, and not once did Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr., nor anyone from the Trump campaign ever say that a single word of what Governor Kasich recounted was inaccurate. That was because by the time the convention came about, Trump had already decided that there was no way he was going to put all his money in a trust, live on the $400,000/yr salary that the President receives, and especially was not going to actually do the  job and fulfill the obligations of the President. A reporter once showed Trump a picture of President Barack Obama, and another of President George W. Bush, both had been wearing traditional garb of the country they were visiting while they were with the leader of that country, the reporter asked Trump, "are you willing to carry on this tradition of protocol?" Trump responded "I'll have someone do that for me."  I guess billionaires are used to having someone do anything that has to be done that they themselves don't want to do. Did you know that the President has to pay for every meal that he, his family, and any private guests eat? Yes, they do. Who Pays for the Obama Family's Food? by mentalfloss.com . Could you imagine Donald J. Trump getting a bill, equivalent in price to what an eight star hotel would charge if they existed, every month?! A Chief Usher for many years at the White House recalled he doesn't "remember a single first family that didn't complain about the high price of food at the White House. What WOULD Trump do if his trained pallet, and that of any private guests, accounted for his entire salary? OH NO! No presents for Melania this year. UH OH! Is there a divorce in the future for "President Trump?!"

Trump Admitted He Doesn't Know "A Lot" of Things A President Needs To Know - Yet He Refuses To Learn, Why?

He doesn't want to bother to learn all that stuff someone would need to be an effective (or at least not the stupidest) President ever. He knows he's not going to need that knowledge because he's never going to be President. Remember, this egomaniac is only in it for the attention he gets at the rallies! I'm being serious, not sarcastic. When asked about not knowing what he would need to know about foreign policy Trump admitted "there's a lot I don't know, but I'll surround myself with the smartest people, the best people, really good people." His ability to do that has not exactly proved to be true as his very first "hire" was Elliot Broidy, whom he brought on to advise him "on all financial matters." Broidy owned a small Wall Street investment firm and had previously plead guilty to bribing people in the NY Attorney General's office, and others, with $1M, to get control of $250M of the NYC Employee Pension Fund, to invest, and then promptly took $18M in fraudulent fees. In court Broidy admitted to the bribes and taking of fees and said "there's no way a small investment firm like mine would ever get to control $250M of that fund without bribes." READ MORE: Guilty Plea in Fraud Case Tied to New York Pension  Trump's hiring of "the best people, the smartest people, the best" hasn't improved. Just look at his campaign.


If Trump Refuses To Learn The Important Issues About Foreign and Domestic Policy, How Will He Ever Actually Get Anything Done As President? He Won't, Because He Has No Plans On Actually Fulfilling the Duties of the President Of The United States

     Just as he had Donald Trump Jr. have that conversation with Governor Kasich, Donald Trump has given many loud signs that he will not be President and will not fulfill the obligations of the presidency. He also has said many things that should have put up a big red flag that he is constantly lying and has no idea of what is is actually saying, like when he says "I know more about ISIS than the Generals do." REALLY Mr Trump?! REALLY?!, The GENERALS! Who are actually ACTUALLY FIGHTING THE WAR?! REALLY?! You lying, despicable, draft-dodging, piece of S__T! And yea, I'm sure that, like you say in the photo above, you will make our heads spin, but it won't be because you will be "so good at the military." That being the same military you  fraudulently dodged by having some doctor write a note saying you had a "bone spur" which made you incapable of performing any kind of duty in the Armed Forces. Well, let me congratulate you on your complete recovery, and for having the "best health of anyone that ever became President of the United States" as per your Gastroenterologist (I won't use his name here so as not to embarrass him or to have him lose business because he had the unfortunate circumstance of being your doctor) that was given only 5 minutes to write that letter you requested and became "flustered." By the way, he says on his television interview that he was told he needed the letter in 5 minutes because Hillary's campaign was about to release a letter from HER doctor. The problem with that is, that she already produced a letter (one that actually meets the standard) back in JULY! Why would you tell this doctor you needed this letter in 5 minutes because Hillary was about to release hers if she released hers months ago?

