Personally I think it is that he wants to be remembered as somebody who made a difference in a major way. And I think his motives are purely to leave a legacy of a country in much better shape than it was.

Does he have the right ideas of how to do that? I don't know. I am just trusting that he couldn't possibly be any worse than what we have had and we have at least a chance that he might be pretty darn good.
 
Re: What is the primary reason that Donald Trump is running for the President of the

I voted ego. I think it would be a trophy for him.
 
Re: What is the primary reason that Donald Trump is running for the President of the

I think he thinks he can actually improve America. I'm sure there's plenty of ego too, no politician anywhere ever runs for office without having a huge ego, but primarily, I think he has decent intentions.
 
Re: What is the primary reason that Donald Trump is running for the President of the

Power and ego.

LOL Like he left those Trump University graduates....They are in so much better shape. Hes' coning you the same way he did them. He's nothing but an empty suit.
 
Re: What is the primary reason that Donald Trump is running for the President of the

An ego that makes most politicians look downright humble in comparison. Plus he gets his kicks bullying others to try to get his way. He just wants to be the big man on the planet. Becoming president would be another trophy for him, just like his many wives.

Other. Keeping the campaign cash left over from "almost" winnng the general election. Why spend $1 bllion just to apply for an extremely stressful job that pays far less than one makes now. ;)

Every Presidential candidate has to have an ego to think they should run the US. It is basically part and parcel of the job.
So #1 is a given.

After that, the only thing that exists is fact, and unsupported assumption.

In Trump's case he wants to do it to make America Great again. So #2 is the only correct answer.

Does posting here interfere with your schedule of worship?
 
Re: What is the primary reason that Donald Trump is running for the President of the

How can we expect to have great leaders when we hate on everyone who wants to throw their hats in the ring.

A socialist politician
A "Pre-Felon" politician
A private sector businessman trying to be a politician.

Is America successful because of business or government or social justice?

If you only knew the torturous route that dollar took on its way to residing in your wallet, you'd be a much wiser voter.

I'll vote in your poll when you tell us why everyone else runs.

Hint: No one runs to improve America.

Everybody has an opinion. I wonder if you are as judgmental toward your own candidate who has had her own skirmishes with failed or shady deals. Somehow I think not.

He's from the future, and only his run for the presidency will prevent robots from enslaving the human race. Inside his heart, he's grieving at the spiral of divisiveness and chaos he's pulling the United States into.

Oh, and anonymous polls are stupid.

Oh look, I struck a nerve. Hilarious.

Do you have any facts that says Trump does not want to make America Great again?
What's that? You don't? Just as I thought. Run along now.
 
Re: What is the primary reason that Donald Trump is running for the President of the

Since I can only pic one I went with ego/glory but if it was multiple choice Id pick Ego/glory and improve the trump brand.

And at this point he has already won based on those things....he wont be our next president thats for sure but he did accomplish stroking his ego and improving his trump brand.
 
Re: What is the primary reason that Donald Trump is running for the President of the

When he first entered the race, I assumed it was for ego/glory.

Then - for a few minutes - I thought it might be ego/glory AND to help the country.

Now? I am beginning to think the primary reason he entered was to enhance his name and image so that he can make more money with them.

I am quite sure he wants to be POTUS.

But I think even more then that he wants to me MUCH richer.

Looks like I'm the one who struck a nerve. Your attitude towards Trump is best described as "worshipful."

Re: What is the primary reason that Donald Trump is running for the President of the

It's definitively not to "Make America great again". America is already great in comparison to the other countries. However, the other countries are catching up economically somewhat at our (the U.S.) expense. More people than ever enjoy a higher lifestyle in this country than at any other point in history. Life has never been easier for more people, but that doesn't keep people from complaining or believing that 30 years ago was better than today. It wasn't. Back when there were 250 million people living here the system was stressed. Now that there are more than 315 million the system is stressed even more. We do a remarkable job staying ahead of the curve. Stop complaining.

Some people wish to destroy the golden goose because they can detect an imperfect golden egg, an egg which always sported imperfections. The country is destined to collapse for reasons not mentioned here, but be happy because these are the best of times.

Not at all, and you are wrong as usual with your lame assertion.
 
Re: What is the primary reason that Donald Trump is running for the President of the

Why, all of the above. In a solipsistic mind of a sociopath like Trump, all the offered options are one and the same.

Like most candidates, probably all of the above.
 
Re: What is the primary reason that Donald Trump is running for the President of the

Ego/glory. Maybe a tinge of legacy. The notion that he gives a rat's ass about the country is laughable.
 
Re: What is the primary reason that Donald Trump is running for the President of the

The same as Clinton: ego/glory and pursuit of legacy.
