Look, I don't understand politics much at all. But I do understand marketing, promotions, and advertising.
Clinton has spent $52mil on advertising this year. The Donald has spent $0. This has never happened before in politics, and I'm pretty sure it has to do with a business strategy over trying to become a president.
Hear me out here. I've watched the Donald for over a decade. I was a HUGE fan of The Apprentice. I'll get into my Apprentice theories later, but now, I'm dealing with Donald the businessman. His show was all about branding and making money. This election cycle, he has successfully branded himself and increased the value of the Trump brand while creating a Presidential fund in 8 close to 9 digits. Why isn't he spending it?
Maybe, just maybe, he has no intentions of wanting or becoming the president of the US. If this is the case, the Trupeters and GOP have just been taken for a ride by a shrewd businessman. Maybe he wants to keep all of his campaign funds and laugh his way all the way to the bank, while contending the system is broken, and rigged against him (when it isn't), since he doesn't want to be president. By arguing this way, he still gets to build his brand by becoming the winner that the country had to screw over so he would never be president.
So even if Trump loses the election, he still wins his campaign fund as well as the hearts of the Americans that believed he could make a difference, even if he had no intention of leading them...
