Insider: Trump Doesn’t Want
To Be President

Does Donald Trump really want to be President of the United States?  According to an insider who formerly worked for “The Donald,” the answer is a resounding NO!

In an open letter to voters supporting Donald Trump, Stephanie Cegielski, the former communications director of Trump’s now-defunct Super PAC said that not only did the former reality television star never expected to be the Republican nominee, but he never even wanted to be president.

Writing for the website xojane.com,  Cegielski said that when she was brought aboard as communications director for the Make America Great Again PAC last summer, the instructions from Trump Tower were to make sure that Trump finished a respectable 2nd place in the GOP primary.  She was assured that Trump was running as a “protest” candidate and not at all as a serious one.

“I don’t think even Trump thought he would get this far,” she wrote. “And I don’t even know that he wanted to, which is perhaps the scariest prospect of all.”

“He certainly was never prepared or equipped to go all the way to the White House, but his ego has now taken over the driver’s seat, and nothing else matters. The Donald does not fail. The Donald does not have any weakness.” She added a message to Trump supporters: “You can give Trump the biggest gift possible if you are a Trump supporter: stop supporting him!”

After all, why would Donald Trump really want to be president? As Commander-In-Chief, he would have to divest himself from certain boards, affiliations and investments.  He would also have to compromise with Democratic and Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill — something he’s not at all used to doing as the billionaire King of his own personal empire.

Trump would also have to make good on the many promises he’s made but never once explained how he could actually accomplish.  As a former insider, Cegielski believes Trump would be bored and ready to bolt the confines of the White House only weeks into his unlikely presidency.

So, why did Cegielski, now an adjunct professor at New York University and the owner of a communications firm, decide to become a Trump insider?

“I was tired of the rhetoric in Washington. Negativity and stubbornness were at an all-time high, and the presidential prospects didn’t look promising,” she wrote. In 2015, I fell in love with the idea of the protest candidate who was not bought by corporations. A man who sat in a Manhattan high-rise he had built, making waves as a straight talker with a business background, full of successes and failures, who wanted America to return to greatness. I was sold.”

However, she soon came to realize that Trump’s entry into the race had always been about raising his own profile, not about winning a presidential nomination or actually governing a country.

“Trump never intended to be the candidate. But his pride is too out of control to stop him now,” she wrote.

“He doesn’t want the White House. He just wants to be able to say that he could have run the White House. He’s achieved that already and then some. If there is any question, take it from someone who was recruited to help the candidate succeed, and initially very much wanted him to do so.”

Eventually, Cegielski began to look at Trump “as a member of the voting public rather than a communications person charged with protecting his positions,” that she started to feel disillusioned.

In the end, she said, she decided that Trump is not an authentic voice for disaffected Americans alienated from Washington and left behind by the global economy.

“He is not that voice. He is not your voice. He is only Trump’s voice,” she said, adding that she takes “full responsibility for helping create this monster,” and hopes Trump supporters will hear her cries.

So, what will happen if Trump is actually handed the GOP nomination and wins in November?  Will he announce that he doesn’t want the confines of the White House and tell the country “Never mind?”

One can only hope!
