It because he needs a job since he is broke-That's why he won't release his tax returns.
Resurrecting - JUST SAYING!
That was fun.

(4,462 posts)He needs money and a presidential run might allow him to become a speaker, a TV political advisor. He is doing it for the money and has no interest in the actual job.

(670 posts)he simply cannot start at the bottom like a normal schlub. He refuses to flip burgers or work his way up the chain at Walmart.
I can partly understand that, I could not see myself flipping burgers with my (incredibly expensive and not yet paid for) education.

He is deeply indebted to the Russian bankers and since he has all of these toys (yacht, chopper, airplane etc) and just runs around letting people name shit after him (steaks, ties universities etc) he has no money to pay them back.
He's tried his damndest to sabotage the run, but Fox News has been talking up republicans for so long that in the eyes of a large number of voters, he can do no wrong.
He's in debt to the Russian mob and can't pay them back. His campaign manager has a history in that part of the world.
It all kind of fits together.

(14,521 posts)by his standards. He is no way he is worth as much as he says he is.
Now add to that the Russian investments in his holdings and they are not skyrocketing in value...he owes them big bucks. He wants to be in a position where they will forgive his debt in return for political favors.
TrumpU lawsuits would most likely be tossed if he wins.
There has also been some rumors about his charity. Mainly him using it to buy items for himself. followed by not much actual charitable giving.
This guy is corrupt to his core and the walls are closing in. Being president is his escape hatch.
Even being a nominee is a bonus for him. He can try all his woes in the press. they are out to get me with these false allegations type claims. The republicans have proven they are depraved and will believe him.
The very least, he is looking to cash in ala Palin style. Book deals, fox gig and speeches.
