Tie between wanting to change history and love of power.
For Trump I think he wants to start a dynasty.
His sons and daughter look ready to go into politics at any time.
'I am President of the United States' is a heck of a pickup line.
I thought of him when I typed that.I don't know, most guys I know managed to score better at the bars with "I'm an attorney" or "I own my own business" versus what Bill Clinton ended up with
It ain't a bad gig as far are money and perks. $400k salary that you really don't need to live on. A six-figure expense account. You get to live in a 55k square foot mansion for free and I'm sure its actually a bigger than that when you include underground areas they don't tell us about. 747 private jumbo jet to use for free. Helicopter to use for free. Chauffeured limousine to use for free. You own private vacation retreat, Camp David. And there's when you're poor and still in office. After you leave office is when you really start raking in the cash. Every living President of the US is a multi-millionaire. Carter is the broke one with $5 million in the bank. Clinton's net worth is $80 million.
It's funny though since they still have to pay for their own food.
I've sometimes wondered if being president of the United States is worth the headache. Unimaginable stress. Nowhere near the compensation deserved. Half the country hates your stinkin' guts. Half the world hates your stinkin' guts. On call 24/7. Your descisions will lead to people being killed. Privacy, what's that? Armed men escort you to the potty and stand within a few feet as you take a leak with standing orders to pick up up and carry you to a place of safety in the event of an emergency even if you're not finished. Same is true if you're in the shower or playing doctor with your wife (or husband.) I've tried to put myself in the shoes of a presidential candidate to figure out why they would want the job. What do you thinK?
