So trump and clinton came to a deal then huh. interesting. Maybe they were in on it together to sabotage the republicans?.........>_> *puts on tin foil hat and walks into tin foil room* <_< >_>

I still think he was originally a set up to get Hillary to win, but then Trump realized he had a chance to win himself and broke kayfabe.

My take during the election was that he was just trying to get a ton of free/low cost publicity (seriously, the amount of tv time he got vs. his campaign expenses is crazy, I don't like him but he knows how to manipulate the media) and never actually thought he could win when he entered.
Then when he realized the Republican field was such an utter cluster fuck that he was the preferred choice, he decided to just go for it because of how great an ego stroke it'd be to actually become president.

I also remember the awkward transition phase Feb-March 2016 timeframe, where he slowly came to the choice to go for it, where for a few weeks he seemed to just be outright sabotaging his own campaign. He wasn't prepared to actually win and tried to sink it. But by then the alternative was Ted freaking Cruz, so even that didn't work and eventually he just went with it, lol.
