Think of all that Donald Trump is willing to give up to run for POTUS. Leave aside the $100M of his own money he’s spent .. he gives up the freedom to go where he wants, when he wants and with whom he wants. He gives up his own plane for AF1 which usually is a quantum step up ... but now he has to be there with his small army of SS agents telling him where he has to stand, a WH staff telling him who he has to talk to, when. No Rolls Royces or Mercedes now, it’s “The Beast” only for auto transport. AND, even tho he owns a number of golf courses who wants to be he will spend less time on them than Obama has? And less silly nonsensical use of AF1?
Right I understand that all. That’s why I think it’s evidence of this all being kabuki theatre and Trump at the beginning had no intention of going this far.