     So who does Donald Trump get his military and foreign policy knowledge from? As you can see in the above photo he talks to himself! It must be that military school he went to. You know, the one that "made him feel like he was in the military." Yea, this it! It was that military school that taught him all he knows about foreign policy, which is a resounding ZERO! ZILCH! NADA! NOTHING! But he was smart enough to ask 3 times, 3 times in a one-hour instructional and informational meeting (he needed to learn about nuclear weapons because he slipped awhile back and showed his ignorance when he blurted something out that told everyone in the world that he had no idea of what the Nuclear Triad is) about nuclear weapons from one of the most respected people in the world on the topic, "if we have nuclear weapons, why don't we use them?" Yes 3 times he asked this top expert
"if we have nuclear weapons, why don't we use them?!" That's scary!

     By his own words and especially by the actions of him and his campaign he has basically told everyone that he in no way in hell will put all his money in a trust, live off the $400,000/yr salary, and definitely not live life day-to-day as a President of the United States. As he has said numerous times, after the election he can go back to a REALLY GOOD LIFE.

Trump Has Indicated He Doesn't Want To Win

     Joe Scarborough (Morning Joe/MSNBC) said on his show a few weeks ago that he was with a "very close friend" of Trump's that past weekend and the friend said Trump told him that the best outcome would be that he lost the election (because he doesn't really want to BE president) but only by a few points so then he could claim the election was rigged, for the rest of his life, and not be looked upon as a "loser."  Trump has said he wouldn't do a number of things that the POTUS is required to do, and he doesn't have any notion to do them.

The Strategy (To Lose)

Reaching Out To Minorities Is Imperative To Win -- Oh Well

     Trump's campaign announced about a week before the RNC Convention that the candidate, immediately following the convention, would be going on "An Outreach To The Hispanic Community Tour," because they know for a fact that you can't win a Presidential election with only "old white men" and racists. In fact they actually scheduled events starting in the important swing state of Florida for the day after the Democratic convention ended. But the day after the DNC convention ended the Trump cancelled that appearance and all the rest of the "Outreach To The Hispanic Community Tour." Trump initially cancelled his "Outreach" scheduled for July 8th in Miami with Cuban business and faith leaders because of the tragic shooting of police officers in Dallas. 

"RNC Chair Reince Priebus bragged prior to the Republican Convention that Trump “is going to be doing a Hispanic engagement tour coming up soon” and claimed Trump “understands” the need to expand the party in the general election. That apparently went in one ear and out the other as Trump has failed to meet with Hispanic leaders in Texas and Florida, which is only angering the few Republican Hispanic voters left." 

Then the rescheduled July 26 event was officially canceled because the roundtable participants were out of town. (Three Republican sources told BuzzFeed News a hold was put on the campaign calendar for that time slot but the event was never planned.)
Another unreported, but planned Hispanic event was also canceled: The July 5 event was supposed to bring Trump face-to-face with San Antonio business leaders and Texas Republicans, but after the campaign reached out for venue space and possible participants, the event was scrapped.

     Again there is just NO WAY anyone can win a presidential election with just old white men and racists. Breitbart.com (former CEO Stephen Bannon is now Trump's campaign CEO) is a right wing, conspiracy theory, website that is known for completely making up false news and stories.
Based on seeing an article on Breitbart,com Trump said “I don’t know if you’ve seen what's happening, but over the last three weeks, the polls with African American folks and Spanish-speaking folks, the Hispanics, Latinos, have gone way up. Way up. They’ve gone way up,” Trump said, to applause. "It seemed like it was validation of the time he'd spent over the last week making somewhat awkward appeals to voters in those demographics. But it’s not, because those numbers are wrong.
The problem almost certainly began with a headline at Trump’s favorite website, Breitbart.com. On the heels of Trump’s speech near Milwaukee last Tuesday, the site ran a story with a headline that would seem to make Trump's case on black voters." READ MORE: Donald Trump is doing great with black and Hispanic voters now, according to polls that don’t exist . "On Aug. 5, those numbers were 8 percent and 24 percent, respectively. In the Reuters/Ipsos poll, Trump went from 5.6 percent with black voters on Aug. 1 to 2.5 percent on Monday. (There weren’t enough Hispanic respondents to separate out.)" So why would Donald Trump cancel his events with all Black and Hispanic voters and leaders? Because he doesn't WANT to win!

