If Trump didn't actually want to win then it makes his win against Clinton even more amazing.

Clinton had everything in her favor for the most part. Media, Obama and Obama admin ,twice as much money.

It really shows how bad a candidate Clinton actually was if she had all that going for her and still lost.

I would imagine any President elect has the same feeling, it's an enormous responsibility. I recall seeing Obama after his first highly classified briefing before taking over the office, he had a far off look in his eyes. I would imagine once those briefings begin to occur it really sets in.

There is cool tradition Presidents have, they leave each a private letter. When Trump walks into the oval offic for the first time as President there will be an envelope sitting on the desk addressed to "45".

US election: Donald Trump never wanted to be president, warned Michael Moore
More lies.

For instance Moore claims Trump was not being offered another season of The Apprentice when in FACT they BEGGED him to do another, the 15th, season.

A far stronger argument could be made that Hillary really didn't want to win. She disappeared for weeks at a time from the public eye while she was being ravaged for email, Clinton Foundation, Benghazi....

She took crucial days off to get drunk during the campaign. Showed up drunk at the 9/11 Memorial ceremony.

I didn't believe he did until the last month when he campaigned really hard.

I'm convinced this is true.

He wanted to win. Trump said he wanted to win, explicitly.
He worked at Tweeting. The media gave this clown SO MUCH time, so much Free time.

And it's not just Moore who talks about this fiasco.
