Svaret på det spørgsmål er oplagt, hvis man spørger den kontroversielle amerikanske dokumentarfilmskaber Michael Moore, som bl.a. står bag film som Fahrenheit 9/11 og Bowling for Columbine.
I et nyt blog-indlæg er argumentet, at Trump overhovedet ikke vil være præsident, og at det aldrig har været planen, at kampagnen skulle køre til ende. Istedet skulle kampagnen blot bruges som løftestang til at forbedre vilkårene i hans kontrakt med tv-selskabet NBC. Et forhandlingsstunt som altså gik noget over gevind og blev selvforstærkende.
Den store succes med kampagnen og muligheden for at Trump reelt kan blive præsident, skulle ifølge Michael Moore være ved at gå op for Trump nu. Det er begrundelsen for, at Trump nu er igang med at sabotere sin egen kampagne med bl.a. de nylige angreb på den afdøde soldats forældre og den slet skjulte opfordring til våbentilhængere om at skyde Hillary Clinton. Derved kan Trump langsomt vikle sig ud af kampagnen og trække sit kandidatur inden valget til november.

Således starter Michael Moore sit indlæg:
“Friends,
Donald Trump never actually wanted to be President of the United States. I know this for a fact. I’m not going to say how I know it. I’m not saying that Trump and I shared the same agent or lawyer or stylist or, if we did, that that would have anything to do with anything. And I’m certainly not saying that I ever overheard anything at those agencies or in the hallways of NBC or anywhere else. But there are certain people reading this right now, they know who they are, and they know that every word in the following paragraphs actually happened.
Trump was unhappy with his deal as host and star of his hit NBC show, “The Apprentice” (and “The Celebrity Apprentice”). Simply put, he wanted more money. He had floated the idea before of possibly running for president in the hopes that the attention from that would make his negotiating position stronger. But he knew, as the self-proclaimed king of the dealmakers, that saying you’re going to do something is bupkus — DOING it is what makes the bastards sit up and pay attention.”
