Since TFG "entered politics", did he think (of course he didn't!)

[no_hypocrisy]

A) He could just get away with everything like he's gotten away with everything in the Past, or

B) He didn't care if he got caught (see "A" ),

C) He believed he could run out the clock with legal actions,

D) This is how he is. He's never competed fairly. He's cheated his entire life.

E) All of the above.

1. Too easy: E

2. I'm still in the camp that he never really believed ...

… he would win in 2016. He was self promoting and seeking publicity. When he did win, he simply brought that narcissistic con-man personality to the White House because that’s all he knows. Actually governing the country never crossed his mind.

3. He never believed he could win, but loved the attention.

He never really wanted the job, but loved the power that went with it.

4. Perfect take on it. n/t

5. He believes his poop don't stink and

a sniff of his Depends says something else.

6. Well, he's gotten away with everything all his life, why would he think it would change?

So far he's right. He hasn't been indicted, tried, fined or incarcerated for much of anything. Got a slap on the wrist for using his charity as a piggy bank. Nothing for money laundering. He'll con and grift until his orange carcass is buried or burned.

7. I haven't seen any evidence it hasn't worked for him so far nt
