If NBC had not dropped his ‘reality’ show the Apprentice, we would not be in this mess. I’m not blaming NBC, business is business.
Trumps ego got bruised. This is NOT something that a narcissist like Trump can handle. He needs face time, TV time, he needs his name in the news.
Plan - A run for President, lose, and start his own anti-Hillary channel that would make FOX look fair and balanced. That, is what I think his plan was. It would be a big F you to NBC (Trump runs on revenge), get him TV time and money.
What was underestimated by us all, was the level of ignorance in our own country. The racists and bigots put him in the Oval Office. I really think he was surprised too.
Turned out, he liked it. He could bully just about anyone. And was mostly protected from any kind of justice. And the grifting, well… WOW.
But, his life was put under a microscope. All of his crimes over many years where now front page news.
Now he’s screwed. So he must become President again to protect himself from all the additional crimes he has commited.
