Donald Trump does not like to lose, as his announcement that he is seeing(sic) new attorneys to appeal the $83 million defamation judgment proves.

      Do you not see how she’s getting press time for these stunts? I think that’s her goal, so she’s doing pretty well

        By that measure, Trump is also smart. Do you really think that’s true?

          I don’t think trump’s goal is fame, so no. I do think Kim kardashian is smart for the same reason though. I’m not saying they’re role models, to be clear.

            I don’t think trump’s goal is fame, so no.

            Are you fucking kidding me? He was a reality TV star for years. He used to insist he had to be in any movie shot in his properties. He brags about his crowd sizes all the time. He recently said privately he was more popular than Taylor Swift.

            What the hell do you think his goal is?

              That’s a fair point, but I do still get the vibe that he cares more about money than fame. It just seems like he really wanted to run for president, and was disappointed when he won. He seemed to hate the last seven years and now it seems he’s just trying to stay out of jail and not have to pay a whole bunch of money, so he thinks being president again is the only way to do that.

                  I do think he enjoys fame, but not at all costs, because he’s clearly not enjoying himself now. Maybe he didn’t realize he didn’t want fame? Maybe he wanted fame only so that he could improve the value of his brand and make more money, but that’s no longer working.

                  He did, at one point, have quite a lot of money, he could have financed and starred in some movies if he really just wanted to be famous.

                    Starring in movies takes work. Pretending to be a successful businessman on TV does not. He doesn’t have to memorize lines and he can say whatever the hell he wants that way. Just like in his campaign stops. I really think you need to read about his life. Most of it has been spent chasing fame or looking for sex.
