I, too, have thought that Trump never wanted to win, really. I mean, with his wealth, he can do anything. (I can only dream of visiting Firenze again. He can have a house there and fly there every week or two.) He could be a philanthropist; he could have lived so that New York loved and honored him. Why would he want to be sequestered in one of the world's worst and most demanding, under-the-microsope jobs? But I'm not sure this line of reasoning is on track—for why has he chosen to lose so classlessly? I have to conclude he is out of control, not even acting in self interest. That's close to being crazy.
