Does Trump want another term because of his ego, or his love of the USA?

He loves the USA far more than you do and his ego is what keeps him fighting for it, even if it risks his freedom and life.

Frick your rules.

He absolutely loves the country.

Just because he has an ego it doesn’t exclude the fact above.

Combination is the answer, though.

I think his primary drive, especially after having run and won once, is the country. If I had to guess, it was originally a pipe dream but then he saw how much traction he had and that fed his ego. I think after being in office 4 years and seeing how bad shite really is it has probably shifted to his desire to keep this beautiful place from falling so hard we never recover.

And it's raining out, boys.

Does it matter? Was America better off in 2016-2020 or in the last 2 years. I’ll take another 4 years of Trump regardless of his motive.

I think Trump is a genuinely good dude and loves this country. His motivations are good. He's just prone to making colossal mistakes and he cares far too much about what the press is saying/writing about him.

Trump is the only politician that doesn’t have dual Israeli citizenship. That’s why the media hates him so much. Reminds me of another tall blonde haired hero who was crucified by those people

He loves America but his ego is getting the better of him at this point and it's obvious.

At this point it's more about Trump than what is good for the country.

Trump loves Trump first and foremost. Anyone who doesn't acknowledge this is being a complete child. "He sacrificed it all to run for President!!!" - yeah, one of the world's leading narcissists trying to become a famous historical figure and the most powerful man in the world. Practically Mother Teresa over here.

If he can conflate Trump with the USA and his vision of what's good for the USA is sensible, then it works. It mostly did his first term. Trump wins, USA wins.

If we can't get that alignment, and we're not getting it right now, then it doesn't work.

frick that. It absolutely is a combination. Take your stupid rules and get the frick out of here.




I will vote for DeSantis if he's the nominee, and I don't care which of the two it is. I'm just tired of these stupid games of ripping apart the other. You people are just as nuts as the loons on the left.

If he loved the country he wouldn't have sabotaged two sitting Republicans leading up to the GA runoffs by embracing Lin Wood and Sidney Powell, who went to GA and told GOP voters to not vote in the runoff.

If he loved the country he wouldn't have told voters in Colorado to not vote for the Republican Senate candidate and then celebrated when the woke Democrat who wants to indoctrinate kids with CRT won.



If he loved the country he wouldn't have called a successful Republican Governor a traitor and said that the socialist Democrat "might very well be better" than the Republican.

Why not both? It only matters if he does a good job. I mean does it matter if a pro athlete plays for the love of the game or the money.........Not if they win.

Yeah and that ends up hurting the country that he loves. He puts these rivalries and feuds he gets into over everything else at times.

Yes, one of the resident leftist lunatics on this board is now an expert on Trump's policies and their merits.

I don't defend every one of Trump's actions but I'll put his performance as President up against anyone who has served before or after.

He was cheated. He wants to comeback and kick arse in a way so as to dissuade that kind of BS from ever happening again.

Not a leftist. Also, can you name one thing I said that isn't true?
