It doesn't make any sense. He either wants the job or he doesn't. If he does, he needs to figure out--FAST--that running the United States of America is not a reality TV show!! If he doesn't, he could have declined the GOP nomination and let... just about anyone else in the running (besides maybe Ted Snooz) have it.
Oh? That seems like a false dichotomy, to me. I've fucked around with jobs before, and taken interviews for jobs I knew ahead of time I'd turn down. And I'm certainly no billionaire with tons of other options. And _why_ does a billionaire, with a private jet NEED to do this? Why can't he just fuck around, and if the shit hits the fan, cash out and take his wealth elsewhere? Tahiti is quite nice. Then there is the other point of view: maybe he doesn't give a shit how good of a job he actually does, even if he gets it. Lets face it, most politicians have been colossal fuck ups. But still, they get reverence and respect from the masses. Their opinions are taken seriously, and all of that. You seem to be working from the point of view that the government is somehow quite important. Well, fine, granted that to regular folks the government does seem quite important. But to billionaires, who regularly buy political favor, who know - first hand - that the government is merely the marketing and PR firm for the wealthy at best, or a inconvenience they have to work around at worst, I would imagine that there is a substantially different view. If you think on it, I believe you'll find that what YOU NEED him (or another other presidential candidate) to do, and what THEY NEED to do, have very little in common.