The Ground Game

When Donors Donate To Trump's Campaign Do They Understand That He's Using Their Money To Feed His Narcissistic Behavior, And His Ego, And His Need To Hear Crowds Cheering, And NOT To Help His Chances Of Winning The White House?

     A good, well established, ground game, is another absolute must if you actually want to win the presidency. Renting a 10,000 seat arena in the State of Washington, where this candidate has NO CHANCE of winning is not. He also has made appearances at places like Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, CT, once again veering from appearances in key swing states like Florida and Pennsylvania to try to bolster his support in a “true blue” state. There he spoke to African-Americans, the only problem with that is the room was filled with older white Americans. The speculation that Trump would visit Connecticut before the announcement was made drew a sharp attack from Connecticut Democrats."Donald Trump stands for everything we in Connecticut stand against. From inciting violence against his political opponent, to insulting a Gold Star family, to mocking a reporter with a physical disability, Trump has shown time and time again that he is temperamentally unfit and lacks the judgment to serve as commander-in-chief,” the Connecticut Democratic Party said in a statement.

     Trump has literally NO CHANCE of winning the state of Washington state, so why is he spending his donors money renting out the 10,000 seat Xfinity Arena? A protest against Donald Trump was planned for Clark Park at the same time as the candidates event.  According to the Facebook group "No Hate in Our State," the protesters planned to march against "Trump's dangerous xenophobic, racist, misogynist, homophobic rhetoric and policies. "On this day we will come together peacefully, and reject Trump's hate, and violence," the page read. " “I think everyone who is following the polling can see what the numbers are and that is that. Hillary Clinton is winning this state by a wide margin,” said Bill Phillips, former chairman of the Snohomish County Democrats.

     Trump also predicted a general election victory in Washington state, which hasn’t voted Republican for President since Ronald Reagan in 1984. A new survey by independent pollster Stuart Elway shows Clinton leading 43% to Trump’s 24% in Washington. Read more here: http://www.theolympian.com/news/politics-government/article98973802.html#storylink=cpy Why is he not spending that money on an all important ground game? Perhaps because HE DOESN'T WANT TO ACTUALLY WIN!

     "Donald Trump’s ground game in key swing states is a disaster, and it’s causing panic among Republicans, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday."  READ MORE: The GOP Panics As Donald Trump’s Ground Game Is Virtually Nonexistent What Trump is NOT doing with donors money is setting up field offices in key battleground states to get the vote out. Trump, knowing how important a good ground game is to actually wining the election has done the following in key battleground states:

Battleground State Field Offices

"As the presidential election marathon breaks into a final sprint, the Trump campaign faces a jaw-dropping gap in the ground game: Hillary Clinton currently has more than three times the number of campaign offices in critical states than does Donald Trump. Those figures include both Trump offices and Republican National Committee victory offices, as confirmed by the Trump campaign.  As of Aug. 30, Hillary Clinton has 291 offices in those 15 battlegrounds. Donald Trump has 88. (Those figures include joint presidential and party offices.)  Both campaigns pledge that more offices are coming." READ MORE: The Trump campaign has a ground-game problem - pbs.org/newshour .
 
FLORIDA: Donald Trump’s campaign has opened a whopping ONE field office of the 24 field offices it promised to open in the important battleground state of Florida. Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton’s campaign has 34 offices in the state."

NORTH CAROLINA: Clinton: 30 Field Offices, Trump: NONE

PENNSYLVANIA: Clinton: 36 Field Offices, Trump: 2

NEW HAMPSHIRE: Clinton: 17 Field Offices, Trump: 1

 OHIO: Clinton: 36 Field Offices, Trump: 16 (No Republican has ever won the presidency without winning Ohio)

 VIRGINIA: Clinton: 29 Field Offices, Trump: 18 (These are actually RNC offices that Trump claimed he opened.)

     For maps showing all battleground states and how many field offices each candidate has opened SEE: The Trump campaign has a ground-game problem - pbs.org/newshour . Why isn't Trump building a good ground (get out the vote) game if he knows that there is absolutely NO WAY to win a presidential election without one? BECAUSE HE DOESN'T WANT TO WIN! How can his supporters, and especially donors, no see this?!   


     I challenge any Trump supporter and/or donor to convince me that they REALLY BELIEVE that Trump is READY and WILLING to take over the presidency.
