I think I’ve figured out Trump’s end game…

(…and it isn’t what you think.)

Donald Trump.

Wait, let me correct that: President Donald Trump.

It’s already been a bit of a crazy ride and he hasn’t been president for all that long.

If you know me, you know I’m a liberal, planet-loving, animal-saving, modern hippy, tree growing, women’s rights supporting, gay marriage backing, can’t really be arsed to talk politics on social media or in blog posts type of person. I generally tend to avoid talking politics online because it’s so unbelievably nuts right now.

I have female friends who voted for Trump (I call them Trumpettes) but we’re still friends; just friends who agree to disagree.

But I felt compelled to write this post because I had an epiphany today and I want to write about it and count it as one of my post-a-day-in-May Medium posts.

Yes! Productive political bollocks. At least it counts for something. Hooray!

Get ready for the payload:

President Donald Trump actually wouldn’t mind being impeached. In fact, he may even want to be impeached.

There, I said it.

What???? Nah. What the hell are you talking about, Lisa?

I know, I know. You doubters there don’t think I have a case. But think about it for a minute.

Remember what he said recently about the reality of being POTUS?

“I love my previous life. I had so many things going. This is more work than in my previous life. I thought it would be easier. I thought it was more of a . . . I’m a details-oriented person. I think you’d say that, but I do miss my old life. I like to work so that’s not a problem but this is actually more work.” — Donald Trump

What if he really can’t be arsed with the job?

You know what they say about the thrill of the chase? I think the thrill of winning has now passed and the reality of being President is kicking in. And it’s boring and crap.

It’s too hard.

It’s work: only boring work with more rules.

The Donald is a competitor. He’s a businessman. He loves a challenge and he loves to win. So, he did that.

And the aftermath? Well, it’s kind of dull. And there’s a lot of responsibility. And they have had to change some of their business arrangements and people are hassling him about taxes and Russia and shit.

I bet it was kind of fun during the election campaign. You know, all that banter with Hillary: all that rivalry and one-upmanship? Didn’t they used to be friends or something way back in the day?

Now he and his family have to drop some of their business commitments and do official stuff. He’s even supposed to live in some crummy old house. And everyone is still banging on about Russia.

And he can’t be as funny as he was. I mean, I think he thinks he’s funny guy.

No more reality TV for a while, that’s for sure. It totally sucks ass.

Even tweeting has become less fun.

So, when President Trump recently fired James Comey, the director of the FBI, it started me thinking.

What if Trump basically just doesn’t give a shit anymore because he really wouldn’t mind being impeached? What if he is not afraid to be as outrageous as possible because, in reality, he’d be quite relieved if he didn’t have to do the job anymore?

What’s the worst thing that could happen to him?

He’s already proved that he could win, against all odds.

He’s already a winner.

He won the greatest job of all time, on the biggest, most watched version of reality TV ever. Nobody can take that away from him.

And the scariest thing about all this: what if I’m right? It seems unlikely that he will get impeached but what if he really doesn’t care either way?

Well, that would make him a president that has nothing to lose. A president even more dangerous than you could imagine.
