Trump’s next candidacy could be a scam

So, Donald Trump has announced his candidacy for President again. However, there is a possibility that he, master of the fine art of scams, has no intention at all to be the next President. Indeed, he quite possibly won’t even run a serious campaign.
His motivation could well be only another example of his wielding his skill of raising money for himself — just an extension of activities like his “charity” and Trump University. Combine that motive with his adoring followers — a group who could be slapped in the face with mountains of evidence and who still refuse to believe the election was not fixed — and he has the source of money. Those adoring and gullible followers will give and give as generously as they can. This combination is an opportunity that would be just too perfect for Trump to pass up.
After bilking folks for all he can, he could announce that he can’t run for president because, once again, he is a victim being treated unfairly by the media. And sadly, those who contributed to his “campaign” will believe that, too.
This scenario is a strong possibility. Time will tell.
