What were Trumps original intentions? Is he secretly on our side?

Rachel Maddow and a few others have taken a stab at this.
Some that know Trump personally also have.
They say he may not be on the up and up.
Is it all a fake reality show?

Conspiracy Theory - When he spoke with Bill Clinton in May, they cooked this up. Trump would be a stalking horse that actually wants to see Hillary elected. We know he has always been liberal on social issues, is basically an isolationist, and doesn't like how income equality has led to the loss of the middle class. The original goal was just to shake up the GOP and sell more books and increase his brand. But, with the early success, he just keeps upping the game with more outrageous statements. Now, with the nomination a real possibility, he's hoping to bring down the entire GOP and have Hillary win in a landslide where Dems reclaim Senate and maybe House.

Trumps daughter and Chelsea are very close friends.....hmmmm.
More food for thought.

Can you imagine what would happen, if on election night in November in his concession speech, that Trump would come clean and say he made all of this stuff up to become an outrageously unelectable general election candidate and that he is thrilled to have helped Hillary and the Dems win.
It would be the most epic troll of all time!

Trump keeps pulling the other Repubs farther right into wacko land (I know not that hard to do). Media keeps saying Bernie is too far left (eek a Socialist) and Hillary stays in the middle to appeal to the masses. Not wacko right, not scary socialist left, just Goldilocks perfect.

and frankly dangerous. Making light of Trump and its supporters is how you let fascism creep.

He'd bankrupt everyone in the world richest to poorest in a heartbeat if it meant Trump walks away with an extra dime.

The guy is a disaster standing on top a tragedy surround by a holocaust.
