Just because someone else isn't pulling Trump's strings doesn't mean he has different goals than any other billionaire. But I will agree that his perceived independence is a draw for voters, as is apparent with the polls.
But why would he stray from his normal business ventures to focus on a campaign if money was his goal?
Same reason that other billionaires invest time and money in politics: it's fruitful for them.
Call me skeptical, but I don't see the billionaire wanting to change the rules of the game that he's won multiple times over.
so making an extra $300k is fruitful for a billionaire?
doesnt this hold true for millionaires only for them the 'fruits' are more readily apparent ?
why elect someone with milllions?
why dont we elect someone that's homeless instead of people with money

The Koch Brothers aren't going to go broke either, yet they're dumping $1 billion into this election cycle for some reason.
Just because someone is rich doesn't mean they have no reason to be corrupt or even ambitious.

@pris idk what point you're trying to make.
There's a grand canyon worth of space between not electing a self serving billionaire and electing a homeless person.

Well, Trump is a self admitted political manipulator by using his money, to me that's a good thing, He's telling us the problem with the political system.
Trump can't be bought off, Trump can say anything he wants, I call that very refreshing in today's world.

It's refreshing but that doesn't mean he's being honest. People can lie without being paid to do so.

It is, if you've been paying attention you'll have noticed that everyone has acknowledged Obama rode corporate money into the White House.
The Kochs are simply an example.

The numbers I posted are the same ones Wiccan posted so check his original posting for his source if you don't believe me.

what oil subsidies?
America has always had ton's of oil and gas it's just that after we pumped texas out, they moved operations to the middle east now isis pumps our gas it's the equivalent of outsourcing and the gov't isn't going to stop it because they want back up resources for wartime nartural gas is different because there aren't any rules to it just dump some toxic shit in the ground and suck up fart gas

I find it kind of funny that people rage about about welfare moms and food stamps but never say a word about the bank bailouts. Wall street bankers are using your tax dollars to snort coke off a hookers ass, and that's just fine. But a single mom on welfare? Let her kids fucking starve. People who hate the poor are generally stupid. They are riled up by politicians taking about non issues so trillion dollar bailouts never come up. People need to stop being used like this. You hate the poor because you were told to. Useful idiots. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Useful_idiot

No, but that's a non sequitur.
to the contrary, it's exactly the point
anyone in that position can use it for personal gain and many do, just as pelosi and boener were caught for insider trading and werent prosecutable for the crime, just as hillary has used the position to further her career and her wealth, just as bill has done, just as bush has done and just as obama is doing
