Michael Moore makes a good case that Donald Trump never wanted to be president. He sought more leverage with NBC over “The Apprentice.”
“I’m not saying that Trump and I shared the same agent or lawyer or stylist, or if we did, that would have anything to do with anything. And I’m certainly not saying I ever overheard anything at those agencies or in the hallways of NBC or anywhere else,” Moore wrote. “But there are certain people reading this right now, they know who they are, and they know that every word in the following paragraphs actually happened.”
But Moore thinks Trump fell in love with himself and his crowds, “and he soon forgot his mission to get a good deal for a TV show.”
Now, however, “maybe the meltdown of the past three weeks was no accident. Maybe it’s all part of his new strategy to get the hell out of a race he never intended to see through to its end anyway. … He cannot and WILL NOT suffer through being officially and legally declared a loser—LOSER!—on the night of November 8.”
