I hope everyone uses the link and reads this. It's an easy read and presents possibilities that might explain some of Trumps motivation. I can't accept any one of them because I don't have enough factual information. But, each appears to be worth consideration. Each gives at least an inkling to why he's doing this. I have a pretty good imagination, but it's very hard for me to envision Trump in the White House. These "maybes" show why. www.cbsnews.com/news/a-guide-to-the-conspiracy-theories-about-donald-trump/ |

He has no intention of becoming presidentIt's a theory as old as the campaign itself: Donald Trump has no intention of becoming president, and this has all been a glorified public relations endeavor. "I can't imagine that he wants to be president," MSNBC's Rachel Maddow told Jimmy Fallon last August. "I'm not even convinced he really wants the job," Tucker Carlson wrote in a January piece for Politico. "He's smart enough to know it would be tough for him to govern." Carlson and Maddow aren't alone in their suspicions. Occidental College professor Peter Drier wrote for the Huffington Post in October that Trump was "scared sh*tless" that he might win the Republican nomination. "Trump goes to sleep at night both excited about the next day's media attention and worried that he might actually win, but unsure how to get out of the bind he now finds himself in," he wrote. Perhaps the most famous encapsulation of this theory came from Stephanie Cegielski, a one-time strategist for a pro-Tump super PAC. "He doesn't want the White House," she wrote in an "open letter" to Trump supporters on the website XOJane. "He just wants to be able to say that he could have run the White House. He's achieved that already and then some. If there is any question, take it from someone who was recruited to help the candidate succeed, and initially very much wanted him to do so." |

I like the one that has him creating and running the Trump News Network, now that FOX is in a bit of a mess. I'm not sure whether they meant he'd try to buy out FOX or just create a rival conservative station. It might be a little risky but if his bright children helped him out, it could be a good option.

Of course. To be expected. Did you read the conspiracy theories? I'd like to see at least one of them hit the jackpot.  |

I remember the same things being said about Obama and Romney, Obama and McCain, Bush and Kerry, Bush and Gore, Clinton and Dole and Clinton and Bush Mark 1. Probably they have been said about previous Presidential elections as well.
Of all the 666 theories I have come across, I found the identification of Paul Ryan and Mike Huckabee with the AntiChrist and Mitt Romney as the False Prophet the most entertaining!
