Donald Trump hatte nie vor, Präsident zu werden, so die These von US-Dokumentarfilmer Michael Moore. Was als Publicity Stunt begann, um seinen Medien-Wert und seine Verhandlungsposition als TV-Marke zu steigern wurde unvorhergesehenermaßen eine Lawine. So begeistert Trump war, so bedrückend wurde gleichzeitig die Vision, am Ende vielleicht wirklich diesen langweiligen Job im öden Washington machen zu müssen (Sad!).
"Trump fell in love with himself all over again, and he soon forgot his mission to get a good deal for a TV show. A TV show? Are you kldding – that’s for losers like Chris Harrison, whoever that is (host of “The Bachelorette”). He was no longer king of the dealmakers — he was King of the World! His tiniest musings would be discussed and dissected everywhere by everybody for days, weeks, months! THAT never happened on “The Apprentice”! Host a TV show? He was the star of EVERY TV SHOW — and, soon, winning nearly every primary!And then (...) it finally dawned on him… that “Oh shit!” revelation: “I’m actually going to be the Republican nominee — and my rich beautiful life is f#*@ing over!” (...) It was no longer going to be performance art. He was going to have to go to work."
Moore vermutet, dass Trump versuchte hat durch seine unfassbaren Bemerkungen sich selbst aus dem Rennen zu kegeln (okay?). Und nachdem dies nicht gelungen ist, so Moore weiter, damit er dazu gezwungen werde, für einen anderen republikanischen Kandidaten Platz zu machen, oder, wenn er verliert, es irgendwem anders in die Schuhe schieben zu können. Denn eines werde dieser Mann niemals akzeptieren: in der Wahlnacht als Verlierer festgestellt zu werden.
"Many now are sensing the end game here because they know Trump seriously doesn’t want to do the actual job — and, most importantly, he cannot and WILL NOT suffer through being officially and legally declared a loser — LOSER! — on the night of November 8th. Trust me, I’ve met the guy. Spent an afternoon with him. He would rather invite the Clintons AND the Obamas to his next wedding than have that scarlet letter (“L”) branded on his forehead seconds after the last polls have closed on that night, the evening of the final episode of the permanently cancelled Donald Trump Shit-Show."
