  This is what it started as. Once he was matched up vs Hillary, he knew he had to win. 
  I still don’t think he ever wanted the job. He just wanted to win the election.
context: And then the man who claimed to be "the most transparent administration ever" had the schedule changed to just say "meetings and phone calls" with no specifics. >
  
  ...directly before an attempted coup in his name, if the article is to be believed.
  How much do you want to bet that someone directly implicated on Jan. 6th told him "make sure so-and-so meeting doesn't end up on your public schedule", and his response was "what public schedule?" >
  
  record scratch >
  
  Looking at his schedule was a joke and he put in about 3 hours per day. He spent a lot of time golfing and watching TV and he would fly home about 11 AM every Friday. He actually thought that the government ran itself and that being president was just a status symbol. >
  
  He treated it like he treated his companies. The Trump organization ran itself (thanks to the staff that actually showed up and worked) and he just did the fun stuff. 
  Why would being president be any different as far as he was concerned? >
  
  That’s what “running the country like a business” meant >
  
  Clock out at 11a on Friday, get back to the office at 1p on Monday. “Anything happen over the weekend, guys?” DJT, probably. >
  
  Actually he would clock in around 11am each day, because he would literally spend hours every morning sitting in his dark bedroom watching Fox News before he poked his head outside to the real world.  I wish I was exaggerating. >
  
  I think we are forgetting how much time he spent on Twitter, and him thinking he was leading by tweeting.
  And now we have leaders, many in South America, who think being president means leading via Twitter. There was a recent news article about a SA president who is almost unreachable... except via Twitter. >
  
  And of course it wasn't always him tweeting from his account. He had others who would post under it as him. Which means it something was horrible, he could always deny it was him. If it resonated, then clearly it was him.. right?
  The joke isn't that this guy existed and was President. It's that an entire party (and voter base) stood behind him and said it's totally fake news because he shared their team colors (R). It's a playbook for all future aspiring leaders. >
  
  I keep checking when I tell myself or others "what a joke," because none of this is actually funny or humorous and places the fate of the US at risk.
  I agree with you, though, I don't consider the GOP or its minions funny. >
  
  He STILL has no idea what the job entails.
  He spent the vast majority of his time golfing and courting bribes from foreign dictators.
  He also routinely spent entire days binge watching Fox News and setting Guinness world records for toilet rage tweeting. >
  
  It's almost like his whole campaign was just a scam to get "donations" and he never actually wanted to be President.
