Trump looking for an exit

Why is Donald Trump acting the way he is? The answer is becoming increasingly apparent to me. He doesn’t really want to be president, and he is looking for way out and that not being a loss to Hilary Clinton or whoever finally represents the Democrats.

I have tried to rationalize his latest issue with the judge in the Trump University case and it defies almost any rational explanation I can come up with. If there were issue of law or procedure, his lawyers would surely be addressing those.

Is he so thin-skinned that any potential setback to anything with his name attached causes such an irrational reaction? Is he such a megalomaniac that he believes the power of his personality will trump all political rationales.

I believe his campaign started as a lark that got out of control. Now it is becoming more real and he sees more downside than up, and being the business man he is, he’s looking for a way to minimize his losses.

How will this all play out? I really don’t know but it scares me. I wonder if this is how other global empires began their fall.
