Most of know knew this crap about Trump before his book. Trump has always been a liar and charlatan, has always been a Shyster , a low moral con man.
Now....focus like a laser:
Is it
"his "ultimate goal ... had never been to win."
Or.....
"Russian collusion" to steal the election?
Both?
See why intelligent folks are amused by you morons?
No one who voted for Donald Trump has even the tiniest shred of a claim of being one of the “intelligent folks”. Not that you ever did, regardless of how clever YOU think you are, few here would agree with you.
Yes both are possible. Donald and Melania may not have wanted to win, but everyone else around them did, and assumed they did too.
It certainly explains why he seemed to do everything possible to lose.
It actually strengthens the case for collusion not weakens it. Since they weren’t planning on winning, what happened in the campaign wasn’t important. Let the Russians think we’re open to their help. Maybe there’s a way to make a few bucks later on if we cooperate with them. Let them think they’re helping us.
On election night, Donald Trump had a deer in the headlights look about him. Like he didn’t expect to win. During the 60 Minutes interview on the following Sunday, he was like a man with a flop sweat. Holy shit, how do I get out of this? He didn’t seem happy, or prepared for the job ahead.
It’s not surprising that he’s been so bad at it.
