Like a good 60% of a president's job is dealing with the press and addressing current issues

Maybe he wanted to help the country, and the press doesnt HAVE to be a focus. Whys this even a question?

There are other reasons to run for President

I stand by the theory that he never intended on actually winning but gained so much momentum that he didn't stop.

I dont think he wanted to win. When he was announced as president he just stood still emotionless.

Pretty much. I figure if he really only did this out of ego, he wouldn't be running for a second term given the media has done nothing but shit on him. So he has to be doing this because he wants to help the country.

is getting paid

He's not actually taking a salary, he's donating the presidential salary to charities. This time it was for fighting Coronavirus I believe. But you make a fair point regardless.

400k should be pocket change to someone who boasts of being a billionaire.

He loves the adoration he receives at his rallies. It's the closest he will ever get to that nod of approval he never got from his father.

Hating the press should be a prerequisite for being president at all.

He actually didn't do a press conference for 300 straight days during his term. Probably lost in the daily press conferences he is doing now. But there was a time you rarely saw him in front the press.

The thing is that he's a narcissist. Any criticism he receives is nasty and fake, it's only the praise that's good. He hears Fox News and the people at his rallies and the GOP Congressmen singing hosannas to his glory, he doesn't even need to hear the big mean CNN and the lying Fauci.
