Yes, Trump really wants the Presidency and thinks he'd be the greatest president evah

It may have started as more lark than serious endeavor, but it's obvious that at this point he's serious as a heart attack.

What part of megalomaniac, don't people understand?

If we were a dictatorship perhaps in his mind he may think he can change the country. But as president if you get one or two major accomplishments through congress you are good. He cannot run the country like a business. It won't work.

grew up with the nuisance of Trump having a phone with 50 or so media people on speed dial (now Twitter makes it worse) know he really believes his bullshit.

He really does. Megalomania is just the beginning.

He can't live unless he gets a headline a day, and past runs were just to keep the press up and running while he was off doing other stuff. This time he sees coverage like he never imagined before and his fevered mind believes his own tweets. Or, rather, twits.

Kill off the coverage and he'll be out of here like shit through a goose.
