One thing I don't understand.... [View all]

OK, Michael Wolff's book claims Trump didn't really want to be president, was just using the campaign to make himself a bigger star. Promised Melania she wouldn't have to be First Lady. Then he won, and he came out ashen-faced to make his acceptance speech.

But how does this square with Trump colluding with the Russians to rig the election in his favor? Maybe he just wanted to make it close; he didn't expect to win?

I do think the vote tallies in certain states were probably tampered with. But maybe Trump wasn't in the loop on that aspect?
