You don’t think he had plenty enough attention (of the highest degree I’m sure) already existing in his life even before running in 2016?
No, I don't believe he did. I believe people like him are like junkies, and they need more and more over time.

he’s actually at a net loss in the area of the type of “positive” attention to which I assume you refer.
He is NOW, but he wants to feel the power that he was feeling when he was president. As powerful as he's been in the past, it was never anything compared to the power and adulation he got as president.
Really, your position is akin to someone saying, "Well, he's already a billionaire, why would he want more?" They just do.

Well not exactly, because wanting to add to the wealth he already has probably isn’t going to get him indicted in numerous criminal cases and relentless threats to the peace and relative security that he and family enjoyed prior to the jaunt into politics. Thus the cost/benefit analysis comes down to whether there’s a net increase “attention” over and above that which he already enjoyed before that outweighs the costs described above. It just doesn’t make sense on its face, and I do believe Trump is more than capable of the same thought process.
What does it all mean? IMO that there’s some other benefit that he sees being worthy of the cost described above, and not a selfish one as some tend to believe.
