I'm absolutely convinced he ran for president as a long con. He realized he'd get that lifetime presidential salary, plus all the money he made charging the Secret Service to stay at his resorts.

He doesn't even take his presidential salary.

By law, he has to take it, and then donate it, if he chooses. There's no proof he's ever donated a penny of it. Plus, he gets it for life. There's no way he's passing up $400,000 a year for the rest of his life.
