      1. Let's step back and ask: what the fuck was Trump thinking when he ran for President?

      2. Unless Trump knows nothing about politics he must have known that a presidential candidate will be subject to intense scrutiny.

      3. He knew his closest had more skeleton than a mad scientist's lab. His treatment of women. His finances. That stuff would come out.

      4. He must have known there was vast potential to embarrass his family and possibly even get himself in legal trouble.

      5. So: again: what the fuck was he thinking when he ran for president? That none of this stuff would come out?

      He thought he'd get 20 percent of the vote in early primaries, make a statement, get a convention speaking gig, get respect.

          @DouthatNYT this is true. There's tons of evidence this was a lark that went further than expected

          I read an article from someone who was hired by Trump to help with getting him up to double digits, then lose and say "got close"

          I think he just doesn't really think very much. And he has such a high opinion of himself he thinks he's invincible

          @DouthatNYT I don't think he was after a convention slot; he just wanted to up his brand for a show/new network.

          @DouthatNYT He thinks the rules that apply to others don't apply to him. He was right, to a point.

          the other answer is that this is a man so steeped in self delusion and arrogance, he didn't care/didn't think it would matter

          He has an extreme narcissistic personality. Thinks he can bend reality to his will. Rules don't apply to him.

          7. @DouthatNYT's answer is a variation of "The Producers" theory of Trump, which I've toyed with since last summerhttps://twitter.com/DouthatNYT/status/784593673132597253 …
